Reply With QuoteYes, my team was in an upbeat mood because we took all 7 points. Some nights I'll be throwing 650 series and we only get 2 points.
It's confusing that some nights the release feels fine, then the next week...you can't do anything right.Originally Posted by NewToBowling
Also funny how sometimes that happens...and it's FAR better than being the one that COST the team 7 points.

A lot better night. I struggled a bit last game but happy overall with my game and good recovery from last week. Felt comfortable rolling the ball all night. Honestly should have had more strikes than indicated. A lot of pocket shots leaving single pins behind.
Only negative was missed two easy 3-6 spares which I usually make.

No 10 pins left last night but did leave four 7 pins
Felt good all night. Release was working for me. I was in the pocket most of the night. Only one cheap strike. What helped was getting good 10th frames (which is unusual for me)
I opened first frame of first game and then clean all the way through. Didn't realize it until I looked back at my game graph on PinPal app. Second time I have been one frame away from clean. This one just happened to occur at beginning of game.
Everyone on our team shot 600+ series scratch and took all 7 points. Places 2-7 are within 1 point of each other so depending on how other teams beat each other up we should be in second place next week.

4/6 on 10 pins last night
That split (4-6-7-10) in 9th frame of first game killed my average. Judging from what PinPal was estimating I lost 27 pins with that open vs a strike. But otherwise felt good with release. I think I'm finally getting it down where it will be consistent week to week.
We took 5/7 points and comfortably in second place. It will be tough to catch first place team. They held a 13 point lead going into last night.

Third straight 600 series.
Getting more consistent. Should have been higher but overall not disappointed. The key to me is to not have one of those games where it brings down the whole night. Keep your lowest game within reason and should be ok
We took all 7 points so it will be interesting down the stretch. Catching up to first place team

That's me every night, haha. I just started getting into bowling recently and got my first ball last month. Some games I'll string a few strikes together and then I'll miss one and feel something needs correcting and fight that battle getting back to a comfortable release a lonnnnng time.
True. The tricky part is things feel right when you are throwing it but take a video of yourself and it looks totally different. Hand is open at top of swing, hand not behind ball, etc...

3/4 on 10 pins last night
Fourth straight 600 series.
Good night. Clean first and last game. Bad second game.
I think the key now is not so much get high game scores but try to salvage those bad frames and bad games. There seems to always be a turd in there but I'll take 179 over the 140-150's I used to get when things weren't going well.
In that second game had 4-7-10 split, missed 2-4-5 and inexplicably missed a single 2 pin (along with missed 10 pin fill ball) but had enough strikes in the other frames to salvage the game.
We took another 7 points. Key is to separate us from 3rd place team. I think top team gets $450/per bowler. 2nd gets $400 and 3rd gets $350. Not bad.

600 series is broken. Honestly I hit the pocket most of the night. Three splits in second game (including 7-10) and a missed 10 pin will kill you. Add another split and another missed 10 in third game and that's all she wrote.
On the good side we did take 5/7 points with only one of us hitting 600+ so can't say I'm that disappointed
