Last night during league (THS):
226-187-203 = 616
First game was clean with even two converted splits. Second and third games I started tugging the ball now and then causing splits and easy spare misses.
I used the new VE all three games and was surprised by the fact that I did not have to move my feet or line the whole night.

Went to PBA practice last night. It is against Doctor's orders. But, 3 Aleve and it was the Shark.
I took a few approach practices without the ball, just trying out a slide and knee bend. Seemed OK. Stretched the lower back. Even leaned backward over the scorekeeper, and got a few pops.
Took out my Dynamic Power, and walked slowly, released straight over 8, and strike. A Hambone later, I finally left a 10 pin because I picked up a little speed. Missed it because I didn't bring my spare ball, then doubled. Got the ball out to 6 and it stayed there for a washout. Left another 10/miss in the tenth for a low 200.
Second game was about the same , finishing with another low 200.
Took out my Virtual Gravity and couldn't find a line. Moved left, tried outside, left some horrible splits for opens. Rolled 2-140ish games.
Next, it was the Terminator's turn. Moved outside again, over 8. Got extra length and a back end snap. Pins seemed to splash. Left a few spares that I chopped, but finished with a 190 something.
The Dynamic Power rolls on this pattern without any trouble. Have no reason why I couldn't keep the VG in line. It caused me to keep moving.
Back felt fine last night. Couldn't move this morning. Guess I should bowl again to loosen it up.

Sidenote. Bowled next to 2 fellows who I see weekly. They were both having a terrible time on the lanes. They were rolling the Virtual Energy, T-Road, and other balls that wouldn't finish. One fellow actually had 9 balls in practice, and couldn't find any one to work. He and I talked, since he saw my DP working when his balls didn't. Then, he said wait.
Ran out to his car, where he had a Fury Pearl that had the surface dulled to 320. He finished his game with 7 in a row. The Fury just held a tight line with only a 3 board turn. "That's the ball I will use in League" he said.
Don't understand a pearl cover being sanded to 320?

Couldn't find the pocket and was missing spares. Bad combination. Finally moved to the right at the end of game 1, took me a game to get used too and bowled decent the last game. As a team we were in first place, probably not anymore (21-7 loss).
