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.
