    So-so night. Lanes were very wet. The Squatch at the 10 board wouldn't make the turn. Tried the Conspiracy at the 10 board and it was good for awhile but started losing carry. Switched back to the Squatch and moved out to the 7 board to get away from the oil. That worked for awhile but then my speed started climbing and I had trouble slowing it back down. Spare shooting wasn't that good. Tried the T-Zone on a few other spares besides the 7 pin and did pretty well with it. Missed the 4 pin twice using my strike ball. Going to keep working on using the T-Zone for almost all spares.

    Also left a pocket 5-7-10 and a couple frames later came in a little high and left a 6-8-10

    Well....not so good. Hit the pocket every shot in warmups. Started game 1 with a 4-7-10 split. Next 3 were strikes then a spare. Had 106 in the 5th frame. Finished with a 167. And got worse from there. I struggled hitting my mark the rest of the night any time I was inside the 9 or 10 board. But outside that and my stuff was hooking too much. Left 3 4-7-10's tonight. 2 were in the first frames on games 1 and 2. Funny thing...before we started game 3 I joked that I had better not start that game with a 4-7-10. Well I didn't. Started it with a 6-7-10.

    Game 1: 167 (3 strikes, 2 spares, 4 opens-2 splits)

    Game 2: 169 (4 strikes, 4 spares, 3 opens-1 split)

    Yeah. Funny thing is there were 3 or 4 gutters thrown that night on the first ball. I know for sure 2 on our team and a 210 average bowler on the other team dropped one in the gutter on his first ball. And we were all 3 lefties

    Better tonight. Went back to basics and simplified everything. Used the Squatch the first 2 games targeting the 7 board but started losing that line early in game 3. Tried moving in a little but then started leaving 7 pins so switched to the Black Widow Gold back out at the 7 board. Still coming in high so moved in but started struggling to hit my target. Ended up decent overall.

    Game 1: 199 (5 strikes, 3 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Game 2: 214 (6 strikes, 3 spares, 1 open)

    Game 3: 180 (4 strikes, 4 spares, 3 opens)

    Started out good but really struggled with the transition. Used the Squatch pearl the first 2 games and started both games with 5 baggers. Game 1 I opened the next 3 frames. Game 2 was clean but I was still frustrated that I didn't do better even though I had a 254. Game 3 I just couldn't get it. Hit the pocket but no carry. Changed to the Black Widow Gold with no better results. Moved in to the 10 board and first ball took out the 10 pin (lefty). I struggle with tugging my shots if I move in. Ended with a 148. Really need to figure out game 3. Having this problem about every week now.

    Game 1: 208 (7 strikes, 1 spare, 3 opens)

    Game 2: 254c (9 strikes, 2 spares)

    Game 3: 148 (2 strikes, 5 spares, 3 opens-2 splits)

    Average: 203.33

    Running average: 185.38

    First ball average: 8.79

    Strikes: 54% (18/33)

    Spares: 57% (8/14)

    Single pin spares: 33% (1/3)

    Splits: 0% (0/2)
