I bowled on Scorpion Wed Nite on the Doubles league. we were in a 3-way tie for first and bowled the Pro Shop team tied with us for first. we win all 8 points. the other team tied with us won all 8 points so, 2-way tie for first and guess who we play next week? a good week next week and we get to move out on the rest of the teams. they have a Kegel UT100? machine. for some reason it doesn't buff the gutters (i found out from lane man), so you get a Scorpion/Shark combo. the back ends were crispy at first and if you slowed the ball down to about 13.5mph. I was in the 13.25-14mpg range and found 3 boards i could hit and get it there. Pocket percentage was about 80% but carry went down as the lanes dried out a bit.
i had trouble keeping it from leaving 7's and 4 pins - one of which i needed to make to win the last game. I barely broke 600 with a 605 but it was high in the league. my 216 was high game of the night. saw a lot of 4 and 500-something sets after the league was finished. i was executing well and hitting my mark with a few exceptions in lapses of concentration.
looking back (which is why i'm not elite level), i should have tried to speed it up - but, my timing was very good and i didnt have a lot of room for errors with the over/under which was less for me than the rest of them with my Quantum hard/flip ball.
my solution to bring it back was either spot a foot or two deeper or adjust hand position to slightly clockwise until i found carry again. get to try it again next week and hopefully it will work.
