Really gotta love new ball nights.

221/238/248 = 707. Can't begin to say enough about how smooth the Typhoon was. Nice, even curl, super forgiving, but still hits like a truck. Still had 2 opens (a richly un-deserved 7-9, and whiffed a 10 pin), but tons of strikes made up for that. Made 7 of 8 10-pins. Average back up to 208.

We'll see what kind of stamina I have, as I have to prebowl Wednesday after work. Bringing the Shadow with just in case.

A 700 series! Nice!!

Back at it after a week off.

244/248/194 = 686. Another stellar night with the new Typhoon. Last game was frustration, and one errant shot cost me 700, the game, and 30 clean. Missed the 10-pin in frame 29....

Like where I'm going with the new ball. Average stays 208.

Nice bowling. Stinks about just missing the 700 though.

All good things come to an end. Especially if you're on 9/10....

192/215/171 = 578. Started with the Typhoon, but made a quick decision to the Venom. Pretty sure it was the right move, but just couldn't get carry. Game 1 was clean, but only 3 strikes. Game two had 7 strikes, but I whiffed a 7-pin. Game three had me in the pocket on every shot, but left a 4-5 (damn near made), and an inexplicable 4-7-10 (not even close). No one on the pair could wrap their heads around that last split, other than it may have wanted to be a pocket 7-10, and the 4 decided to hang around. Not the night I was looking forward to after the previous 2 outings. I will come back. Average still stays 208.

One of those night where you just wanna spit....

191/179/246 = 616. Was in the pocket (except one ball) all night, with no rewards until the last game. Tugged one ball in game 1, leaving the big 4. Game 2 literally on the money the whole game, with a pocket 8-10, and a pocket 7-10 to show for it. Game 3 started with 6, and then I whiffed a 10-pin. Got back on it after that, but damage done. Average stays 208.

Another fine night on 15/16, and the reason we're switching houses next year.

200/192/192 = 575. One ball out of the pocket all night left me with a big 4 in game 2. Pocket 7-10 destroyed what could've been a decent game 1. And then there was game 3. Started with a strike, and then 6 9-counts in a row. Strike in the 8th, and then the rest were 9 counts. 6 of those were 10 pins (now up to 174 this season, with 2 weeks to go). I can't find a reason to stay at this place. The manager was behind the bar, and all he could say was "yeah, it's a tough house". Good hit after good hit, with nothing to show for it, will cost you teams in the long run, which it sounds like 2 other teams will leave after the season is over. Goodbye Lucky Lanes, hello Country Lanes. Average sucks back to 207.

I guess just because the name says ‘Lucky Lanes’ doesn’t mean it’s good luck.
