    So our team was on fire tonight. Our averages are 192, 170, 179, 202 and 195 for the 5 we had there tonight. Game 1 we rolled 1062 scratch and still lost by 17. We won the next 2 by a bunch, rolling 1104 and 960 scratch. We finally had a good night as a team. My spare shooting still sucked but I was able to roll 686.

    Tough night. Lanes were very dry. I went in early and threw 2 games only throwing at the 4, 6, 7 and 10 pins with my spare ball. Definitely helped. Last week me and our leadoff bowler did great but tonight both of us struggled and 3 others bowled great. We won the 1st game by alot but lost game 2 by 9 and game 3 by about 70 but were able to take total pins so went 3 out of 7 points tonight.

    The spare practice helped. I had pretty much been 'winging' it before. I used to have a system that I used but kind of forgot it over time so tonight I went back and got that figured out again. Was 3/4 tonight on 7 pins. Didn't leave any 10 pins. In fact only left 1 4 pin, 1 6 pin and 4 7 pins. Made all except 1 7 pin. For my multi pin spares I made all but 1 except for my splits. They were (2) 4-7's, (2) 2-4-7's, a 2-4, a 3-5, a 6-10 and made all of those. The only multi-pin spare I missed was the first frame of game 1 when I dropped my first ball in the gutter and left the 2-4-7 on my spare attempt. Happy with that.

    Now if we get 'normal' lane conditions next week I'm hoping for a good night. Really would have liked to have had another ball to ball down to tonight.

    Very similar tonight. Whole team struggled. Spare shooting was tough again but might be because I was worn out. Had to throw with quite a bit of speed to keep the ball on the left side of the lane. The 2 hander on my team struggled with it too. He ordered a Radical Counter Attack tonight so hopefully that fixes his issues. A guy on the other team rolled an 803 tonight (247, 277, 279 with a 215 average). Another guy on their team rolled 681 with a 215 average and a 3rd rolled a 658 with a 218 average. Yeah that team is loaded. The other 2 guys on their team struggled though. We had 4 lefties with 2 of us being higher rev rates (me and the 803 guy). Our high series was 576 (2 guys both rolled 576). They are 193 and 213 averages (the 213 average is the 2 hander that struggled with dry lanes). I rolled a 547 but started the night with 3 splits in the first 4 frames to start the night and 5 opens to start off and 4 splits in the game. Finished with a 160 after a horrible start. Tried playing inside a little to get to the oil. Gave up on that after the 5th frame and moved back outside but moved up about 4" on the approach and added speed. Normally I'm about 15.5-16.0 but tonight was about 16.8-17.3. Used the Igniter all night which is my weakest ball. Talked to the PSO tonight about drilling up a Hammer Raw pearl for me. He agreed that should help and thought it was a good idea. Told him I'd let him know. The last 2 weeks the lanes have been like this. Tonight I went in early and practiced working inside between the 15 and 20 boards and was pretty inconsistent. Had to hit right on my mark or came up light and went through the nose. Bowled 2 games trying to get it but no luck. So lost all 3 games tonight so pretty sure we are in last place again.

    So-so night. On a good note we bowled one of the better teams and won 2/3. On a bad note I struck good most of the night but my scores weren't great. First game ball jumped straight to the pocket. 2nd game didn't change anything but started leaving 7's like crazy and I started coming in a little light. Tried slowing my speed down a little but no change. Grabbed my new Raw Hammer pearl just to try it even though the lanes weren't dried up but no luck there. Tried moving my line in but wasn't having much luck there either. Was hitting the pocket but getting 8 and 9 counts. Went back to the Igniter and moved back outside and started striking again. Thinking maybe my speed crept up without me realizing it. 212, 189, 202 (603)
