Pin Downers, Week 6 - #bowling_scores

Things started out well, but went south after the 1st game.  Rolled a 222, 165, 179 for a 566 series.  Was late in making my moves, and I made the wrong move a couple of times.  On a positive note, I was happy with my spare shooting (overall) and I think I learned the proper moves to make in the future.  (When I moved inside on fresh oil, I should have reduced my ball speed or switched to a more aggressive ball.)

Pin Downers, Week 5 - #bowling_scores

Had a slow start this week; 184, 172 and a 236 for a 592 series.  The middle of the lane seemed a little slick this week.  So I ended up moving out to the 2nd arrow, and I was also a little slow in making adjustments. (I find when I play the 2nd arrow, the lanes are less forgiving.)  In the 3rd game, I had a 5 bagger, 2 opens and another 5 bagger.  The 1st open was just a big miss, and I went through the nose on the 2nd open.  Moved 2 boards left and struck the rest of the way out.  Over all, my spare shooting wasn't horrid, but it definitely wasn't good.  Something to work on for next week.

Pin Downers, Week 4 - #bowling_scores

Had a decent night with a 189, 205 and a 216 for a 610 series.  Had a total of 3 opens (two 10 pins and a big 4 split).  And like last week, I had a clean 3rd game.  Spare shooting was the name of the game tonight, and we came out on the winning end.  I started out targeting the 3rd arrow, and my ball was hitting real light in the pocket.  So I moved right targeting the 2nd arrow, and my ball was coming in harder, but it was not very forgiving. That was when I left the big 4 followed by a 1-2-4-6-10 washout (which I picked up).  I moved back inside to the 3rd arrow; kept my ball speed under control and picked up my spares.
