    Wasn't in it tonight mentally and just didn't feel like being there. That said, lanes were tough. I rolled 578 and felt that was an accomplishment. High series on my team was 579 and high between the 2 teams (10 of us) was 593 and 6 of us 10 are at least a 200 average.
    Game 3 I finally got my timing in sync but left a big 4 and missed a 7 pin.
    Lost 2 of 3 games after losing all 3 last week and we are one of the higher average teams in the league.

    Game 1: 186 (4 strikes, 5 spares, 1 open)

    Game 2: 185 (5 strikes, 4 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    odd night. I felt good mentally and physically and bowling on my favorite pair. What was odd was everyone was struggling to keep it on the right side of the pocket yet my ball came back with more oil that I usually ever see. Even my Raw Hammer pearl was hooking through the nose. Will ask more in a new post. Aside from that couldn't make spares either. We lost all 3 again.

    Probably the ugliest 650 I have ever bowled. Missed way too many spares and strikes seemed hard to come by. Had to be very precise to strike. Any other night would have easily been a 700. Used the Zen Soul all 3 games. Another horrible 7 pin night...0/3. Was 1/5 last week. Need to figure that out. We have had a horrible 3 or 4 weeks. Think we have went 0-7 the last 3 or 4 weeks. We were in last and bowled the first place team tonight. Won all 3 so that was nice.

    Those missed 7 pins only cost you 23 pins since two of them were on tenth frame fills. The 6 pin whiff was an 8 pin deficit and the miss of the 2-4-8 the next frame cost you another 8.
    I wish I had an answer on the seven pins. Among the kids I coach some of them will look great shooting corner pins and the suddenly start missing them by a mile.

    yeah i had been at about 80% on 7 pins but last week was 1/5 and last night 0/3. I keep missing inside. Missing my mark at the arrows too. Thinking it's a confidence thing. Possibly mechanics. Granddaughter has a birthday party there Friday night and my focus will be playing more inside, which is a weakness of mine, and picking up my corner pins

    So I just suck. Lane were tough but I should have been able to make something work. If I got outside the 2nd arrow it would go through the nose. Inside the 2nd arrow and slide straight. Tried the Zen Soul and Helios up to the 15 board. Couldn't find anything that worked. Add to that I was tugging about every 4th or 5th shot nd you get a lousy night. The other team was on fire and bowled way over their average, which is a typical night for us.

    Gotta be honest, I have considered quitting. Last week my scores were horrible. For the past month we have only won 2 or 3 games out of about the last 15. Last week the team we bowled had the highest handicap game and series. Happens to us EVERY week. No different tonight. First game the other team bowled was 40 over their average. 2nd game they were 60 over their average. First game we were 60 below our average but 2nd and 3rd we were over our average and still lost 2 of 3. We have the 2nd highest handicap total in our league yet we are in last place. Just getting tired of losing and with me struggling it just isn't fun anymore.

    Tonight we had 6 of us there. The approaches felt like they had tar on them. We were all sticking. Heard other teams complaining about it too. I bowled 139 the first game with only 1 strike. Was in the pocket almost every shot. Sat out the last 2 games as there were 6 of us and I just wasn't into it and really didn't care how I did at that point.

    Game 1: 139

    Games 2 and 3: sat out

    It's crap when a house gets like this. Ours seems to be cleaning their act up, and the lanes have gotten better over the past few weeks. A ball change may have helped that....

    So tonight was extremely dry. Started out with the Zen Soul and the first few frames of warmups I could keep it on my side of the lane. That ended quick. Left 5 splits in a row. Tried a few adjustments with speed, moved right. Moved my target. Moved in further but struggled to get the ball back. Game 2 stayed inside with the Zen but still inconsistent. Switched to the Helios in game 3 but struggled at the start then made an adjustment that worked and finished with the last 8 or so. Adjustment was to move in to the 25 board and target the 10 board at the arrows. Normally I stand about 20 and target 10. Very unusual for me to move that far right. The Helios is the only ball I can do that with. None of the others will come back from there. Helios is drilled 90 x 2.25 x 45 so very short pin. Still missed too many easy spares too.

    We pretty much bowled our average every game but still lost all 3.

    Game 1: 155 (3 strikes, 4spares, 4 opens-5 splits)

    Game 2: 182 (4 strikes, 4 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Game 3: 246 (9 strikes, 2 spares, 1 open)

    Series: 583

    Average: 194.33

    Running average: 197.70

    Last seasons average: 196.35

    First ball average: 8.88

    Strikes: 48% (16/33)

    Spares: 58% (10/17)

    Single pin spares: 80% (4/5)

    Splits: 16% (1/6)



    Again, we lost all 3 games. There is a 215 average lefty on the other team that was struggling too but he rolled a 670 but said he had a very tight line. Not sure how he ended with a 670 as I saw him struggle quite a bit.
