That's very interesting, guys. I'll try to pay more attention to my starting and stopping position this weekend, and see what happens if I get to a couple inches of the foul line. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Much better night. Really didn't feel like going and if I had a fill-in I probably wouldn't have went. Started with the Uppercut and tried focusing on where my ball dropped off the deck. Lanes were a little dry so added some speed. Right lane was a little drier than left so I was a little further inside on that lane. My accuracy wasn't great but I had some miss room with my lines and was getting great carry. Game 2 my accuracy got a little worse and struggled to strike. Luckily I kept it clean the first 2 games. Game 3 started with 2 strikes then missed a 6 pin after tugging it then next frame missed a 7 pin to the inside. Those were my only 2 opens all night. After that I switched to the Igniter and slowed my speed back down a little. First frame with it I stayed on my same line but the ball went pretty straight and deflected but still struck. After that I moved back outside to about the 7 board to increase my angle. Strung together 7 in a row until the 12th frame left a 2-7 baby split. I focused on watching the ball drop off the deck and when I saw it start drifting left too far I made an adjustment or ball change. Pretty happy with how it went. Real happy with my spare shooting other than those 2 opens. Rolled a 691. That is my 2nd highest ever behind my 725 a few months ago.
We had some high scores on our pair tonight so not getting too hyped with my scores.
Our team:
me 190 average rolled 691
teammate 185 average rolled a 635
other team
186 average rolled a 668
197 average rolled a 682
188 average rolled a 620
We won the first game but lost the next 2. We beat our average every game but the other team smoked their averages the 2nd and 3rd games. They beat their averages by about 100 each of those 2 games.
I had high series on our pair so happy with that.
Had 61% strikes (21/34) and 83% spares (6/6 multiple pin and 4/6 single pin).
Rolled 245, 202, 244
On another note a guy threw his first ever 300 tonight.
