Tonight was the first night I have bowled on my PBA Experience league. (I missed the 1st 2 weeks due to our little road trip.) We were bowling on the Cheetah pattern tonight, and I did surprisingly well. The line on the Cheetah pattern is to play outside of the 5 board, but I moved inside with my target being the 2nd arrow, and the ball didn't get any further right than the 5 board. I think the main thing that helped me was slowing down my approach, and getting some loft on the ball. I rolled a 262, 172 and a 197 for a 631 series. During the 1st game, I had real good carry. But the 2nd game, I started out with 2 splits, and ended up with 4 open frames. I think I did ok to get a 172. The 3rd game, I was back in the pocket, but my carry was non-existant. I ended up rolling a 197 with no doubles. My pin fall can be viewed at http://www.bowlspot.com/share/T1hbQ9dCsums2323.
I was standing on board 30, approach towards the 1 pin and rolling the ball over the 2nd arrow. Concentrated on keeping my approach slow (late timing) and getting the ball (WD) out on the lane.
