    We have the AMF system and it measures near the pins. Whether it is accurate or not who knows but the other 4 guys on my team are all about 15.5. Our sub is up around the 18 mark too but he pretty much angles straight towards the pocket. When I throw that hard I'm hitting about the 7 board at the arrows and pretty much ride there till the end of the pattern then it turns hard right. But wither way, I was about 3 mph faster than any of my teammates the other night and normally 1.5-2 mph faster than them.

    Well think I figured it out...now just have to fix it. I had been trying too many things and just complicating it. Been trying to cup the ball more, open my shoulders (to help in cupping the ball) and using a little different release and this has been leading to inconsistency. Tonight wanted to focus on slowing down, forget about cupping more than usual, and try to stand a little more upright at my release. Did a good job of this all night. My ball speed was slower than usual (thats a good thing). Problem is game 2 I started throwing harder and tugging my arm. Game 3 got worse until the 10th frame when I really focused on it. Ended with 213, 178, and 166. My spare shooting killed me. Had 6 strikes in game 1, 5 in game 2, and 6 in game 3. But game 3 was only a 166 with 6 strikes. I only had 1 spare and 4 opens and they were easy spares. I really need to focus in games 2 and especially 3. My speed goes up and I start tugging the ball. If I can fix that and stop missing those easy spares...I had 17 strikes tonight. Problem is I only had 6 spares but had 8 opens. I threw a gutter to start game 3 and left the 6 pin, missed the 1-2-3-4-5, missed the 5-8, 1-3-6-7, 2-4, the 10, the 4-7, and the 5-9. Should have easily made 5 of those.

    Just an update on the 'blackout' thing I commented about. It was more of a mental thing than physical and it was better last night. I think it was because I was trying to focus on so many different things at once. Last night I went back to more of my 'normal' release and slowed my speed back down and things were more calm and I could pay attention to what I was doing.
