    what is the different reaction of the ball in the lower average house? I would guess you can adjust to it unless it's bad breaks on good hits?

    Side pots and brackets.

    Those that sweep the 3 games side can take home at least $80

    A separate side action worth $10 to $20 a game takes place some times takes place.

    There's a league that has something like 30 on the 10th frame, only one winner. If there's a tie, the money rolls over. winners can reach up to $1000+

    The reaction is virtually identical. It's almost as if there is only 1 board I can hit, and if I miss either way, I miss the headpin completely to the right or cross over. There is NO in between.

    Weekly league goals:

    1. 700 series
    2. No game under 200
    3. over 90% on single pins
    4. over 75% total spare conversion rate

    A non measurable goal to to read the transition and not be behind the moves, but if I reach my series goal it probably means I read the transition well.

    I'm positive $472 after 7 weeks from brackets and side pots. That's after taking my league expenses out as well. Best league night this season was week 3 for $190 profit night. Followed that up the next week with a $70 loss lol

    To learn something new that helps my game. I'm fairly new again & I pick up tidbits of info about playing the lanes, how to hook my ball less on dry lanes, changing my foot work, etc.

    If you're only using 1 ball for strikes and spares, flatten your hand out and throw straight at the pin(s). If you aren't able to do that (and there are those who can't) then get yourself a plastic ball.
