Well get caught up here. Week 14 Well this was a real C***fest. We were on lanes 1&2 and this is where they started oiling and I didn't see him burn them first. Nothing really got going for me, The main problem I saw was I had trouble holding the ball. My thumb hole felt as big as a shot glass, even with tape in it. I'm going to see about going to a smaller thumb insert and see if that helps. The keeping my balance arm in front more helped with keeping my shoulders open, so I was projecting the ball out better at least.

Week 15 Well a better night! I went in and got my thumb insert changed in the Paranoia to a smaller size insert. First thing we found the one already in was the wrong size (he had grabbed the wrong one a 63/64th instead of a 31/32nd) the 31/32nd was still too big. He also said that was a contour insert and he said there was something funny about them. (He uses them too) So he changed brands, I don't remember if he said he changed to Vise or Turbo ones. The one he put in was a 29/32 (I checked it with my calipers to make sure.) It felt way snugger, but I could still slip one piece of tape in so I could feel some texture. Started off by leaving the 4-10 split, I moved left went straight down the left side and picked it right up. The ball felt way better. I wasn't dropping it early and I was projecting it out better. We had a little bit more head oil tonight IMO, I actually saw a few wet oil lines on my ball for a change. The one open in the 2nd game was because I forgot to change to my spare ball. Won in the brackets and the team took all 7 points. Nothing to complain about really, Using the balance arm better has helped and tighter thumbhole seems to have helped also. See how it goes next week, plus got a tournament this Sunday.

12/6/2016 Tuesday Night Valley League

240/225/194 659 Series with an 18/11/3/2 line. 4 for 5 on 10 pin conversions.
Won the 1st 2 games and then game 3 fell apart started leaving 10 pins and a pocket 8-10 split. We lost totals when a mid average bowler shot a 233. 13-22 for the 2nd third of the season and just above .500 for the year at 53-52.
200.58 Average thru 15 weeks (45 games)

12/14/2016

222/224/235 681 Series with a 22/10/1/0 line.
2nd highest series of the season (695 week 13). Only open frame of the night was a missed 10 pin game 1. I feel like it's a mental block at this point on trying to reach a 700. First ball of the 10th frame all 3 games was my downfall.
We ended up losing all games and points partially due to one of our opponents shooting a 630 series who had a 170ish average. I guess we're saving it for the 3rd 3rd of the season.
202.23 average thru 16 weeks (48 games)

Damn near kept it clean the entire night. 1 open is the best of the season.

[litefrozen]

Good shooting on that 681 Series

End of the first half: Position Round: Week 18

190-177-235 for a 602 series.


Well not a bad night which was good since it was position round, We were down one player because of the holiday season. But the three of us bowled over average and we took all three games, Which should put us in 16th place. So we at least made it into the top half for the end of the half.


Won a bracket so was ahead $$ for the night (Had to beat my teammate who shot 670 for it though).


Interesting thing is the team we bowled tonight, we have to bowl again next week! For the start of the second half and we might be down one player again next week also!

191/202/189 582 Series with a 13/16/3/2 line.
Well that amazing line I found yesterday during practice (200/258 2 game set) lasted me all of 2 frames. Couldn't find any route to the pocket at all the entire night. I don't remember being this confused/frustrated by the lane conditions in a long time. Never more than XX in a row. 16 Spares is a season high.
I felt like I threw 6 games tonight not 3 and it felt more like a 522 than a 582. Still, keeping it clean all but 3 frames keeps the average from dropping too much. We lost all but one game and continue to wallow in the cellar of the 2nd third of the season at 15-34 and 55-64 for the season.
201.75 Average thru 17 weeks (51 games)

[litefrozen]

Well nothing great, but over average and I got some bracket money.

12/27/16

177/190/201 568 Series with a 14/11/6/2 line.

Another struggle this week. The main issue being ball speed I couldn't find the right speed the entire night. As a team we are also continuing to struggle. Only winning 1 game for what seems like a regular occurrance now if not getting swept. I'll try and turn it around tonight. Interestingly enough my average is up about a pin and a half from this point last season although last season I went off the final 10 weeks with 8 of 10 being 600+. 201.06 average thru 18 weeks (54 games)

[litefrozen]

Well not great, but not bad. We won all the points, I Broke even in the brackets.

We were on lanes 1-2 so it was going to be a coin toss on how they'd be, but they were not bad. As a team we bowled over average.

1.24.17

222/243/207 672 Series with a 20/11/1/1 line.
700 series still taunts me. I haven't rolled one in nearly a year. Missed the head pin in frame 4 of game 1 leaving a washout I couldn't convert. Only open frame of the night. 3 for 3 on 10 pins. It We won the first 2 games and then fell off game 3 getting blown out and then losing total pins by 1 flipping pin 2249-2248. Super frustrating as we could have gone 5-2 for the second consecutive week but instead go 4-3 knocking us from 1st for the third third of the season. 9-5 thru 2 weeks of the third third and still near the cellar at 72-83 for the season.

201.52 Average thru 66 games (22 weeks)
