yeah Sk keep it up. I had a turn for the better tonight, first game 171 3 opens 1 makeable. 2nd game 191 makeable open in the 9th.
Finally a clean 215 to finish. I read a post on here about watching your ball leave the deck to know when to adjust or change equipment. Thats exactly what I did and when I seen it moving to far left off the deck I adjusted I had more pocket shots tonight then I have had in awhile just get my head out of my butt on those spares and I will be golden.

Bowled on the league that I occasionally help for Mondays tonight. Good solid night overall. 268 265 210 for a 743 series. 2nd clean series in the past 2 days... so I will take it fer sure.
First two games each had a sloppy strike that kept me going. Last game had two wobbly 7 pins in the 2nd and 4th frames spoil a very good start. But no complaints.
Cheers to the board.

Nice bowling. Don't let that last game bother you. Its hard to concentrate when you are pushing towards a milestone in bowling. Next time you will be more prepared and will have a better mental outlook as you have "been" there before.

246,184,201. Good the first game, lost it in transition the second game. 3rd game had 3 opens all the same leave, 1,2,4,10 all the rest were strikes. Thats what happens I guess when I'm trying to hit light and miss my mark Next time I'll just stick with hitting heavy.

Had one of those nights where I rolled well, but didn't score high. 210-190-198. Just couldn't put a string together. There was always an 8-pin or a 9-pin stopping me. It was shocking to watch my ball rev up and turn, smack the pocket, to leave the 9.
Happened more then I want to remember. But, rather have 9's then 10's. I can pick them up. Only 1 open of a makable spare all night. Left the 9 on a 3-6-9-10.

Forgot to mention this earlier. So we had another guy shoot 300 last night. This one had a little drama involded. Guy shoots first ten, shoots the 11th and the foul light goes off. Did he foul or didn't he? Guy 2 lanes over comes over and says no he didn't I was watching, says "he wasn't even close?" Why would you be watching his feet?(is my question. So anyway, they allow his 11th to stand. Not to have any more pressure on him. He gets the 12th. Yahoo! Anyway, I watched his feet in the 12th ball, pretty [censored] close to the line if you ask me. 12th ball looked like he was less than one inch away. I was bowling next to him. Just curious anyone elses thoughts? Should it have been aloud.

Tough to give an opinion not being there. Two weeks ago in league a mid average bowler who plants instead of slides plants at line and does his little off balance hop which is to the right and back a bit. He was at no point within six inches of the line. Light went off, I allowed them to change it to a strike which is what he threw and even vouched that he didn't seem anywhere near it. I wouldn't have vouched if he was at any point within a few inches of the line. Like you said it is hard to tell when you aren't that close to it, in this guy at my leagues case no chance he fouled he NEVER gets within six inches of the line. In your case if his foot was that close, sounds like someone just wanted to see a 300 and didn't want it to be ruined with a foul. Unless you were sure he did foul and saw it you couldn't really say otherwise I guess. I have never had it go off on me without me fouling. That said anything mechanical can malfunction.
