    Much better night. Before last week I hadn't had a 600 in about 6 or 7 weeks. Re-surfaced my Zen Soul down to 2000 and went back to basics with my release and rolled 613 last week then tonight bowled a 652 on my worst pair. I was averaging 185 on this pair before tonight. Our whole team bowled decent. 4 of the 5 had 600's and the 565 was a guy with a 188 average so he was right there. We bowled 3196 scratch so decent night and won all 3 games. Tied for 2nd place now.

    Back to the struggle. This was my 2nd worst pair behind the pair we were on last week. Tried the Zen Soul and the Helios. I was close to the pocket all night but had a very tight line with no miss room. Tried moving in and moving out. Spare shooting was pretty good tonight but couldn't strike at all. My 4 teammates are all 2 handed righties and I'm a 1 handed lefty. We were pretty strong first game except me and we won that game. The other team only had 3 games of 15 that were below there average. We had 9 of 15 below our average. Hard to win games like that. I think next time we bowl on that pair I will try my Raw Hammer pearl up the 5 board. Couldn't throw that line with the ZS or Helios as it would go Brooklyn. I tried moving right and throwing it out to the 5 board and that would work if it was perfect.

    Really thinking of buying a Roto Grip TNT but thinking 900G will be coming out with a new ball soon so will likely hold off. Only about 3 weeks left in winter league and don't think I'm bowling summer league.

    Well after winning that tournament the other day I had high expectations for league tonight. Lanes were a little tough tonight. Used the Zen Soul again all night. We bowled one of the top teams and there were no 700's. Pretty rare for those guys. Heard a few complaints about dry lanes but I didn't think they were that bad. But we had 3 lefties with 1 a very high revver. Game 1 I struck every shot in left lane but not at all in right lane. Game 2 made adjustment in right lane. Game 3 just couldn't strike. Mostly me not being consistent but was able to keep it clean in game 3.

    4/5 on 7 pins. Last week was 5/6. Saturday night was 5/5 and Sunday tournament was 6/8 so good there. Lost 2 of 3 games.

    Game 1: 176 (6 strikes, 3 spares, 2 opens)

    Game 2: 230 (7 strikes, 3 spares, 1 split-1 open)

    Game 3: 201c (3 strikes, 7 spares, 0 opens)

    Decent night. I say decent cause although scores and series was good I struggled with transition again. As usual started with the Zen Soul but game 3 started to struggle but took a few frames to make sure it wasn't just bad shots. Then made a move in a little and tugged it for a 4-7-10. Almost covered it. 4 just missed the 10. Switched to my Brunswick Igniter and struck out with it for a 205. I had 75 in the 5th frame. First game had a nice line for a 216. 2nd game 7 pinned in 1st frame then struck the next 10 or so for a 276. Teammate threw a 277...lol. But I had a 697 to his 692 so got him in the end...lol. We won the first 2 by quite a bit but game 3 the other team had a 200 guy roll 285 and a 170 guy threw 235. We were right on our average (1016 average and rolled 1015).

    Game 1: 216 (5 strikes, 5 spares, 1 open)

    Game 2: 276 (9 strikes, 1 spare, 1 open)

    Game 3: 205 (7 strikes, 3 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Rough night. Started out great but transition bit me fast. We had 2 other lefties on the other team and 1 is over 400 RPM. Started with the Zen Soul up the 5 board. Started game 1 with strikes in 6 of the first 7 frames then chopped 6-10 in the 9th then 4-6-10 split in the 10th for a 215. 2nd game started with the ZS and then tried moving in before trying the Brunswick Igniter. Kept leaving 7 pins with it so near the end of 2nd game went back to the Zen Soul and moved in. Took me way too long to get it but I had too many opens in 3rd game.
    Team we bowled was on fire. They had 671, 670, 668, 647 and 640. We won the first game but got smoked the next 2.

    Game 1: 215 (6 strikes, 2 spares, 2 opens-1 split)

    Game 2: 170 (2 strikes, 5 spares, 3 opens-1 split)

    Game 3: 197 (7 strikes, 1 spare, 3 opens-2 splits)

    So league is over except our end of year tournament next week. Our season was broken into 3rds. First 3rd we finished in a 4 way tie for 4th. Second 3rd we finished last. This 3rd we finished in 4th by ourselves. Sad considering we had the 3rd highest scratch pin count in the league (10 teams). We were 7th with handicap.

    I finished at 197.66 with 96 games (18,976 pins). I struggled the whole month of February and only averaged about 185 those 15 games. I have a spreadsheet and took those out and my average would have been 200.16. Oh well. My goal was a 200 average. I'll get it next year.

    So my stats. High game was 290 but that was in the state Sr's tournament. High league game was 287. High series was state tournament 733. League high was 722. Also in league had 276 and in tournaments had a 279. Won my first ever tournament and qualified 2nd in another tournament but got knocked out in the first round.

    League only:
    Average: 197.67
    12 clean games
    First ball average 9.06
    Strikes: 50%
    Spares: 61%
    Single pin spares: 73%
    7 pins: 56%
    Average with all makeable spares: 204.80

    With tournaments included
    Average: 199.67
    15 clean games
    First ball average: 9.08
    Strikes: 51%
    Spares: 60%
    Single pin spares: 73%
    7 pins: 57%
    Average with makeable spares: 206.58

    However....since March 1st I seemed to have found something so lets check those stats (includes tournament I won)
    Average: 209.26
    27 games
    5 clean games
    First ball average: 9.20
    Strikes: 55%
    Spares: 65%
    Single pin spares: 81%
    7 pins: 70%

    End of season tournament tonight. We finished 9th of 10 teams. Approaches were so tacky. They are synthetic so that doesn't help. In warm-ups guy in the lane next to us fell on his face from sticking. I tweaked my back from sticking. It was pretty good by the 6th or 7th frame. I struggled all around. Lanes were dry so that didn't help. Spare shooting was horrible. Used the Zen Soul until about 6th frame of game 3 then switched to the Brunswick Igniter. Summer league starts in 2 weeks.

    Game 1: 191 (3 strikes, 6 spares, 1 open)

    Game 2: 209 (8 strikes, 1 spare, 3 opens-1 split)

    Game 3: 135 (2 strikes, 3 spares, 5 opens-3 splits)

    Series: 535

    Average: 178.33

    ugh - sticky approaches are my nightmare, with my left knee replacement. Scares the poop outta me.
