I got some practice in this week to figure out what adjustments will work for me and I also made some adjustments on my spare shooting. We will see tonight if it made a difference. My games from last week are below.

Bowling Again - Week 11
Last week was a frustrating week, and I am just now getting around to posting about it. The 1st game had started out good, but I had decided that I was going to move back on the lanes to pick up my ball speed as the lanes broke down. That was an adjustment that I was able to make in the past, but not now (not quite as coordinated after the changes in my release over the last couple of years). As I picked up the speed, I lost carry and my timing suffered. As I started to lose my timing, I also started to miss spares. I ended up rolling a 209, 170 and a 148 for a 527 series.

Bowling Again - Week 10
This is the 3rd week in a row that I have bowled below par. I only had a 27% strike percentage, and my 1st ball average was 8.63. I had 6 splits (3 in the 2nd game) but over all, my spare shooting saved me allowing me to average 173 for the night. I do feel like my spare shooting is a lot better than it used to be. I rolled a 183, 151 and a 185 for a 519 series.

Bowling Again - Week 9
I felt like I was struggling again this week, and during the 1st game, my timing was off. I was rushing my feet, and tried several things to no avail during the 1st half of the 1st game. It got a lot better when I moved back on the approach about 2 feet in the 8th frame of the 1st game (but I still had to concentrate on not rushing my approach). Additionally, when I did find the pocket, it would only last a couple of frames before I would have to make an adjustment. In hind site, the night was not as bad as I felt it was. I had a 50% strike percentage, was 11 out of 11 on my non-split spares (could have done without the 6 splits though) and my 1st ball average was 9.1. My games were 163, 213 and a 190 for a 566 series (entering average was a 183).

Bowling Again - Week 8
After having 2 good weeks in a row, I struggled a bit this week. The amount of oil on the inside did cause me to struggle a bit, and it was too dry on the outside for me to go down and in. I tried slowing my ball down and swinging it out to the outside, and that didn't work too well either. In the 6th frame of the 2nd game, I decided to move in to the 3rd arrow, and just stay in the oil. I didn't have a lot of room for error, and if I missed right, it wasn't coming back. Even with that, I did a lot better once I made the move inside.
On a positive note, I was 13 out of 14 for my non-split spares, and I was 1 out 6 on my split attempts.
