Pin Downers, Week 9 - #bowling_scores

Had a decent night last night. 225, 179, 232 for a 636 series.  Again, I had a lapse in spare shooting in the 2nd game. Overall, I was 5 out of 7 on makeable spares and 1 out of 5 on splits (no baby splits).

Lesson learned from last night:  I rolled with a ball that gave me a little more angle on the pocket, and it may have not been the best decision (although I did have a good set).

  • When making adjustments in speed, the adjustment caused a greater change in ball reaction than it would have with a weaker ball. (Made it more difficult to make adjustments to kick out the 10 pin.)
  • Less forgiveness when making a mistake on the delivery.  (Had to be more precise,  and ended up leaving more splits than usual.)

Conclusion: If a stronger ball is needed to get a good angle on the pocket, by all means, I am going to use it.  However, if I can get a good angle on the pocket with a weaker ball, stick with the weaker ball (straighter is greater).
