Timmyb's scores

Saturday Senior/Non-senior handicap tournament. Fondly referred to as the "Over/Under".

Update--Ended up tied for 9th place in the city.

Same here. 686 last night and 5 opens cost me a possible 750 (opened 9th and 10th in game 2)

Congrats Timmyb.

Boatman, I had a pair of 640's this week. I just am unable to carry consistently. This is a easy house shot and can't seem to find the best spot to carry from. I will go strike 10 pin strike 7 pin. I shouldn't complain but I watch the kids slinging pins everywhere. Steve

Funny thing is, I was the guy slinging pins this week. I had a couple of messengers where I thought a two-hander was out there....

I am good for 1 maybe 2 messengers per season. My rev rate and ball speed are a notch below yours so there lies my problem. I have come to the conclusion my rev rate and ball speed are what they are I have to be more accurate. Steve

I was getting great carry the other night. Maybe the best I have seen for myself. We have a 2 hander with a pretty high rev rate on our team and I was getting the kind of carry he usually gets

Stayed on task, but getting a little tired of mistakes.

251/214/245=710. Book-ended the first game with 5 in a row. Unfortunately, plunked a Greek Church right in the middle of that. Book ended game two with 2 whiffed 7-pins. Started 3 with 7 straight, then blew a 10-pin. One other open equaled 5 on the night. Getting a little concerned with an increasing amount of single pin misses. That crap will kill a good night. Average ticks to 221.

710 with 5 opens looks great on paper but I understand the frustration there. I experienced it last week. My issue was last night was the opposite. Couldn't keep the ball on the left side of the head pin but only had 1 open (well 2 if you count my gutter ball). Yep, in warm-ups was getting the ball out to about the 2 board when I was targeting the 6-7. First ball of game 1 dropped in the gutter then left the 2-4-7. But I went in early last night and threw 2 practice games shooting at nothing but corner pins with my T-Zone

Nice night especially with 5 opens! I was 30 clean again last night (with a 4-7-10 conversion) for a 629. I just am unable to carry. Left a bunch on 10,7 and 4 pins. Congrats on your carry!! Steve

Better night than last week, with a lot less mistakes.

214/267/245=726. Lanes were a little grabby right from the start. First shot went through the nose, leaving a 4-6-7. Did not open again for the rest of the night. 6 9-counts in the first game was frustrating, but by the end of that game, the lanes came to me. Had to throw pretty hard all night, and I'm paying for that today. Next Tuesday is the MRI on my right shoulder. Not expecting this to end well. Average up to 223.
