    Tough night. It was divisional position rounds and we were in 4th. Won all 3 and moved up to 3rd. We all struggled a little. Lanes were pretty dry even inside. I hit the pocket consistently all night but kept leaving a pin. Started with the Conspiracy targeting the 9 board and kept leaving 7's. Moved in, moved out, tried the Black Widow Gold, threw harder, threw slower, tucked the pinky....nothing worked. Towards the end of game 1 I was back out to the 6 board. Game 3 went back to the 9 board and finally started striking. Last week I was striking like crazy and missing spares. Tonight I was covering spares but struggling for strikes. Both teams struggled tonight.

    Game 1: 174 (4 strikes, 4 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Game 2: 166 (2 strikes, 6 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Game 3: 224 (7 strikes, 2 spares, 1 open-1 split)

    Nice finish on the night! Way to grind out the spares on tough conditions.

    Thanks. The 2 lanes were playing different at the start. The left lane I was right in the pocket but the right lane kept coming in light so I moved outside a little and that's when I started leaving 7's. By game 3 I was targeting the 9 board at the arrows on both lanes so they ended up playing the same but we had 5 lefties on the pair.

    A couple weeks ago an employee at our center passed away so tonight they had a fundraiser for him so wife and I went out to bowl a few and spend some money supporting the cause. Wife isn't a bowler but we bowled 4 games and her high was a 94. The lanes were extremely dry all the way across. My goal tonight was to hit my mark consistently, slower ball speed and try to be more upright on my release. I failed at all 3....lol. First game I used the Conspiracy targeting from the 5 board to the 10 board and the ball was hitting the wrong side of the headpin no matter what. 2nd game switched to the Kingpin and same result. I did start hitting the pocket near the end of game 3 but no carry. Even tried the Rhino Black Pearl that hardly hooks at all and it hit the pocket from my normal line I use with the Conspiracy. Game 3 I got out the Black Widow Gold. Haven't really used it all this year but tried it a couple frames this past Tuesday and it only hooked about 3 boards. Tonight it was hooking like my Conspiracy usually does. Stood on about 13 and targeted 7 and hit the pocket consistently and got the carry. Game 4 was the same except I wasn't as consistent hitting my mark. I kept tugging my shots in game 4 but kept it clean (only 2 strikes)

    Game 1: 138 (2 strikes, 3 spares, 5 opens, 2 splits-1 covered)

    Game 2: 151 (1 strike, 5 spares, 4 opens, 1 split)

    Game 3: 214 (6 strikes, 3 spares, 1 open)

    Game 4: 190c (2 strikes, 9 spares, 0 opens)

    Average: 173.25

    First ball average: 8.58

    Strikes: 25% (11/43)

    Spares: 66% (20/30)

    Single pin spares: 69% (9/13)

    So tonight was league tourney night. All 16 teams eligible. We had to draw for lane assignments and we got 39-40, the worst pair in the house. We were all bowling against each other so not just against the other team on our pair. The approaches were very sticky and the lanes very dry. We finished 4th of 16 teams. We were 96 under our average in game 1 but came back in 2 and 3. Me and a teammate got there early and bowled a warmup. I did ok there (189). Struggled in game 1 of league. Couldn't string any strikes together and left too many spares. With the exception of game 1 I was consistent (189, 195, 194). Tonight I missed the 1-2-4 twice, both times leaving the head pin.

    Practice game: 189 (4 strikes, 5 spares, 1 open)

    Game 1: 167 (5 strikes, 2 spares, 3 opens-1 split)

    Game 2: 195 (6 strikes, 4 spares, 1 open)

    Game 3: 194 (5 strikes, 3 spares, 2 opens)

    Series: 556

    Average: 185.33

    Running average: 179.86

    First ball average: 9.12

    Strikes: 50% (16/32)

    Spares: 60% (9/15)

    Single pin spares: 75% (6/8)

    Splits: 0% (0/1)

    Struggled bad again until game 3. Very inconsistent first 2 games (used Conspiracy). Game 3 switched to the Kingpin in the 4th frame and rolled 211. Would have probably been more if I had switched at the beginning of game 3. First 2 games just inconsistent hitting light 1 frame then high next frame.

    League is over and summer league starts next week. Finished this league at 179.76. Last season finished at 173.17 and summer league was 177.18 so going the right direction. My average by game is 178.15, 179.81, and 181.31 so get better as the night goes on.

    Well almost rolled an 800. Problem was it was the first week of summer league and it's a 4 game set...lol. But still s very good night for me. Struggled in game 1. We bowl 2 games on a pair against 1 team then move to a new p[air against another team. Started on 39-40 which is the hardest pair at our house. Started with the Kingpin playing the 10 board. Kept hitting light. Switched to the Conspiracy about the 8th frame. Only 2 strikes in that game but teammate rolled a 277 so we got the win. Game 2 I moved to the 7 board and started hitting better. Score sheet says I rolled a 193 but my phone app says 191 so not real sure. Can't even figure out how to get to 193 with what I rolled. Had 5 strikes that game. We moved to lanes 3-4 next and it was like a light switch. Game 3 9 strikes and rolled a 233 with an open in the 9th (stupid 7 pin). Game 4 started with 2 opens but still rolled a 205.

    Game 1: 166 (2 strikes, 6 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Game 2: 191 (5 strikes, 6 spares, 1 open)

    Game 3: 233 (9 strikes, 2 spares, 1 open)

    Game 4: 205 (6 strikes, 3 spares, 2 opens)

    Single pin spares: 85% (12/14)

    Thanks. Was nice to finally have a night where I was hitting both strikes AND spares. Usually I get a bunch of one but none of the other

    Default it was awful

    Just a horrible night. Struggled to hit the pocket the first couple games and when I did no strikes. Game 1 had 2 strikes and 1 was a Brooklyn. Game 2 0 strikes. I was pretty good with my spares in game 1 then lost that likely due to frustration. Teammate really struggled too. He hit the pocket most of his shots and not many strikes for him either.

    Tried both the Conspiracy and the Kingpin all the way from the 5 board to the 10 board. If I hit the 5 board it went straight. If I missed by a board to the inside I went through the nose. Had to be perfect and tonight I was far from that.

    Game 1: 181 (2 strikes, 7 spares, 1 open)

    Game 2: 127 (0 strikes, 4 spares, 6 opens)

    Game 3: 158 (2 strikes, 4 spares, 4 opens)

    Game 4: 175 (4 strikes, 5 spares, 2 opens)
