Well done on going 9/9 on 10-pins. I'm jealous.
And if you can make that "final tweak" to carry that 10-pin...you're golden.

Saturday Milwaukee area USBC Senior/Non-Senior tournament. Worst. Showing. Ever....
193/163/204 = 560. Was literally just not prepared for the volume of oil they put down. Pretty sure the shot was also near 45'. Throwing a Phaze II dead straight over 8 did not always make it to the pocket, which helped if you missed left a little, but hoowey, if you missed right, it was not coming back. Left at least 4 washouts (stopped counting), and went right of 2 of the 3 10-pins I left (note that number). I've bowled worse in tourneys, but I don't remember when. High note? This house has a Monday 3-man scratch league, and from the liveliness of the pin action we saw, we're thinking this could be a new home next year. Hope tonight is better.
