Wednesday Night Established Men's League
Week 7
574 Series: 220 (clean)-156-198
9 /, X, X, 8 /, 7 /, X, X, X, 6 /, X 9 -.
Was happy with myself about the clean game and was really dreading the transition and having to switch balls....because the Zen Master Solid (ZMS) with the new 500/Step 1 surface was working incredibly well.
7 2, 8 1, 9 /, X, 8 1, 8 /, S7 2, X, X, 9 / S5.
After starting things off with a pulled shot and then a strike shot that couldn't carry the 2-5...I decided to make the move to the Perfect Mindset (PM). Continued to struggle....so I finally made the move to the Outer Limits Pearl (OLP) in the 8th frame.
X, 9 /, X, S8 1, 9 /, 6 /, S7 -, X, X, XXX.
As the lanes continued to transition....it was maximum penalty with a 4-6 split and a 4-7-10 split. Finally got locked in for a solid finish.

Positives
- Won another card game!
- A clean game is always a welcomed sight.
- Spare shooting has improved.
Negatives
- Arthritis in my right foot was a bit of an issue.
- Still not confidant in the Perfect Mindset. It just doesn't seem like a good ball-down option.
Pretty consistent scores thus far: 575-652-562-560-565-574. Averaging 567 (taking out the 652) with every game +/- 8 pins. Not 'great'....but not 'bad'. Thats a 189 average....which would be towards the better end of my expectations.
