Nice Going Justin...

What happened in the second game? I do that sometimes i just loose my reaction after a good game and just scratching my head and make slight adjustment next game and my reaction comes back.

Great Bowling though. Keep it up you sure to make the team!

Congrats on the high games and especially the 266. I hope you make the team. The onlything I would have to say is that you should not think of splits as opens automatically. I like to think of them as extreme spares that you need to go big or go home with (in essence, try to pick up or not try at all). With some of them it is just a matter of throwing the ball extremely hard, hitting the pins, and getting lucky.

It happens. Most splits are pretty tough to pick up. I wish I could remember how to pick up a vast majority of the ones that I used to leave. Oh well, I don't leave too many nowadays so there isn't a lot for me to practice with.

You will lose more games by always trying to make splits and missing count than you will by just always trying to get count.
