Pin Downers, Week 14 - #bowling_scores

Again I did better on my Thursday league than I did on my Wednesday league.  226, 202, 214 for a 642 series. I also did much better on my spare shooting (3 opens with one of them being a split). I was pleased that I was 5 out of 5 on covering the 10 pin.  I think some of the improvement on my spare shooting is going with a heavier ball on my spare shots and focusing on keeping my elbow in (along with not rushing my approach).

Wed Men, Week 13 #bowling_scores

I continue to set low marks on my Wed night men's league.  Hard to think of anything positive coming out of last nights bowling (169, 179, 129 for a 477 series).  I did end up trying out a lighter ball this week.  I was able to get it further down the lane, but still had issues with it going through the nose.  In addition to that, my spare shooting was not good last night either. Barely over 50% on my spare conversions (11 opens, 5 were splits).  My 1st ball average was 7.8 which is not going to make for high scores (obviously).  I keep telling my self that I just need to go with the straighter shot, then I struggle for one reason or another, and then I go back to my normal delivery.  I need to flatten my shot out and resist the temptation to revert back to my higher rev delivery (when the lanes are this dry).

Hoping to do better tonight.

Pin Downers, Week 13 - #bowling_scores

Bowled better tonight. 252, 183, 212 for a 647 series. Started out targeting the 2nd arrow tonight. I found that if I missed inside, my ball would hold, but it had no drive. I needed to hit my target and keep the speed firm. I started out the 1st game with the first eight and then had a split in the 9th. After that, I lost the line until the end of the 2nd game. I also noticed when I needed to make an adjustment, it was in the right direction, but it wasn't a big enough move (so it would take me a couple of frames to get my ball back in the pocket).
