Me vs MICHAEL

[billf]

Once again, new and improved. If you're so on target, why the surface questions? A smart bowler would just use his automatic 700 Marauder lmao

[JaMau24]

Yes, I agree.

I know,,, Wild Bill,,, you and me are not that un-alike!! We both like the smell of a new ball! This has been a learning thing for me! The more I bowl, and learn form wise guys like you,,,,lol,,,, the better bowler, and man I become! Wild Bill, I think I found something out with the maurader! To get GREAT SCORES you don't need the top end bigggggggessst hook ball that's out there! What you need, is the ball that suits your style of bowling! I know several guys, that have purchased the Nightmare,,,, James the driller at AMF Northland had a 177 in league last night throwing it. He has a 230 averge on one league! I know someone else thats having poor scores with this ball! It seems to be very unpredictable,,, some games ok,,, some poor? Just something I have noticed from two different bowlers.. I could be wrong,,, what do I know?
I only bowl 700 games a few times a week!!! LOL

People have bad days with any ball. The Nightmare is great. I love it. I just don't like the way I'm bowling right now. I'm the problem. I know once I start bowling well again, it will be my favorite ball.

Tonight we bowl.

[MICHAEL]

WAHAT???? Did you think I was talking about YOU!! NO WAY! I was writing about James, and another guy that bowls on Tuesdays! Neither one seems to be able to bowl well with the NIGHTMARE!
I hope it all works out for you tonight!! Maybe tonight he will get back on track!! Even the BEST of us have our UP”S,,, and downs!!

[billf]

Mike, many bowlers use a ball that is just too much for them and/or the lanes. On top of Jason's slump I also believe the Nightmare is too much for a house shot given his rev rate, rotation and speed. Plus when he said he can force it out that sent off a red flag to me. I was forcing the Terror out too and as soon as I balled down the scores started going back up.

[JaMau24]

Well we gave away 300 pins in handicap tonight lol. We won 3 and lost 1. Started with the Vivid tonight, and crushed the pocket the first 8 frames, only to get bad carry. Left a flat 8 pin in the 2nd, a flush 9 pin in the 6th, and 10 pin in the 8th. Then the wheels came off. Threw a 1,2,10 the next shot, opened. Struck the first ball in the 10th, then left a 1,2,4,6,10. So a game that I could of had the front 8, turned out to be a 202. Game 2, started throwing it terrible the first few frames. I said screw it, and went to the Nightmare. The first three shots with it were awful. Left a split, then an 8 count and 7 count, but I stuck with it. Closed the game out with 4 strikes (194). Game 3, started with 5 strikes (9 in a row from the previous game), then went just a tick high and left a 4 pin. Struck all the way till the last ball in the 10th, and left a 2, 10. So I shot a 277 the last game and 673 overall.

It was an "OK" night for me, but I ended fantastic, and did it with the Nightmare. I hope this is a good start to breaking out of this slump. Practice time tomorrow! (and the 1st of 7 hair cut matches lol).
