Again this week, nothing impressive with my scores. I rolled at 153, 127 and a 123 for a 403 series. I came into tonight with a 137 average and averaged 134 for the night. My first ball was better. I didn't have any frames where I pulled the ball and lost count after a strike or spare. I have gotten better at keeping my hand behind the ball through my release which has resulted in better pin counts on the 1st ball.
However, now that I am able to roll the ball with less hook, I need to adjust my target and where I stand on all of my spares. It was a good sign in the 3rd game when I started out with a 9 count in the 1st 3 frames (I am starting to keep my ball around the pocket) but I didn't pick them up. In fact I only had one mark in the 1st 6 frames. I did turn it around after that and started picking up spares. Additionally, my team did not want to change the lineup, so I am still bowling anchor (with the lowest average on the team). So I still have the added pressure of that on top of just trying to learn to bowl with my left hand. I am still enjoying the challenge, and we were able to win 5 out of 7 points tonight.
My average since I switched to the left hand can be found at https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoYRqw1wwNtNdDQ3R09RX2xXWGdRQWozN1p0YUhKdmc&hl=en#gid=0.
