Oh well, it was not my day to shine. Rolled 860's for the 4 game qualifier which earned just a smile and an invitation to come back next week. I needed at least one big game, but did not get it. The upside is that I am gradually getting used to including the downlane markers in my targeting. There were a few strikes where I could go check-check-check as the ball rolled exactly where I wanted it down the lane. In the meantime, I have been experimenting with rolling my hard rubber spare ball over the middle arrow for all my spare shots (except double wood) to take the pattern out of play. So far, it is working, and I went 30 clean for the last 3 games.
