Last night's bowling, frame-by-frameFound out that my Hy-Road is still useful for down & in shots, but not carrying and missing the spares is still not going to cut it. The missed 10s were particularly frustrating, as I'd thought I'd found a way to cut the hook and the ball still went left. Result: 150-174-151=475 Average (66 games): 170 Average for last 9 games: 163 Next week's AVG+1 score: 549 Composite average (72 games): 172 Si had a clean 195-ish game second game, and, where that was my better game, we won it and hung on for total. All three games could have been won, really.

Last night's bowling, frame-by-frameVery inconsistent (moves would have the opposite effect) as well as being unfortunate (all of the stone 7s). This is probably part of a February slump I think I get into. Result: 160-156-171=487 Average (69 games): 170 Average for last 9 games: 162 Next week's AVG+1 score: 575 Composite average (75 games): 172 Si had a bad night for the first time in a while, so the team only won one (first game).

It's been a while since I posted on this thread. I've just been muddling through much of the last 2-3 months, but still likely averaging around 215-220 for that interval. It feels like it has been a battle to stay around my average. Shot 621 after starting with a solid 168 game. 10-15 was fried by the 2nd game, so I made a big jump inside and it was a great move. However, like clockwork my Vintage Danger Zone which first reacted great inside started to fade by the middle of the 3rd game. Our team took 5, we've been near the top all season. It looks like it will be a close battle for 1st.
Meanwhile, for the last two weeks our center has decided to have large group events with lots of kids right before our league. The parking lot has been a mess of people parked in fire lanes to load in their kids who apparently cannot walk to the car for whatever reason. There's rental shoes, house balls, and garbage left all over the place. Needless to say, the conditions of the lanes could also be better.

We pay extra in our league dues to have a pristine shot put on before our league. I think its only 2-bits per bowler. You might see if you can do that where you bowl. As for the garbage left by others, that something that needs to be taken up with management.

It's going to happen again on Friday next week. I wish we could arrange something like that for a fresh shot, but our center is starting to not like us league bowlers very much. They wouldn't have time to recondition the lanes anyway, these groups are getting done around 6:00 and we're supposed to start practice at 6:25.

My team got good news when Eric, who is on the Sunday night team I sub for, messaged me on Facebook asking if I had room on my Wednesday night team and asked if he could join us after I affirmed that fact. Eric carries a 213 average on Sunday night, so he became our new anchor bowler, with me moving to set-up. Last night's bowling, frame-by-frameOther than the splits and the washout in the third game, my night was pretty good. The real issue, however, was carrying my 7 pin, all but one of the solid variety. Result: 174-202-136=512 Average (72 games): 170 Average for last 9 games: 163 Next week's AVG+1 score: 576 Composite average (78 games): 172 Si was really the one who stole the show, with a second game 267 that was just one pin from a 300 game, and had a 604 total. Eric shot a slightly bigger 600, and even Steve got into the act with a 134 third game. Needless to say, team won all four.

Last night's bowling, frame-by-frameMulti-pin spares, particularly splits and washouts, doomed this night, with the prime example being the back-to-back 4-5-7s, which told me I could no longer swing it. I missed two single pins, but neither was a 10. Result: 169-138-166=473 Average (75 games): 169 Average for last 9 games: 163 Next week's AVG+1 score: 538 Composite average (81 games): 171 Eric couldn't make it (car trouble) and Si missed the first game; team won no points.
