that's it PBA, that must be the reason I've been bowling so bad ... cause as we all know, even great bowlers like myself and Mr P can bowl bad at times Well I know I'm not beyond bowling bad and have done it often enough times..... but it seems here lately that it has always been on Wednesday night. The oil is being oiled to far down the lane since the lanes have been resurfaced. If they would cut the distance back a foot or two, I think the shot would react closer to how it use to....JMO... Greg Gilley has told me they have been very squirrelly this summer as have many others.....You would think that with the 9 balls I carry with me in my truck (not counting my spare ball) I could find something that works...but I haven't yet. My Hammer Blade did work well one night shooting a 705 but the next week, it reacted horrible. And last week I started off with it and like I said, started off with the front 4 but soon started leaving 10 pins and coming up light, even after moving right two or three boards to compensate. OH well, guess I'll have to live with a 210 avg. this summer in this league. I just hope people don't think I'm sandbagging since my average is 20+ pins under normal.... because I am not....

Bowled a little better last night, had games of 222, 267 and 181 for a 670 series. Lanes seemed fine for the first two games but the 3rd game, the lanes went to crap. Mark B., Charlie A. or myself could not break 200 our last game. The track fried and hooked early and when we moved in, couldn't get anything to flip over. I was clean my last game until the 10th, 7 spares and 2 strikes. Tried one more adjustment on 25 (the worst lane of the two) and left a 2, 8, 10....
I don't know if Arm I made any adjustments to their house shot or not from last week but I wasn't having to fight oil carry down until we had to move inside.... The lanes were better but not quite there in my opinion....

Had another typical Wednesday night at Arm I.... After the first 4 or 5 frames started getting over/under reaction.... the shot suxs..
Went 199, 198, 193 for another sub 600 series.... I'm sure my 670 from last week was just a fluke... probably caught one of the better pairs..... we were on 27 & 28 last night.... and the rack on 27 suxs... that's why it's one of the lily lanes like lane 13....
Can't wait til Fall leagues start so I can go back to Arm II....

My back was bothering me last night... I strained it working earlier in the week... I probably shouldn't have bowled... started out really slow... 139, then about 1/2 way thru the 2nd game I started hitting the pocket.... double, left a 6 pin, missed it, 7 pin spare, 7 pin spare, strike 7 pin spare in the 10th for 170-something.
Then the last game I throw 1 shot the entire game (other than a brooklyn that struck) out of the pocket, I left a 4-7-8 (almost a greek church) and had 160 soemtheing for a 478 series with a 130 game...
Threw the Hammer Doom all night and I think I agree with perfect... it's not a great carrying ball... like I said, I know I'm not the greatest most consistent LH in the world, but in and around the pocket for 1/2 the night and throw 8 total strikes?
It's gotta be the ball...

It's gotta be the ball... I'm with you on that one PBA....lol...... I always blame the ball or lanes when I can...lol... helps to keep my confidence level up...lol... Can't bowl well if your down on yourself, that's how slumps begin....lol... The mind and confidence is a fragile thing, I do all I can to blame anything other than myself to help...lol... But sometimes, I can't get around it....lol... The ball was good on that Sport Shot and on some other squirrelly lane conditions but when it came to the easier shots.... the ball just didn't carry as well as other balls did for me.... Now the Toxic I like.... never threw the Pain but I know Jimbo liked his and I think Xbom did as well....
