Timmyb's scores

I only bowl league at one place and it's a higher friction house.

Don't necessarily have any issues with higher friction. I can bowl down and in, or bend it accordingly depending on the friction. It's the week-after-week of ****-poor carry that makes you nuts. 174 10-pins in one season, with a few weeks to go, says it all about this house. I would reckon there's a couple other guys in the league that are close to that number. Most guys in this league bowl in other houses, and all of them to a man will tell you they're 10-15 pins higher in those houses. We're not asking for a cupcake shot, but when there's no reward for a well-hit shot, it grinds on you.

I’m guessing the problem isn’t the lane conditions. You probably have pinsetters that have too much variation in where the pins get set and/or pins that need to be replaced.

Probably all that, and a whole bunch more. I'll go out on a limb and say the side walls and decks haven't been touched in years. Pin are definitely old. You can hear a few that are cracked. All of that will be the rest of the league's problems going forward.

Monday's scores. Better results working with the same garbage lanes.

205/208/242 = 655. Two opens in game one were the only ones all night (missed 10, and left the 5 on a 2-4-5-7-8). Game 2 was just sorta ho hum. Started 3 with 4 kills, and then left the loudest 9-pin on the planet. Just tried to stay in my head last night and it worked. 2 weeks left. Average stays 207.
