Nice shooting guys!! i bowled tonight in the 4person/2game league and first game 158 with only the one strike and missed 2 easy spares, then just missed a 4,7 10 split!!!(being a lefty) 2nd game 190 with only 2 strikes,the rest spares....then in my third shot in 10th slipped out of my thumb straight into gutter!!!was hoping for a strike for 200!!!but the team most importantly won by 82 in first and 105 in second, against the 2nd placed team (we are 1st) also...i struck the pocket so sweetly on about 5 occasions with my uprising...yet left a 7 or 10 pin, really peed me off. then the ones that were a bit off striked??thats bowling sometimes i spose...Cheers and good bowling...

Subbed in one of the leagues last night and I'm apparently still slumping.

Started okay out of the gate. Shot 258. X9-9/, sheet. Left a 10 both times and I still dunno why I missed the first one. It was stupid. I'm generally a good spare shooter.

Game 2 I started losing the shot big time and I was being dumb and didn't adjust right. I had 3 or 4 splits, I can't remember. Finished 187. Needed to strike the first ball in the 10th to win and left an absolutely solid 9 pin (I'm a righty) which really bothered me.

Game 3 I started (8)/XX, and the shot was coming back around. The lanes decided to torment me more though, and we had a 25 minute delay before finishing the third frame. There was a rotor problem in the back or something and they opted to fix it because they couldn't move us. Our league doesn't take up the whole house, there's a good 8 or 10 lanes open but they decided to fill it with open bowlers. Yeah, even next to the league. After waiting forever, I got soft on the next ball, 4-6-7 which I came closer to making than I ever have. Shrugged it off and threw a turkey, then another split. Finished 199.

258-187-199 = 644. These low and mid 6's should easily be 7's and higher if I'd get my head out of my... well, you know. I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Bowled in an Industrial league yesterday afternoon. I use it for practice, as it is not sanctioned, and there are no teams. However many show up, are divided, and just bowl, for pots and card games. There were about 24, and I was set on a pair of lanes with bowlers I did not know.

Had trouble sliding too much on the approaches. I would take out my wire brush, and brush across the soles of my shoe. After a few frames, I would slide again. Finally, after 2 games, I noticed the bowler ahead of me in the line-up walking over to the ball rack, and stepping in powder that he had put on the floor. His occasional use of powder caused me to slide occasionally. I asked him to stop, which led to a few words between us. I got the desk person to tell him to stop, and he wouldn't. There are no officers in this group, since it is run by the House. So, I made it known to the organizer of this group that I will never bowl with this fellow again.

It was my only recourse, other than to walk off.

196, 192, 214 for 602. Eh.

Showed up Tuesday not feeling so hot. Threw my new Hornet first ball (strike); Next lane threw Hornet-(lots of oil left 124 610) put it back in the bag,next ball(sting) strike). Really not feeling well at this time- Packed up my bag and went home sicker than a dog.

You must have been REALLY sick to go home after 3 bowls....i reckon the only thing that would stop me bowling would be my left arm dropping off....but then again i would probably start using my right

Upriser, just a question: Here we have USBC rules. What do you go by over there?
