Struggled tonight. Think I needed a different ball but didn't have it with me. We bowled against a lefty no thumb 1 hander that was throwing a t-zone all night. Used my Zen Soul and struggled. Tried the Helios 2 frames in the middle of game 2 but split both shots so went back to the ZS.
Had an all new team consisting of me (197 avg), my son (132 avg), step-son (130 avg), a girl my step-son is friends with (149 avg) and a teammate from last year (195 avg). Series were, in order mentioned above, 583, 377, 475, 327, and 586. On a positive note I was 100% on single pin spares, including 2/2 on 7 pins. Just couldn't strike.
Game 1: 185 (5 strikes, 5 spares, 1 open)
Game 2: 165 (3 strikes, 4 spares, 3 opens-3 splits)
Game 3: 233 (8 strikes, 2 spares, 1 open)
Series: 583
Average: 194.33
Running average: 194.33
Last seasons average: 197.66
First ball average: 9.15
Strikes: 48% (16/33)
Spares: 68% (11/16)
Single pin spares: 100% (10/10)
Splits: 0% (0/3)

Not 'bad' though. 100% on single-pins. The score a bit lowered by the open in the 10th. A strong 233 game to finish. Sounds like you just struggled to find that line/ball combination until late. It happens.
Looking at the stats, and comparing them to my average night, I think the biggest difference is that first ball average. Over 9 is what I used to be able to acheive when I was averaging in the upper 180s to mid-190s. Indicitive of you generally hitting the pocket every time. As my form is 'still returning', I'm still making some horrible shots that miss the pocket (or headpin) completely...lowering that first-ball average into the 8.5 range. It doesn't 'sound' like a big difference (9.1 vs 8.5), but in reality (in terms of scoring); it's a killer.

Another rough night. Lanes were jacked. Looked up and down and saw splits everywhere on all pairs. Started with the Zen Soul and tried the Helios to blend it out. Tried throwing from the 5 board to the 15 board and couldn't find anything. Was clean in game 1 until the 10th. Only threw 10 strikes all night. 3 in the first game and only 1 in the second game. Opponents have 3 200+ average bowlers and those 3 were 551, 605 and 615. Those last 2 have 215 averages. On the bright side we went 5-2.
Game 1: 181 (3 strikes, 6 spares, 1 open-1 split)
Game 2: 146 (1 strike, 5 spares, 4 opens)
Game 3: 214 (6 strikes, 3 spares, 1 open)

Strikes: 32% (10/31)
