Timmyb's scores

[boomer]

take a step back and look at what's going on in game 2. Were the 10's ringing or flat? I noticed this past week that I had to move back about 3" because I was starting to leave ring-10s. That's my usual ticket, there, and it kept me in it.

For me (your mileage may/will vary) I have been trying to recognize what's going on earlier.

No matter what, though, great series!

For the most part, smoked pocket hits. Couple f the 6 pins approached the speed of sound, and the ringing was heard in South Milwaukee. The 7-10 was a flat hit, though. I made no move from game 2 to 3, so the jury might be out a while on this one....

And the beat(ing) goes on--

236/216/257 = 709. Two opens on the night. A 6-7-10 split (richly deserved, but almost made) in game 1, and a whiffed 10 pin in game 3. Outside of that, just kept clicking all night. Had a run of 8 in game 3. Ever since I went to the "fast" 4K on the Summit, this thing has been golden, I'm going to take a little credit on this one, because if you miss with this ball, you'll pay for it. Just seems like I've settled into some kind of zone. Hopefully that's not the kiss of death, but I'm never going to look down on a 6 week run like this. Average up to 218.

Rough night.

182/202/256 = 640. Ball? Nope. House? Nope. All me? Hell yes. Could not get my timing straight the first 1.5 games. Felt like I was on someone else's legs, and it showed. All opens (4) were well-earned splits. I wasted was was really a great shot out there by just not hitting it. Finally got my act together in 3rd game, but damage done. Next time I should get more sleep. Average stays 218.

Must be something in the air this week. Here's summore un-stellar scores to report.

189/209/215 = 613. Never really got comfortable with my footwork, and my stumbling around wasn't what I needed to throw a consistent shot. Coupled with a lot of shifting around because EVERYONE on the other team bowled with plastic, and a good night was just not in view. Last game could have been much better, with every shot hitting, but 10's and ring 8's will hold you back. Average drops one to 217.

Tuesday scores. I believe 3 weeks straight qualifies as a slump, right?

210/197/195 = 602. Just a hot mess. Never got any kind of consistency going in my shot. Even running 5 in game 2 was destroyed by a pocket 7-10, and 2 missed 10 pins. 7 opens on the night. Crappy thing is that there's been a good shot out there all three weeks, and I just cannot hit it with any regularity. Average slinks down to 215.

Seems like every bowler, every season, goes through a 3-6 week slump at some point. Good to get it out of the way before the end of the season and there's standings implications.

Something like that . . . always feels longer

Plenty of implications. We started the night in 3rd, 4 points out of 1st. Ended the night in 5th. Next week is season split position round....

There were signs of life at Yee Old Classic Lanes last night. Still gotta lot of work to do.

204/211/247 = 662. Started the night after having prepped the ball with Tru-Cut polish, and found out pretty quickly there will be a learning curve (no pun intended). My "work" comes in the form of 4 opens on the night. 3 missed 10 pins, and a chopped 3-6-10 (got the 10 on that one). Pretty sure I've missed at least a dozen 10 pins over this 4 week nightmare I've been in, but I think I've finally located the hitch in my game--my brain. Average stays at 216.

Now, about the Tru-Cut. This was a whim buy based on recommendations from a couple other folks. I will attest that it works as advertised. The ball got down a little further tonight than I has seen in a while. Remember though, it is now definitely polished, and not the "fast 4K" I had been running. Ball held nice when i kept inside, but if i crept it out too much and hit the dry boards, it was hell-bent on the head pin. Remember that if you're going to try this product.
