    Funny how you can have such a good night but not feel great about it...lol. Threw the Altered Reality all 3 games. Game 1 started out great but by the 4th frame I lost it. Took until the 10th or so to figure it out. After that I was striking good but missed a couple of spares that I shouldn't have. On another note teammates bowled good and we won all 3 games. My son picked up his new ball today but wasn't ready until after we were done so he didn't get a chance to throw it. But he got the Alert after going to demo day Saturday and liking it.
    As for me, felt pretty good tonight. My best night of the year as far as score and series. My first 700 of the year and my 5th ever so I'll take that but even with a 700 I had no clean games.

    I totally understand. My parents always want to see my scores so I share them from Pinpal via text after bowling. And, there are many, many, many nights where I'll bowl above my average but state that the night was okay, or meh, or blah, or not great, etc...

    Got another good night. First time I have had back to back 700's and only my 6th 700 ever. My highest is 733. Tonight had a 731 with 1 open. Unfortunately we lost 2 of 3 games...lol. We were on the end pair tonight and I threw the Altered Reality all night. Lanes were a little dry so I had to move in just a little. I had moved in a little as the night went on but game 3 I started struggling. About the 8th frame I went back to my original line and finished off striking. I'm looking for a replacement for the AR. It has about 65 games on it but I don't want to wait until it dies to look for a new one.

    Game 1: 247c (9 strikes, 3 spares-1 split)

    Game 2: 257c (8 strikes, 3 spares)

    Game 3: 227 (8 strikes, 3 spares, 1 open)

    Series: 731

    Average: 243.67

    Running average: 200.29

    Last seasons average: 202.61

    First ball average: 9.46

    Strikes: 71% (25/35)

    Spares: 90% (9/10)

    Single pin spares: 83% (5/6)

    Splits: 100% (1/1)

    7 pins: 100% (3/3)

    7 pins season: 68.88% (62/90)
