    A little lesson this week. What do you do when the owner decides the scores are too high? You add two units of oil, and run the pattern out another 5 feet.

    181/160/160 = 501.

    I could not find a point where the ball would break. Ten opens tonight, of which 8 where the 2-pin split variety (made one). When I asked the manager what they called this pattern, he said "a mistake". My guess is this won't be back. I get throwing us a curve now and then (or lack thereof), but no one signed up for a challenge league. It's a 960 scratch. The highest series in the house last night was 635.

    Ugh.....

    195/227/177 = 599. Figured out in practice that I've been chopping off my swing big time, probably a good 10-15 degrees on the backswing. Started to make sure the arm was getting up in the swing, and things started to feel better. That didn't seem to stop the ridiculous amount of dummy mistakes, although I did not miss any single pin spares, especially 10 pins (5). Shoulder is still a bit of an issue in that I can't hold the ball for long with my left arm, but no pain tonight. Guess I'll take the good with the bad. Average suffering at 192.

    Wish I was suffering at 192...lol. I was averaging 190ish for about 5 or 6 weeks then the wheels fell off the last 3 weeks. I'm averaging 158 the last 3 weeks. But yeah, a teammate had a 599 last week and he was frustrated too. At this point I'd be happy with a 499...lol

    This is getting monotonous.....

    219/168/216 = 603

    Okay, yeah, better than last week. First game was marvelous, but a wiffed 10 pin, and a big 4 in the 10th killed it. After the split, wheels came off. One strike in the second game. 6 10-pins, one missed, and two dumb a** opens. Polar opposite of game one. Started game three with 4 in a row, and then inserted head in a** again. I'm having some serious timing issues. It'd be nice if it were the same thing, but I can't even keep track of the ridiculous amount of mistakes. If I culled half of them, I'd be sitting 215-220 right now. Instead, 194 is it. I know I'm better than this bullsh*t....

    Look at it this way Timmy...at least your bowling. I seen those pictures you posted of you surgery and you should be somewhat happy you are cracking 600's this soon after the "destruction". Hang in there. Your body is still healing and it will all come with time.

    Trust me, I am happy with my progress, but realize that I'm also exceedingly impatient as well. When they tell you shoulder surgery is a 10-12 month recovery, they mean it. I'm just not always willing to accept that.....

    ....and the hits just keep coming.....

    10 minutes before I'm ready to leave for bowling, I stub (later to be found broken) my right pinky toe. Me being me, once the crying was over, decide to go bowling anyway.

    185/182/245 = 612

    It wasn't terrible through first and most of the second game (third game was pretty uncomfortable), but my shot making was. The Sure Lock was either going through the nose, or barely touch the head pin. My teammate finally suggesting switching balls, which meany going to the IQ Nano. Instantly smoothed out my reaction, and actually had more snap at the back end then the Lock. I've been having weird issues all this year with very inconsistent reaction from the "big ball", and I'm thinking now that the cover may just be burnt. Same issues I had last year with the Widow. PSO told me up front when I bought these that they wouldn't last long, and I'm thinking he's right on about that. Don't have the extra money just now to go shopping, so I may give the IQ a bit of a workout in the future. Average up 1 to 195. Hoping swelling is down enough to bowl next week....

    Like I said, wasn't actually terrible until it started to swell up around the end of the second game. The fact that I tie my shoes really tight did not help. Alcohol did......
