Timmyb's scores

Not terrible. not stellar.

242/198/214=654. This was easily a 700 without the 2 opens in each game. Lanes 1-2 have this knack for making you pay for being even a little bit off, but that doesn't account for the 2 2-4-5 leaves I missed. Considering I started both games 1 and 3 with 4 in a row, mistakes will kill you. Average stays 221.

Still a decent night like you said not good not bad. I am having the same type year as you so far. This week I had a 640 in one league then had 727 (30 clean) in the other league. For me it is all about getting the ball to go through the pins good on these house shots. Steve

I hate to say this, but I rarely watch my ball go through the pins. I'm sure it's in my line of sight, but I kind of watch everything. I have a different release and turn on the ball than most people have (my PSO calls me a "spinner"), and it generates some pretty ridiculous pin action at times, so I get caught up in watching that.

I’m in the same club. Probably more a result of being a once a week bowler for the first 30 some years that I bowled, not knowing I should be observing the ball all the way through the pins, than having spectacular pin action.

For the past year or so I have been trying to focus on where my ball exits the pin deck. It does seem the harder I throw the harder it is for me to focus on it. I'm trying to get to where I can view where it exits the deck and also to see what the 7 pin does but haven't made it that far yet...lol

Another thing that may hinder me watching that is I'm a spot bowler who relies on my release being consistent. My progression is feet, spots, approach, and release. I watch for my break point down the lane, and then watch it hit. I figure I average near 220, so something in all that mess works....

I also am a spot bowler also. I watch the ball through the arrows then at the break spot the last thing is how it goes through the pins. I use to just look at the foul line for the longest time until changing to spot. Continue your great season. Steve

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

Me-214/228/198=640
Antonio-675 (shoulda wrote his scores down)

Tough shot. Haven't bowled in this house in 6 years, but memories of how fast lanes conditions change, and memories of standing 5 boards apart on the same pair didn't go away. Stayed with the Phaze all day, just because it breaks later than my other 2 balls. Two opens per game were what prevented me from a better day, that and leaving a ton of 10 pins (8). Still, it was above my posted average. Couple that with my partner shooting 120 pins above his, and with handicap, we stand 4th in the tournament with three squads to go. We'll see what happens.

Tuesday scores. Not really in the groove right now.

200/181/214=595. Was a struggle from the beginning. Missed spares (7) were the big culprit tonight, but a complete lack of any ability to throw the same shot twice was behind a lot of it. 9 games in one week is more than I bowl regularly, so I may have been tired, but no excuse, I did not execute tonight. Average drops to 219. I want my magic back from a few weeks back....

Back in the groove.

214/258/226=698. It helps to pay attention to ball reaction. Since the big night a month ago, neither of my solid balls I keep in the bag were giving me any kind of consistency (outside of my own dumb mistakes), so the SureLock got left home in place of the Phaze III. Took a couple of frames to figure out to move about 4 boards left to let this thing move. It's definitely not a "down and in" kind of ball. Once I got settled in, things went well. 3 opens cost me a good 700 series. My 10-pin abilities seem to be suspect lately....

Average back to 220.
