    The November drop continues, the worst thing is it affects the whole team. Except my girlfriend she just uses a plastic ball, the conditions don't really affect her except when its really slick.

    Default Week 17

    URETHANE! Well I've been reading the debates over urethane in the other forums and the podcasts. You know the ones, Urethane ruins the shot for everyone else, most low average league bowlers shouldn't use it etc.

    Well I decided since it was the November slump, I couldn't do much worse. So I pulled the Faball Burgundy hammer back out and gave it another go. I got thumb tweaked with tape good, my foot didn't hurt this time. So I tried it out, in warm up and it looked pretty good and nobody complained I was going to ruin shot. So I started off with it and wound up using it all night, first full series with that ball in 20 years and I shoot a 600 series!

    Of the multi-pin spares I left all but 3 were caused by me pulling my arm across my body. The last two was because the right lane was changing, so after leaving the 4-7-10 I moved left struck twice and then popped a 7 pin. Single pin spares were all pocket hits.

    I was proud of that 4-7-10 pickup, I moved left and hit about 6th arrow with the hammer it was a perfect pick up.

    That Urethane was so smooth going down the lane, My speed was down slightly do to it being 16lbs. But when it hit pocket, it crushed the pins.

    We don't have bowling next week, But I can't wait to try it again and see how it does.

    Default Week 18 End of Half

    Well end of the half and a bad night, But I wasn't the only one.

    We just started back after a 2 week break and it's position round end of the half. I tried my Urethane again, But I couldn't hold on to it for nothing.

    I kept re taping the thumb hole and it felt good, but everytime I got to the release point it would fall right off. It was cold here and my thumb had shrunk right up. The Urethane looks good but until I change the grip I got to quit using it.

    The good point of the night was even with those low scores I won brackets.

    Default week 20

    Well nothing to brag about, but slightly better than last week.That second game went plop, that blew way fast. In 3 frames I moved 10 boards with feet and 5 boards at the arrows, But couldn't keep from going into the nose. I should have changed balls sooner, switched to the curse in the 9th and got back on it some.

    One of my team mates was popping 10 pins left and right about 7 in the 2nd game. he moved, changed balls but kept leaving them.

    We lost all, the other team 3 women and a guy, were spotting us 72 pins. The first game they beat us by 104 pins, 2nd game 180 pins, last game we stepped it up best we could and only lost by 14 pins.

    Well not bad (could be better) Shot a 600, we took all the points and I won 2 out of 3 brackets.

    started off with the paranoia, then switched to the curse 6th frame, 2nd game.
