539-- i brought my weaker reactive equipment, as you can tell that was not the answer. next week i will bring my blue dot, white dot, my weak reactive will be for when the lanes are "slick" (big hit, and beast master). the team won 3 (no thanks to me) go g spots.

Did better this week on the Arm II shot, had to wet sand my Crunch Time with 1000 grit sand paper and have it polished.... but it worked.
Had games of 266, 228, 218....712 series. Lane 1 broke down 4 boards during the 2nd game, couldn't double until the 8th and 9th frames.
Had a much harder time getting the ball down the lane the 2nd and 3rd game but 1 & 2 are one of the driest pairs in the house.
I see many people shooting pretty good on this shot but I see just as many struggling on it as well. It's too dry for them....JMO....and personally, I would prefer a little more oil....

Had a good night once again 278+213+204=695. One the second game and one open the third game But team Raider Power won four After 3 weeks I'm averaging 221 and our team is 11-1 After keeping track of how perfect is bowling I've swept him 2 weeks in a row at Armadilla 2. I know it's early and I'm sure he'll beat me just as often But I am up right now and that's all that matters Hopefully he'll take my advice and purchase a #14 ball because after watching screwed beat him by 120 pins using #14 equipment he might want to check into it

I only shot 740!!! But it cant be the equipment or technique, it has to be the lanes that are makeing it unscoreable for the perfect one. The carry wasnt so great for him and I seen a few others on are pair struggle with the corner pins as well. As far as beating perfect and out averageing him its still early in the league but I have one hell of a head start on him lol.

I just plain threw the ball bad the second and third games last night. I had a headache that wouldn't go away and I was not an top of my game. I was experiencing some over and under reaction the second game and some oil carry down with my newly polished up Crunch Time. When I switched equipment, I just threw it badly.... It's early and I will be back, it's not who wins the first ten yards of a 100 yard race but who's ahead at the end..... ;D

well, i started off slow and finished on a high note. 180, 269, 277. its been awhile since i could square up on a shot. (throwing a plastic maximum does have its advantages) it just takes a little time going from swinging third and fourth arrow-- to playing "down" the boards. mark my words, if the house shiot remains i could have another honor score with plastic.

Good bowling xbom.... I had a slightly lower than average night last night. Had games of 236, 205 and 228 for a 669 series...
Had trouble getting the 10 pin out.... Still hoping RR will put out more oil in the middle... covering the amount of boards I'm having to cover, is really hurting my carry percentage. My polished up Track Crunch Time, has a hard time kicking the ten out the 2nd and 3rd games because of oil carry down..... Oh well, life goes on...lol..

I missed, and we won 4 games..... I wonder if that is an omen.
On a brighter note, I was in Vegas for almost a week and came home with $150 less than I took..... including food cost etc.
$30/ day loss for Vegas is like winning.

Lose $150 after a week in Vegas not bad But only taking $200 and bringing back $50 is still a loss But after being stuck in traffic for 10 hours being out of gas finally finding a station that had some I would have spent $150 to fill up
