19 October 2009 - PBAX

Tonight was the first night I have bowled on my PBA Experience league.  (I missed the 1st 2 weeks due to our little road trip.)  We were bowling on the Cheetah pattern tonight, and I did surprisingly well.  The line on the Cheetah pattern is to play outside of the 5 board, but I moved inside with my target being the 2nd arrow, and the ball didn't get any further right than the 5 board.  I think the main thing that helped me was slowing down my approach, and getting some loft on the ball.  I rolled a 262, 172 and a 197 for a 631 series.  During the 1st game, I had real good carry.  But the 2nd game, I started out with 2 splits, and ended up with 4 open frames.  I think I did ok to get a 172.  The 3rd game, I was back in the pocket, but my carry was non-existant.  I ended up rolling a 197 with no doubles.  My pin fall can be viewed at http://www.bowlspot.com/share/T1hbQ9dCsums2323.

I was standing on board 30, approach towards the 1 pin and rolling the ball over the 2nd arrow.  Concentrated on keeping my approach slow (late timing) and getting the ball (WD) out on the lane.

Summer PBA Experience 10 game tournament

We will be bowling our 10 game tournament this coming Tuesday (10 games across 10 lanes using a 10 week schedule). On each pair of lanes, one lane will be the Scorpion pattern and the other lane will be the Cheetah pattern.
