Fri League (16 Sep 2011)

On a good note, I rolled my 1st 200 game of the season with a 226.  The past 3 weeks, I was the picture of consistency rolling series in the 540's 3 weeks in a row, and all of my games were relatively close.  I was not quite so consistent this week.  The 1st game, I was locked in and got pretty good carry.  I had one open frame, which was a 7 pin.  The second game, I rolled a 169.  I had a couple of balls go through the nose, and I tried to speed up my ball.  That was the wrong adjustment.  All that did was throw my timing off.  I should of just moved to the right, and finished on a good note after making that adjustment.  The 3rd game was one of my worst games of the season.  All of a sudden, my ball stopped making it back up to the pocket.  I assumed I was doing something wrong in my delivery (instead of just moving back 2 boards to the left).  I did eventually move back to the left, and got my ball back in the pocket.  My spare shooting was pretty good tonight, except with the 7 pin.  Now that I am putting the ball in the pocket more often, I am leaving more 7 pins and I need to get it figured out.  I missed the 7 pin 4 out of 5 times.  On a good note though, I did have a 55% strike percentage.   I shot a 226, 169, 136 for a 531 series, and my league average is now up to a 172.
