Jock, ABT has a handicap division, too.

Won all 4 points last night, and saved my team in the anchor position in 2nd and 3rd game. Things really clicked for me in the 3rd game when I slowed down my ball speed and began striking/sparing at will. Was nice to roll a double and a 9 in the 10th frame of the last game to finish the shut-out The team we played was really nice, which is always positive for conversation during play.

(board software hiccuped again)

Thanks Dennis,
Yes , so far so good. It took me a few games to get to know it..but it seems like a great ball. Real predictable, nice carry. As long as the guy throwing it is doing his job,..the ball does its job.

Tim,
Thats usually why i have some bad games too all operator error LOL! seems you like that LM ball you got - there on top of my list if i get a new ball.

Once I get my grip squared away, which is mainly a thumb pitch issue now, I'll be looking into getting a modern ball, and since my Pro Shop has a few on their shelves I might check out the few LM balls they have. I think the Sting is one, the Black Pearl and I can't remember what other ones. I haven't been in there since May, or maybe early June.

hey all, been a couple weeks since i posted anything. things are going well so far, after the first two weeks of great bowling [by my standards, lol] i had a few off weeks, BUT the off nights are getting better, still managed a tad over last years avg for the 'bad' games.

last week, i was focused again for the most part, started with a 192 [struck in the 9th and punched out the 10th], then tossed a 184- CLEAN [big deal to me], if it weren't for a few cruddy 6 pin count first balls, that would have been a great game, then finished with a 165.

although not up to the caliber of bowling many others here have, i AM seeing improvement in my game, and my bad games are getting better [last week i finally zero'd in on the 10 pin], i still need a ton of work, but it's getting there, and it's fun!

Cal,
I have the Sting, and I really like it. Its worth a look.

tbill,
Nice bowling last week, staying clean in the second game nice job. Its always a great feeling when you see improvment in your game. Keep at it.!

thanks Tim, can't wait for thursday night, i feel a 200 coming on, lol.

A 600 series would be great. Your new personal high...
