Well tonight was rough but there were bright spots. I struggled compared to the last 4 weeks but was pretty close to my overall average and was 5/6 on single pin spares so that was an improvement. Just struggled to hit the pocket tonight. Targeted 2nd arrow in warmups and did good. Once game 1 started I kept hitting light. Made and adjustment but would hit light one frame then high the next. Moved out to the first arrow and was better but still not as consistent as I should have been. Tried moving back just inside the 10 board but still struggled so went back out to the 5-7 board and stayed there. I stuck with the Conspiracy all night as I figured a ball change wouldn't help my accuracy. One thing I noticed was I was my speed was way up. I did try to slow it up a few times but it didn't help. I just felt off tonight. Had my hopes up after the last 2 weeks but just couldn't figure it out tonight. We lost all 3 games. I did get better as the night went on again so that's a good thing (162, 179, 184). Had a 175 average and my average for the season was 177 so close to it. There were a few times I hit a nice pocket shot and the next ball it would just go straight and miss the headpin. The shot looked the same and the release felt good but the ball never broke. I had good revs all night and was getting a pretty good angle into the pins. It just seemed like I hit my mark most times but the ball would either be too light or too high. Not sure if it was me or the line was that sensitive. Either way I tried the 5-7 boards and 10-12 boards and nothing helped. Dunno. Maybe a different ball would have helped?
Hoping next week is better.
