    Well they got the standings posted, We're off to a great start! We're tied for dead last!! We bowled against some older ladies, basically just straight balls, down and in. They picked their spares up.

    It kind of goes along with something I read, A guy said there are two ways to do sport leagues. Play the patterns, you know do all the things right breakpoints, exit point, moving in the whole nine yards etc. etc.

    OR if all you want to do is have a decent average, Basically Stand right (or left as the case maybe) throw straight or down and in at the pocket. The pattern for the most part won't affect you much, You'll strike some and you just have to pick your spares up and you'll average about 180.

    At least I'm starting off with a higher average. Last season I started with a 135 and finished with a 143, This seasons start is a 151. So I have to stay above that.

    This sounds fun. However, I shudder to think how my scores might look on these.

    Default Week 02: PBA Scorpion 42'

    Well it took two games and trying every ball, But I shot my first 200 for this season of the league! and we even won one game.

    We were on the new PBA Scorpion 42' pattern, We were supposed to bowl on lanes 5-6. But the AC wasn't working down on that end of the house, So they moved the league down to the other end lanes 27-28 for us. (I'll tell you it wasn't that much cooler down there) Boy the open bowlers that got put on the other end got a surprise on those lanes .

    I started out with the Blunt Force, thumb was kind of tight. I wasn't striking but was covering spares at first. 8th frame I switch to the Plague Urethane, better fit but it plowed through the pins like a bulldozer for a couple of splits right off. So switched to the Curse, after a couple of frames but that wasn't quite it. I gave the Urethane one more go on a different line, but no go.

    So I switched back to the Blunt Force and gave up trying to "Play" the pattern the way your supposed too. I moved way right, stood on 12 and just slow stroked it across 7 at the arrows out to 5 and just let it roll into the pocket. That gave me, Brooklyn and pocket strikes, frames 4-8-9 I gunned it down the lane a bit too much.

    The other team had a lefty and he was playing a similar line, but with more revs. He started with a deuce, but fell off as the games went on.

    I think my Paranoia with some surface would have been better for the other games, but I didn't have it with me.

    Week 03: MSBS Elephant 41'

    Had to watch out on this one, get outside of 5 and it wouldn't come back. I stood right and basically just pointed at the pocket.

    Default Week 04: 2017 Pepsi PWBA Lincol Open 36'

    Week 04: 2017 Pepsi PWBA Lincol Open 36' nothing much to write home about.

    Short oil this week, the pattern called for ICE oil. But that wasn't ICE oil.

    I had too much surface on the Urethane, it was way too early. The Curse was too snappy, The Blunt Force was kind of even.

    The 3rd game I was pitching plastic starting 4th frame.

    But hey the games were over average and we took 6 points out of 8.

    Default Week 05: PBA Don Carter 50'

    Week 05: PBA Don Carter 50' (and the Pyramid Blunt Force.) Well tonight was something! between my team and the other team, I was the only one there!

    There's 3 people to a team, my team is short one. My partner wasn't here tonight and 2 players of the team we were playing were at the nationals and the third was at his daughters something Their going to post bowl.

    We'll most likely lose all or win one game maybe, I shot my a$$ off the first game with a 252! I was using the Pyramid Blunt Force. I think that's the 4th highest game on the league so far and it gives me a 300 handicap game. It was also 102 POA. pocket strikes and Brooklyn's.

    2nd game just broke average and 3rd I died off, I bowled 3 games in about a hour and 10min. I tried to go at a even pace, but well couldn't keep it up.

    But hey I raised ave by 5 pins and I think I'll be on the sheet next week.
