    So had to pre-bowl for the first week of the fall league. This Tuesday is the first night of the fall league but also the final night of the summer league so a bunch of us have to pre-bowl. Took my step-son to try to get him involved. First game was a 200, 2nd game I struggled a little with a 167, 3rd game was a 192. Had 2 splits in the 2nd game, including in the 10th frame. Lanes were much drier than our normal league night and to top it off I surfaced my BWG and Brunswick Rhino with the CTD 2000 grit. The BWG was pretty strong. Had to move about 3 boards to get the pocket. I didn't touch the Kingpin with the CTD but it was a little stronger with the drier conditions.

    Game 1: 200 (6 strikes, 2 spares, 2 opens)

    Game 2: 167 (4 strikes, 3 spares, 3 opens-2 splits)

    Game 3: 192 (4 strikes, 6 spares, 1 open-1 split)

    Series: 559

    Average: 186.33

    Running average: 186.33

    First ball average: 8.64

    Strikes: 42% (14/33)

    Spares: 61% (11/18)

    Single pin spares: 83% (5/6)

    Rough night. Tonight was the bracket tourney to determine the championship for the summer league. There were 40 teams and the top 20 made the tourney with the top 4 getting a first round bye. We finished in 10th so had to bowl the 15th place team in the first round. The team we bowled against had 207 and 186 averages while we were 205 and 177 so pretty close. The first game I had a 173 while my teammate had a 183. The 2nd game I had a 160 while my teammate had a 279. We lost by 39 scratch and 23 with handicap. Our opponents had 151 and 257 the first game and won by 44 (with handicap). The 2nd game they had 420 (not sure what their individual scores were). So we lost by 23 total. I was below my average but combined we were over our average by about 31 total the other team was just on more than us overall. So we got knocked out first round. Still got $300 ($100 each). We have 3 on our team but rotate.

    I was near the pocket all night but my ball had to be dead on to get a strike.

    Game 1: 173 (5 strikes, 3 spares, 3 opens)

    Game 2: 160 (3 strikes, 5 spares, 3 opens-1 split)

    Series: 333

    First ball average: 9.09

    Strikes: 36% (8/22)

    Well still struggle in game 2. I think it's more mental. We bowled one of the top teams in terms of averages. Their averages were 217, 206, 219, 222, and 172 (and the 172 bowler had a 278 in game 2). We were getting about 80 pins and were up by about 160 1/2 way through. They came back strong and going into the 10th they were up by about 30. I was 4th in the lineup and struck out and the anchor left the 7 and picked it up so needed a strike for us to win and he got it. We won by 1 pin. The 2nd game they came out on fire. They won by 199 (254, 278, 257, 217, and 191). The 3rd game we came back strong and won by 187 so ended up losing total by 11...ugh. Still got 4/7 points against one of the top teams.

    Game 1 I was hitting the pocket and getting my strikes but had a couple of opens. The 2nd game I couldn't pick up any spares. 3rd game was clean.

    Game 1: 214 (had high game on our team) (8 strikes, 2 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Game 2: 150 (5 strikes, 1 spare, 5 opens)

    Really struggled tonight. Approaches were very tacky and tweaked my knee in practice. Even to the point I felt it was going to give out on my a couple of times. I kept pulling my shot and wasn't consistent. Spares were horrible. The only bright side was my teammates were on fire and we won all 3 games.

    Game 1: 136 (4 strikes, 1 spare, 6 opens-1 split)

    Well first game was good and I got my hopes up. My spare shooting was on tonight but my strike ball was non-existent. Had 8 strikes in 3 games. My plant leg was hurting so bad by the 3rd game I could hardly put weight on it. Not my knee but my thigh. My scores got worse as the night went on. Lanes were tough tonight. We couldn't get any carries all night. I couldn't hit the pocket. My starting line was hitting brooklyn but if I moved 1/2 board I hit light. Tried switching balls and same thing. I did try a little different release though. I got a little more around the ball on my release. Alot more revs and had to move about 2 boards to get to the pocket. The whole team (both of us actually) struggled to hit the pocket. The other team got lucky breaks all night. 9 count and pins would roll around and knock it over...all night long. They won the first game by about 48, 2nd by about 140, and we won the 3rd by about 70.

    Game 1: 191 (3 strikes, 6 spares, 1 open)

    Game 2: 174 (3 strikes, 5 spares, 2 opens)

    Game 3: 159 (3 strikes, 5 spares, 3 opens-2 splits)

    Tough night. You might be using your thigh more trying to compensate for your knee. I would suggest stretching it throughout the night.

    Really rough night. No aches or pains but was just horrible. Couldn't hit the pocket no matter what. I guess the only positive was our whole team was bad and our opponents weren't very good either. Put the S10 sole on and it was better but I did fall once because of it. The highlight for me was picking up the 6-8-10 (real hard for a lefty)

    Pre bowled today since anniversary is tomorrow. Based on my scores I should pre bowl more often. I have been struggling bad lately. My spare shooting was horrible today but at least I was hitting the pocket consistently and getting strikes. I also went a little further outside than I have been (which is where I had always thrown but struggled to get there lately). I was pretty worn out by 3rd game and back was starting to hurt a little. Bowled 3 games in about 45 minutes.

    Game 1: 203 (6 strikes, 2 spares, 2 opens)

    Game 2: 213 (7 strikes, 0 spares, 3 opens)

    Game 3: 173 (5 strikes, 2 spares, 3 opens)

    Spares: 33% (4/12)

    Single pin spares: 12% (1/8)

    Had I picked up all of my single pin spares I would have had a 223.00 average today.

    Struggled again. Did good last week and noticed when I get the ball to the 1st arrow I hit the pocket more consistently and carry strikes. Struggled tonight to hit my mark the first 2 games. Used the Kingpin all night. Lanes were drier than normal outside so picked up my speed a little to compensate. 3rd game started rotating my shoulder and consistently hit the pocket the last 5 or 6 frames but couldn't get carries. Spare shooting sucked again. Noticed my spares are getting too many revs and missing high.

    Game 1: 152 (4 strikes, 3 spares, 4 opens)

    Another horrible night. Just can't figure it out. Been struggling with spares then tonight couldn't throw strikes. First game was clean until the 10th frame. 1 strike and the rest spares until the 10th. 2nd game couldn't make a spare or strike. 3rd was pretty much the same. Missing easy spares after not missing in the first game. To top it off I hit the pocket about 95% of the time and couldn't strike with either ball. 3rd game moved in to the 3rd arrow and started with a 3 bagger then fell apart.

    Fell again because of the S10 on my slide shoe and tweaked my knee so changed to the S8 but slide leg was pretty sore and it was affecting me. Good news is we were in 2nd in our division (1 game out) and bowled the 1st place team in the other division. We won 2 of 3 and got 5 of 7 points. We are now tied for 1st in our division.

    Teammates had 623, 618, 648, and 627. I had a 462.

    Game 1: 178 (1 strike, 8 spares, 1 open)

    Game 2: 124 (3 strikes, 1 spare, 6 opens-1 split)

    Game 3: 160 (4 strikes, 2 spares, 5 opens-2 splits).

    Left a bunch of 7's in game 2 and 3.
