213-236-155 = 604 series (201 Average)

League Average = 190 (+3 From Previous Week)

3/3 on 10 Pins last night. Feeling more comfortable with the 10 pin now. Just using strike ball straight at it. I do have a spare ball but just feel more at home using strike ball

First two games were good, only one two opens.

Third game wheels started coming off for everyone on the pair. Our team had all 200+ games first two games but third game we all struggled mightily. Just not good at lane transition. Nasty splits all over.

245-168-227 = 640 series (213 Average)

League Average = 193 (+3 From Previous Week)

3/5 on 10 Pins last night.

Two good games, one bad one sandwiched in between. 1 split and 2 washouts killed some of my momentum.

Position round. We were 4th place team facing 3rd place and lost all 7 points.

Nice bowling just have to clean up on some spares occasionally huh. Good job though, keep working on it.

Yes, the 2 missed 10 pins hurt. I should have converted the (2) 1-2-4-10 washouts also. Can't do much about the 4-6-10 split except don't leave it next time

0/1 on 10 Pins last night.

A meh night. Nothing exciting. Some strikes and spares here and there. Nothing memorable. Our team only got 2/7 points though.

League Average = 193 (No Change)

2/3 on 10 Pins last night. Left five 9 pins (converted them all)

An ominous start. Used Haywire first game. After switching to 900 Global Respect for games 2 and 3 finally realized why I sucked first game: thumb hole was a bit too loose but didn't realize it at the time. I was tugging and muscled most shots first game. Even missed a 6 pin. Finally threw the Respect 10th frame of first game and hand was so relaxed and ball just rolling off my hand. Hitting myself for not recognizing the issue and adding tape or just switching balls sooner. Learning experience.

Luckily two of my teammates had monster games (240+) so we eacked out a win. Got all 7 points last night

1/3 on 10 Pins last night.

Interesting night. Starting warming up and everyone starts noticing the balls basically hooking into left gutter. Can't keep right of pocket. 10 minutes in we all get called into the bar and they tell us the lanes weren't oiled. They try to oil them but find out mechanic put fluid in wrong compartments (oil in conditioner, etc). So they will have to flush the machine but that will take all night.

So we had option to postpone the league night or bowl as is. Most people agree to just bowl because everyone is basically bowling on same conditions.

First game started out with Cyclone seeing as that was my least aggressive ball but wasn't feeling it so switched to my polished Haywire mid first game and throughout and figured out my line.

Had to adjust for new lane conditions so tried rolling it with more end-over-end roll and had pretty good pocket shots. Moved 4-5 boards left also.

After a while got comfortable. If anything it was a learning experience and let me experiment with new release.

Also saved by having only 1 split tonight. Usually I get 3-4

195-246-212 = 653 series (217 Average)

League Average = 196 (+2 From Previous Week)

1/2 on 10 Pins last night. That one missed 10 pin cost me a clean series.

Also I believe this is my first series without a split. Hallelujah.

First use of newly drilled Hammer Scandal ball (from Get Your Gear League from Summer). OOB was 500/2000 and just wasn't feeling right in open play. So before league had it sanded to 2000/4000 and felt a lot better. Seemed to store more energy.

I have to say this might be my new favorite ball. Had the Snap Lock drilled a few months ago and could never make it work for me.

Left three 9 pins also. Two of them in the last game. Good pocket shots though. I'm just glad I didn't leave any splits.

League Average = 196 (No Change From Previous Week)

4/4 on 10 Pins last night.

Terrible first game. Whiffed on easy 3-6 and 6-9 leaves.

Picked it up 2nd and 3rd games but not enough to get 600 series. We lost all our points last night. Other team had 200 more pins handicap and bowled out of their minds. Can't beat a team when a 92 avg bowler bowls 140-150 all night.
