Bowling Again - Week 4

Well, my average continues to drop. My plan this week going in was to move my 1st ball target to the 2nd arrow.  I was having an issue last week of holding onto my ball too long, and I attributed part of it to playing the outside line over the 1st arrow.  Well, there was a lot of oil inside the 10 board, and I couldn't get my ball up to the head pin on the right lane during the 1st game.  As it turns out, I only marked once on the right lane and rolled a 146 game.  For the 2nd game, I moved back out to the 1st arrow and was able to find the pocket.  I rolled a clean game and shot a 203 with one double.  On the last game, I started going through the nose and didn't make the right adjustments.  I ended up rolling a 125 the last game for a 474 series.

On the last game, when my ball started going through the nose, I moved my feet a couple of boards to the left and kept the same target.  When I did that, my ball came in too light.  I probably should have made a parallel move or a 2:1 move, but I am not sure which.

Even with me bowling poorly, we have continued to win.  Will have to wait and see what happens this week.

Found league to bowl on (maybee) / practice

Well, after not bowling league for almost 8 months, it looks like I may have found a league to bowl on for the 2nd half of the season.  In the mean time, I got some practice in today while my wife was bowling on her womans league.  I had a good session, and I was most happy with my spare shooting.  I started out with a 167 the 1st game.  I started out rolling over the 2nd arrow and then moved in to the 3rd arrow, because my ball was coming in too hard (and after leaving 2 big splits).  I had 3 opens (the 2 splits and I wiffed on an easy spare).  My 2nd and 3rd games were clean and I also rolled 6 strikes in each game (215 and 221).
