All I got to say is that my teammates in the winter better watch it because my game is getting better. They're floating at low 200 averages and i exited the year with a 170, but over the summer I have been tweaking and learning new things and my scores have been increasing. My average is up about 15 pins from the winter. And I told the one guy in our trios league that I'll catch so he bowl lead-off like he likes to (206 average last time I checked). A 700 would be an awesome series for me. But I always seem to get stuck at 655. I've gottent that series three times already but never over it.

thats good improvement there, just keep it consistant and you'll be at low 200's as well. I wish I can bump my average by 15 pins. As it is I have to throw about 630 right now to break even.

That unfortunately is not what I'm looking forward to. I've been having some consistancy troubles as of late, and throwing like 550 series increases my average. However, the higher it gets the better I'm going to have to perform. I just hope I can get consistent before I hit the decline in this situation.

yah thats the downside of a higher average, but the more you bowl in that pin range, the more you have confidence of getting there or bringing out a good game to break even for the night. I always try to bowl +20 for the night, that way I have a lil buffer to break even if I miss a shot or get a split. Keeping the games clean is #1 to getting a 190+ average.
