Two nights to report--
Thursday (subbing)--186/204/218 = 608. Toughest pair at Root River Lanes. Stayed in my lane and got what I could. Two splits were costly, though. Phaze II all night.
Monday regular league--182/224/180 = 586. Should've started with the AI, but I felt like I had the shot after practice, and started with the II instead. Left 5 7-pins in game 1 alone, and a 4-10 split. Game 2 I finally switched. This game could've saved a 600, but I missed 2 10-pins in a row. Last game i ran outta gas, after throwing 9 games in one week. Clean game, but only 2 strikes. Average slinks down to 206.
Old guy with power (15.5-16; 325). Current arsenal--Storm Phaze AI, Storm Phaze II, Storm Typhoon, Hammer Zero Mercy, Motiv Lethal Venom, Motiv Shadow Tank, Storm Mix (spare/dry). High sanctioned game - 300 (5). High sanctioned series - 856. A.V. 300-s - 8. Longest string - 25.
2026/2027 YTD highs--High game-233; high series-655

I came into Monday with a plan. Like Iron Mike says, everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth....
159/205/190 = 554. I felt like my Phaze II was possibly burning up before it was getting to the transition, so I went an polished it prior in the hopes it would get through and jump after. Very wrong. It was struggling in practice, but I figured I'd stick with it. Very wrong again. 4 opens in game 1. Switched to the AI in the 6th, and that got there to salvage a 159. Stuck with that, but then the dumb moves kicked in, and just never really got moving in the right direction. Think the experiment with the Phaze II is done. Pearls seem to work better on this pattern. Average now down to 199. Hope we've hit rock bottom....
That said, I'd take suggestions on an asym pearl. My 14# AI is a 2.49/0.053 symmetrical. Thinking an asym with near the same numbers might be the ticket.
