Friday Night Mixers (8 Apr 2011)

Rolled the last week of the league last Friday, and had a decent night.  There seemed to be more oil on the lanes which resulted in a few more splits and a lot more spare opportunities.  During the 1st game, I moved where I was standing a couple of board to the left, and was able to get my ball to the pocket.  But I pretty much had to roll a perfect ball to get a strike.  During the second game, I moved back to my normal board, but moved my feet forward about 1 1/2 feet in order to slow down my ball.  That seemed to do the trick.  I did struggle a bit on the last game again.  I rolled a 157, 202 and a 161 for a 520 series.  I ended up with a 159 average after 12 weeks bowling left handed.  I am very happy with my progress.  Of note, in the last 8 weeks of the league, only 2 of them were below a 500 series, and I bowled at least 1 200 game each of the last 5 weeks.

My pin fall for last week:

Friday Night Mixers (1 April 2011)

Had a good start for a change last night, and thought I was going to have my 1st left handed 600 series.  Rolled a 217 and 216 for the 1st 2 games, but struggled on the last game for a 151 and a 584 series.  Even with the 151, it was still a good night.  It was my 1st back to back 200 games, and it is also my high series so far.  My second game should have been a lot higher, but I dropped the 1st ball of the 7th frame in the channel after starting off with the 1st 6 strikes.  After that I wasn't able to get anything going.  Looking forward to next week.
