    Well tonight sucked. Started out on a high note. Hit the pocket about every shot in game1 and kept it clean. And slowly went downhill from there. I just started struggling to hit the pocket. Started with the Squatch pearl and the end of game 2 tried the BWG but wasn't comfortable with how it was coming off my hand. Just didn't feel right for some reason. After about 3 frames with it went back to the Squatch. The Squatch was still reacting ok and getting good carry but I was struggling with consistency so tried a different ball just for a changeup. I have bout 35 games on the Squatch on it's original OOB finish so thinking I need to freshen it up before next week. Spare shooting was pretty good all night. Just struggled with strikes. Had 6 in game 1 but only 12 on the whole night.

    Wow. What a night. Filled in for a guy in the Friday night league. Game 1 struggled early to find the pocket. Started with the Conspiracy and couldn't get any carry. Switched to the Squatch and still no good. Started out at my normal 7 board and was hitting the pocket pretty consistently towards the end of game 1 but still no carry. Moved inside the 10 board and started leaving the 5, the 8, or the 9. Moved out to the 5 board and finally started getting strikes towards the end of game 2. It was a pretty tight line but it's the only place I could strike.

    The worst part of the night was 7th frame of game 2. No strikes up to that point and thats when I had moved out to the 5 board. 7th frame left a 4,8,10. Got frustrated and went for it. Threw as hard as I could, got off balance and faceplanted the lane about 5' downlane...lol. Pretty embarrassing.

    Game 1: 161 (5 strikes, 2 spares, 4 opens)

    Game 2: 187 (3 strikes, 7 spares, 1 open-1 split)

    Just a bad night. Couldn't match ball with lane conditions. Game 1 started good. Hit the pocket and got strikes but missed spares like crazy all night. Game 2 started leaving pins on nice pocket hits. Moved inside the 10 board but then started leaving splits. Moved in just a little more and started hitting light. Struggled all night then tried back outside and instantly left another 7 pin. 10th frame of game 3 grabbed my spare ball (Rhino) and threw 3 pocket strikes. Should have tried that ball earlier.

    Game 1: 186 (6 strikes, 1 spare, 3 opens)

    Tough night all around. Started out horrible in warm-ups and never got better. Tried all 4 balls inside and outside. No revs at all and struggled to find the pocket. Started with the Squatch both inside and out but the ball was just rolling. Had to get into the 15 board to get any skid. Changed to the BWG and same thing. Finally realized I wasn't opening my shoulders so started that near the end of game 1 and started getting some revs and hitting the pocket. Game 2 my line dried up so moved into the 10-12 board and was better but still not quite there. End of game 2 my thumb started hanging a little so switched back to the Squatch but the lanes were changing again and I struggled to figure it out.

    Lanes were tough. Other teams anchor left 7 splits in game 1 and rolled a 116 with a 180 average. I think their team had about 12-14 splits in game 1. Game 2 was our turn. We probably had 7 or 8 in game 2.

    Game 1: 180 (4 strikes, 6 spares, 2 opens)

    Game 2: 195 (6 strikes, 3 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    ugh. For some reason my balls are hooking way harder than usual. I did change a couple small things and do seem to be getting more revs but geeez. Tonight I tried all 4 balls and anywhere from the 7 board to the 12-13 board at the arrows. Tried speeds from 14.9 to 16.5. Still hooking way too much. Used the Conspiracy in game 1 then the Squatch in game 2. Started game 3 with the Black Widow Gold but them switched to the Rhino that barely hooks in the middle of game 3. Started with a 4 bagger with that ball and was finally able to hit the pocket. 7 splits tonight. Has to be a new record for me.

    Game 1: 139 (2 strikes, 3 spares, 5 opens-3 splits)

    Well not a good night for scores but overall I was happy with the outcome. Lately my ball has been coming in way too high no matter what ball I tried. Tonight I tried something outside my comfort zone and stuck with it all night. For the most part I had a good night except my spare shooting. I also struggled in game 2 but figured that out. Used the Conspiracy all night except the first 7 or 8 frames of game 2 then switched back to it. The problem wasn't the Squatch but what I started doing. After switching back I realized what I was doing wrong. We also bowled the 1st place team and took 2 out of 3. At one point we threw 13 in a row as a team.

    Chopped 4 spares tonight. That really hurt.

    Game 1: 208 (6 strikes, 2 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Started off decent but fell off bad. To be fair most of us on our pair struggled late in the night. We had 5 lefties on our pair with 3 of us being higher revvers. Lanes didn't break down bad but I did start leaving 7 pins in game 3. Tried adjusting but my aim was getting worse. Towards the end of game 2 my speed crept up and it hurt my accuracy. Used the Squatch almost all night except for game 3 when I was struggling and grasping at straws. On a positive note we bowled the highest average team in the league (they were spotting us 69 pins a game). We lost game 1 by 70 and won game 2 by 1 pin and won game 3 by 62 (lost total by 7) so went 4-3. The other team has a high rev lefty averaging about 210. He had 223, 207, and 143. In fact everyone on their team was below their average game 3.

    As for me, another struggle with spares. I think my problem is mental which affects my physical game. Need to figure this out and fix it since I used to be good at spares. Now I have no confidence even shooting at a 2 or 5 pin.

    Game 1: 185 (4 strikes, 4 spares, 2 opens)

    Awful. Probably the worst night I have had since I was probably 15 or so. Can't blame it on the ball or lanes. I don't think I hit the same spot twice all night. Tried 5 board all the way into the 15 board and tried all 3 balls. I was just that far off. First off today was my birthday and my day was really rough. Anyway, head just wasn't in it tonight.

    Much better night. Got my T-Zone plastic ball tonight and was 4/4 on 7 pins. Started out with the Squatch around the 10 board but the lanes were slick and we all had trouble getting the ball to turn. Moved out a little to the 7 board and found the pocket. Game 1 was clean. Game 2 started with 2 pocket splits in the first 3 frames with the 2nd frame a pocket 7. Started struggling hard with pocket 7's in game 3. Kept moving in but no luck. Finally moved back out to the 7 board and started striking.

    Spare shooting was really good tonight. Missed 2 easy spares in game 3 targeting the 3rd arrow and missing the pocket. 7 of my 17 strikes were in the10th frame.

    Game 1: 225c (7 strikes, 4 spares, no opens)
