Better tonight. Got the new plastic ball tonight. 4/4 on 7 pins. Spare shooting was very good tonight with the exception of a few shots. Most of these were with my strike ball so can't give all the credit to the plastic but more to my accuracy. Felt much better tonight too. Last week just felt awkward. Had trouble with the ball return twice before the end of the 1st frame so they moved us. New lanes were much slicker but it was the same for both teams. I started struggling with pocket 7's, a pocket 4-6 and a pocket 7-9. Tried ball changes and moving in to the oil but no help. Finally moved out to the 7 board with a little more speed and took care of that. Teammates really struggled with 10 pins. No exaggeration I'm guessing they left about 30 or so between the 4 of them. They were really frustrated. Game 2 we had 9 splits on our team. We lost all 3 games. We bowled our average as a team the last 2 games and not far off the first game but the other team was 80 over their average every game.
So glad my spare shooting improved. It has been really bad lately. Kind of odd that I had 17 strikes and 70% spares but only had a 589.
Hopefully I can improve on this next week. If I could have figured out those pocket 7's I would have been much better
EDIT: This week I was high man on my team at 589 (562, 526, 482, 568). Last week I was the lowest by a bunch.
