Tonight is my weekly 9 pin no tap "trny". Its more of a bowling for bux, which is actaully the name. There are different color pins and are worth different amounts. Splits are your big $$. If you add a color pin into it then double it, 2 pins, triple.. Tonight I shot well. Came out the gate strong with a 268. The shot was alot better than it usually is and was really able to find a line quick. Going into the 2nd game I did notice my ball was wanting to try to hook a little early so I ...

Last night was the meeting and 1st night of bowling for my 4 person mixed scratch league. Well the meeting seemed like it took forever with a rules change or alter on almost every one. we are running a 23 point system. 3 points per team game win, 2 points for team total, andd 1 point per game per singles win (you bowl the person accross you). The higher team in the standings will set their line up 1st and then the opposing team with set who they want to match up.This is a 9pm league so we will be ...

Tonight was our last night of league and we came into tonight in 4th place. We couldnt catch the 3rd place team, but could fall as far as 9th if we didnt hold our own. We came out of the gate losing by 20 pins . I shot a 201 during this game. The 2nd game we come back to win by 22 pins. I didnt do much help this game posting a 174. Now we are 2 pins apart with the advantage to us. The 3rd game was all ours. We ran away with it and won by almost 100 pins. I added a 190 to the team this game. We finished ...

Today was the final day of the trny. went into today in 3rd and 4th in doubles (different partners) and I was in the cut for the semi's. I got there before the last squad to watch everyone to see what lines they were playing and how the balls were reacting. It didnt look to be much different than yesterday.. miss inside it would take off, miss outside and no chance of coming back. I saw more splits in this months trny then all the others combined. It was split city.. Well by the end of the regular ...

Last night was the weekly tournament again. I was excited to find out that they were still running the new house shot which i am currently averaging 244 on. :-) well my 1st game i jumped out of the gates with a 268. I was sitting in 2nd after the 1st game. The second game we moved to the end set and that wasn't so good. Shot 176, the shot was like completly different down there. I split every shot on the left lane and stuck the right lane. I was still sitting in 2nd after the 2nd game due to having ...

We had our league meeting for my wed night league that is scheduled to start next week. This year this league will be starting without my girlfriend and I.Thsi would be my 1st year in this league so I was happy to try out a new center along with my usual center.. I realized as soon as I walked in the door that I was in for a treat when i saw, or rather heard that the president and secretary really didnt know what in the world they were doing.. They read the rules straight off a peice of paper and ...

After the 1st three games I was in 1st by 90 pins. With the cut being just the top 2 I wanted to try some different balls and different lines in the 4th game. I ended up just going with my line i have thrown all night ...

Entering average- 201

Game 1- 199

This game started great! 1st 3 frames were strikes, then i lost it. Just out of nowhere that line went away. I didnt throw another strike until the 9th frame. I was throwing my virtual gravity like usual since its a heavier shot.

Game 2- 178

This game i played around with my virtual energy and my polished attitude shift. The VE was a little too much ball for the line I was trying to play..The attitude ...

Tonight was my weekly tournament again.. This tournamnet was held on a 34ft sport pattern. It was some international pattern again.. not sure why he keeps using these..lol.. Well my 1st game i shot 187 and was in 6th with the cut being the to 3... moved sets and the shot just got alot better.. more oil it seemed and the ball held very well. ended up shooting 207 with a open in the 10th.. that jumped me to 1st on the board since EVERYONE bowled horrible the 2nd game.. going into the 3rd game i had ...

Tonight was the 1st league night that my girlfriend missed that actualy effected me due to her being on the team. Well we dont think she actualy broke her toe now but just sprained it really bad... But enough about that..

The past 2 weeks we have only lost 2 point (1 game) and started making our way back up the board after 2 sweeps the week prior. We are still carrying the highest team average in the league so not much handicap. We were in 4th place tonight 1 point out of 3rd and ...

Tonight was the Scorpion pattern. This is a 42 foot pattern very close to the looks of a typical house shot just flatter. I started durring practice stringing strikes with my Virtual Gravity. Got into the 1st game and not too sure what happened. The shot was GONE! I moved all over and then stuck with playing a BIG hook. I was standing 30, laying the ball down at 22ish and playing out to around 7. Ended up finishing with a 178. Not too bad for such a bad start. Move to the next set and played the ...

So tonight was the weekly trny that I bowl.. They use a different sport condition each week.. Tonight was some crazy overseas 34ft kegel pattern... It played weird to say the least... At times it played like a reverse block and others nothing like that.. I think there was 2 200+ games in all 3 games from everyone.. It was UGLY! I shot horrible in the 1st game and then came back in the second and could spare the 10th for a 183.. 1st ball i leave a 10 pin.. I couldnt carry a 10 to save my life tonight.. ...

so i went to league last night bringing a 208 average with me. ooh did that drop.. the center decided to change the shot again for the 3rd time in 3 weeks.. they are trying to find a good shot for the upcoming season... but anywho during practice i couldnt miss.. strike after strike.. but once the 1st game started the shot that i had been playing all of a sudden just wasnt there... left 3 splits and just couldnt carry single pins.. ened with a 157..ouch... then come back the 2nd game needing to ...

So I came down to AMF Longwood today to shoot the Fl classic tournament. I was told once i got here that it was a 35ft shot.. oh were they wrong.. 1st ball with my virtual energy drilled 4x4 didnt even think about moving.. the shot that is supposedly a 35 ft modified PBA TOC pattern is playing like a 50ft shot.. It took almost 3 full games to get a 5 board hook.. Then the shot started to break down and it wasnt too bad.. with handicap i made the cut in singles with a 717.. When i left i was also ...
