    Default dont you hate those nights??

    shoot 268 first game . then spend the rest of the night going braindead about every 4th or 5th frame . tons of strikes but tons of bad shots too. at least we won 4 of 5 points.( 4 game league).

    been there bud,i too run into it. if i can get my head right ,my prob is i think is i worry about the wrong things in my game at the wrong time....then when i just try to let it go and rip it , i run into the same problems good thing is when my head catches up to my physical game.i'll be good to go,just seems the mental side of bowling is eluding me

    if strikes were plentiful concentrate on that,the rest will follow

    The thing is to practice to the point where once you start in motion your body goes on autopilot. All thinking should be done before you step on the lane. Needless to say, this is much easier said than done.

    yeah had one of those last night
    could not string any strikes together shot 569
    it was a battle all night i made 12 of 13 spares though and was 9 for 9 on single pin spares
    but three splits and my inablity to throw a double was what did me in

    it's okay there is another three games next wednesday

    Had the exact same thing happen this week. First game shoot the first 3, 9 spare, 9 spare, strike out (268). Next game shoot the first 2, then 9 spare, 9 spare, then 4...yes 4 open frames in a row. Two were single pin spares. Shoot a 150 in game 2. Rebound for a 199 in the third game. I was really hoping for that elusive 700 series for myself, but it just wasnt meant to be. Very disappointing
