Pin Downers, Week 19 - #bowling_scores

Bowled much better tonight.  216, 203, 194 for a 613 series.  Nothing off the charts, but I was consistent.  I did make some changes to my game after my 439 series last night.  I had bought new (lighter) equipment, due to problems with my shoulder.  But I would struggle, and go back to my old equipment.  I decided that I was not going to give my self that option.  I only took my Hammer Wrench, New Blue Hammer and Maxim (all 14 lb equipment).  I started out with my Wrench, standing on the middle dot and targeting the 1st arrow.  My ball was coming in nice when I stayed down with my shot and hit the mark.  As the lanes broke down, I would move back on the lane to pick up the ball speed.  In the 2nd game, I moved back up to the front set of dots, switched to my blue hammer and moved 2 boards to the right.  Again, when I rolled a good shot I was rewarded with pretty good carry.  I am confident that I will do a lot better than a 439 on my Wed night next week.

Wed Men, Week 18 #bowling_scores

Tonight was the low point of the season (up to now). 148, 156, 135 for a 439.  The 4th time I failed to break 500 this season and my low series.  I usually try to glean something positive out of every set, but not tonight.  None of my adjustments seemed to work.  Additionally, my spare shooting was not at its best, and it didn't help that I had 8 splits.  (I was 11 out of 22 on my spare attempts with 8 of them being splits.)  I definitely expect to improve on tonight's bowling tomorrow and next week.
