One thing that'll be interesting, if you choose to...is to see if bowling this league positively impacts your performance on a league that bowls on a THS.

Not sure if you're planning to bowl in any standard THS leagues going forward...but it'd be interesting to see of bowling the sport patterns elevates your average on non-sport patterns. I'd 'guess' it would...mainly because you have to be so accurate and so consistent to even score 150-160 on a sport pattern.

After my first sport pattern experience, I noticed that I was much more focused on the board I was aiming at. Prior to that, when I was starting out, I'd just heave the ball at a general area and hoped for the best. But, you'll be lucky to bowl a 130 bowling that way on sport patterns. Not to mention the speed control needed.

Buddies Winter Challenge League, 9/16/24 Week 2

Pattern:PBA 38' V1

Scores:167, 124, 201, 492 series

I missed week one but I did have a sub who bowled well enough for me to be in the middle of the pack. The format is the same as last year: Scratch, singles, every week is a position round with each game worth 10 points and the series worth 30. In addition to the head to head points you also earn a point for every bowler's score that you beat each game plus a point for every series that you beat. For example I only one one game against my opponent so I know I added at least 10 pins to my season total. My opponent earned at least 50 points. It will be interesting to see how many points I took versus the field. Since no one broke 600 last week I figure I have a shot at another 30 points.

I got a new Phase II last week and Chris shortened the span significantly. That meant I really only had one ball to use for everything.

So John, why did Chris shorten your span?

[J Anderson]

My fingers aren’t nearly as flexible as they used to be.

Buddies Winter Challenge League, 9/23/24 Week 3

Pattern:PBA 38' V1

Didn't score as well as last week, but beat my opponent 2 out of three and took wood. Had a new spare ball but kept missing right on my left side spares.

One of the things I miss most since moving to Florida, popping into Chris’s shop whenever I needed to. I still get everything from him, but fit checks, etc have to wait for visits. Even minor repairs etc are not the same here so I wait if I can, or ship it up to him
