    Default I joined the 300 club!

    I went in to tonight thinking, let's try going straighter instead of swinging it like I've been doing. OK, line up on middle dot, which puts my right arm on 13 I think? Aim at 10, so swing just a touch out and hook at about 8. Minor adjustment (1 left with my feet) during practice but it was THERE.

    First game was 214 - should have been much more but I washed out in the 9th and left it open. My fault - I messed (missed? LOL) at LEAST 4 or 5 right. Went right out to the edge and came back way light. Bleck - but struck out for 214.

    Second game started crushingly. It continued crushingly. Front 8 . . . After that I started wandering around. My wife looked around to figure where I was and then noticed I had the front 8 and said, "oh S . . ." LOL Some friends started distracting me which was nice. 9th was tense for me for some reason but still high flush. Went up for the 10th couple of breaths and it just crushed. 11th, my wife couldn't look. LOL - still high flush. 12th, I let out 2-3 boards right and yelled at it to "come back you S-O-B" and it did . . .

    My first.

    Third game was ok. Kept up with the line but my ball was coming back really dirty - like rubbery on it, and it was affecting how the ball was rolling. Like it was grabbing a TON more. . . meh. Moved parallel 2 and 2 and that was OK for a few but then had to move 5x5 to get back - and threw a 2-4-10 in the 10th (left the 10) for a 204. OK.

    718 series.

    Congrats! Loved having you describe your wife’s reactions.

    I think a screenshot has to be uploaded to some sort of site where it can be shared and then a link goes in your post.
