    Will try that but tough in summer leagues. Only 2-man teams so its rapid fire and can't practice beforehand. but definitely something to look into

    So guy beside me last week rolled a 300. Tonight he was beside me again and another 300. His teammate rolled a 265 for a 565 set. I picked up my new Zen Soul tonight and used it all 4 games for 209, 182, 268c and 234c. Game 3 had the front 8 before leaving 2 7 pins in a row then 2nd frame of game 4 I covered the 2-7-8. Not how I was trying but missed it inside bad and kicked the 2 off the side wall hitting the 7 pin and knocking it into the 8...lol. I'll take it. Had an 893 tonight.

    Something else I changed last night that I keep forgetting about...I have a pair of Storm shoes with interchangeable soles. I had an S8 on it and it stuck too bad. Tried an S10 and it was like ice. Tried an S9 and still a little too slick. Never thought about changing the heel since I'm not much of a slider anyway but a fellow bowler mentioned it last night so I tried the S8 with the slickest heel I had and it felt really good. Balance was still off but not hopping as bad as I usually do but hard to say if that was the shoes or just that my timing was much better last night. Either way the shoes felt good. I have a cheap pair of Dexters ($60) and have been using them for the past 2 years. The Storms were about $200 but wasn't a fan of them until last night

    Yeah - my F-in-law had been having issues with his decades old Linds. He loved those things and resisted changing until I bought him a pair of Dexters - low end, not interchangeable or anything, just good shoes - his balance became stable and his scores jumped. Amazing how that works! LOL

    JR Raymond did a video about 6 months ago talking about shoes. Said he didn't realize it but his new shoes were causing his issues. To be fair here (I like JR) but it seems every few weeks he puts out a new video as to why he has been bowling bad and it's something different every time but it did shed some light on the whole shoe thing for me. I tried the Storms again a few months ago and threw 2 practice shots and put the Dexters back on but that heel swap made them feel like a different pair
