Way to go RayRay. 605 on Scorpion is very good. I am aspiring to be a sport bowler by next summer so enjoying reading about your exploits as on the animal patterns. Same goes for you Joe, Rick, Shorty, and Nothumb. Some really good stuff in here, thank you all for sharing.
For me tonight on the mere house pattern I had 170+203+257=630. Just couldn't get lined up in practice and that hurt me in the first game. Thought I found the pocket about 3 frames in but left a couple of solid 7s and even a solid 10. Missed two single pins as well which didn't help. Finally pulled out my Misfit in the 8th frame and had my first strike and then another one in the 10th which got me on the right track.
Second game I continued to use the Misfit and had a mid-game 4-bagger, but two opens cost me a chance at a much higher score.
3rd game I started with a strike but then had a washout which I converted but had to change balls again. Ended up going back to the Sure Thing and moved in to find more oil. Worked out great for me, had a 5-bagger after that and after leaving (and converting) a 10 pin in the 8th struck in the 9th, 10th, and 11th, then left my only split of the night in the 12th, a 4,6 for the 257.
Still gotta work on being more consistent with my spare shooting but really happy how I bounced back after that tough first game.
