Well we got started Wednesday night and we went 2-2. I personally didn't have that great of a night. Had too many things on my mind besides bowling. I think I shot 596. We were on 11-12 and 11 had one of the worst racks I've seen in a long time. We had 6 pocket 7-10's on that lane. On top of that the 9-pin was set about an inch to the right. So if you went 1/2 pocket, you leave a corner pin or both and if you hit solid it was a stone 9-pin. I didn't have a double after the first game and only had 2 opens on the night.
On a side note, Thedoctor and I will start up our side bet next week. Good luck doc...may I continue to win...lol

I was VERY consistant last night. Shot 130-258-212=600...lol. We won 3 against EFB. I was inconsistant with my delivery trying to swing the ball. Tried to play my normal shot with my U-turn, then moved deeper with my hooking ball and I just couldn't get anything going. To start the 2nd game I pulled out my U-dot and played the same shot I was playing in the PBA Experience league and things turned around. Maybe next week I will start with that shot and see what happens.
Don't know yet what I did against thedoctor. We split the first 2 games and he had a lead on me in totals. Guess we will get his report soon.
Ya'll have a great day.

It only the second week and I am sick of it. Still having the same old problem with one lane hooking more than the other from the start. Plus we caught a pair that one of the lanes had the 9 pin off spot pretty bad. The carry wasn't as bad as when Wine had it last week.

What a shock the lanes still sux at Arm I and they are no better at Arm II..... It's no mystery why I don't look forward to bowling either houses...... Also, Jimbo is aware that there could be something wrong with the lane finish at Arm II and possibly Arm I..... he's waiting on the Brunswick Rep. to get well so he can come take a look at them... Starting Wednesday (yesterday) Arm II is going to try running a Christmas Tree pattern instead of the Top Hat type they have been running the last several years... for some reason the lane finish is causing this pattern to not be scorable.... hopefully, the Christmas Tree pattern will be better...... Jimbo doesn't really know what's going on at Arm I, and is not aware of any shot changes recently..... which makes since, the lanes are still squirrely there at best....

I thought I shot ok. Left quite a few single pins. I think I should have been Bowling No-Taps!!!!! LOL Almost beat the Doctor so, I guess I did good. I still have a few issues with timing but, other than that not a bad night. Shot a high 500. I think we won 3. Not sure.

I can explain why your seing less problems then doc or me and any bowler that puts something on the ball besides hope...lol... they feel that this lane finish is too soft.... it's causing the oil to carry down fast, the dry boards outside with the softer lane finish is causing bowlers that put something on the ball, is causing their ball to hook too hard and to soon.....and when you move in, it's just not turning the corner to get up to the pocket and if it does, it doesn't carry most of the time.(this is often refered to as a (under/over reaction).... the straighter a bowler throws the ball, the better off they are and are having a less of a problem with the lane finish...JMO....

I really don't think I put that much on the ball to begin with. I did however, go to a ball that hooked less than my Smashtime and moved right to play more of a straight up shot. Shot a little better the 2nd game however, eventually had to move a little left for the 3rd game and shot 211. Still not a bad night. IMO I thought I shot ok. Left quite a few single pins.

We got our butts kicked last night going 1-3. I was a tired mofo last night, but on the other hand had a pretty good night. Shot 204, 225, 280, 709. Beat thedoctor the 1st, 3rd, & totals. So we are even for the season. I only had 1 open all night and that was during the 2nd game when I took the 2 off the 2-8. The 3rd game I left a flat 10 in the 2nd. I was throwing the u-dot all night.

I had 1 open for the night which was in the 3rd frame the 1st game I just couldn't do anything the first game. I was trying to play a more down and in shot like I am doing at Arm II, but I was just pulling everything or not getting the speed in it. So the 10 frame I changed balls and move a few boards left and tried to swing the ball. It worked. I haven't been able to swing the ball much so far this year thats why I didn't think I would do well with it last night. Most of it has been me.

WOOHOO kicked our butts last night except for the last game. Nice set Donna Woods until the last game. I shot 195, 212, 246(open in the 10th). I won 1 bracket and the eliminator. Our pair was dry last night until near the end of the 2nd game. I was then able to move right and play more down and in and get better carry. The 1st game and 3/4 I was having to swing the wine u-dot, and that doesn't work for that ball. It looses too much to hit hard on the back. I had 2 splits the first game and 1 the last game in the 10th. Other than that i was clean. I did make a comeback on thedoctor after being 51 pins down after the 1st game.

We won 4 last night going into position round next week. We are 19-13, so that will have us in the top 10. I shot pretty good last night. 230, 217, 215, 662 with 2 opens the 1st game and clean the remainder of the night. Not too bad after not throwing the ball for 2 weeks.
