Timmyb's scores

[Aslan]

First week. New league, new house, one practice set the entire summer.

231/196/223 = 650. My arm is Jello right now. One open each game (whiffed 7, 4-5-7 split, 4-9 split). Made every 10 pin, and those were plentiful tonight (7). I'm getting old, fat and sweaty. cannot wait until it cools off. Let's start the year with a 216 average.

Must be my doppelgänger.

- Started league with a 216 average (check).
- Is fat and sweaty and can't wait for cooler temperatures (check).
- Leaves too many 10-pins (check).

The only difference is:

1) I won't come as close to maintaining that 216 average as you will.

2) My arm isn't jello...mainly because I never take a season off. I just can't. I lose my game too fast if I step away for a few weeks. It took me a full year to finally get my timing pretty decent.

Nice start! Good, consistent scoring near that 200 mark. And, 7 for 7 on 10-pins! Heck...I'd take that any day.

Was tough to even get out this summer with the amount of shooting I did. 3200 rounds so far this year, and there's a few more events to go.

Not my best night--

237/177/201 = 615. 1st game was fine, and clean. Then my mechanics started to slide. 2 opens in game 2 killed me. Game 3 coulda/woulda but for a Greek church to finish the game. Part of my issue with mechanics may be that my elbow was not doing well. I've also left 15 10 pins in 2 weeks now. Fortunately (knock on wood) I've picked up every one of them. Average slides to 210.

Starting to seem like wash/rinse/repeat--

183/246/225 = 654. Getting killed by one game every week so far. This week was the 1st. Just couldn't get in a groove. For the second time this year, looked at a 4-5-7 split. If you hit the pocket light in this house, you won't get a reward. Also left a 5-7 (made it), and a 5-10. The only other whiff on the night was a missed 10 pin, my first this year. Considering I've now seen 21 of them in the first 3 weeks, I guess I'll take it. I did finally leave a ringing 10-pin. All the rest have been weak. I'm beginning to pick up the transition in this house, but it was tough this week when 2 guys from each team pre-bowled, so there was only 2 of us bowling. My mind has been set all my life to move left, but that's just now how it works in Milwaukee anymore. Average back up to 213.

I made the 4-5-7 last Thursday and again tonight. It seems like 8 out of ten times if I take care of the 4-5 teh 4 pint wil just lay in the gutter. 10% of the ime it will fly around the 7. To make it twice in a row may be the highlight of the year for me.

Exactly what I did, put the 4 slowly in the ditch....

Late posting. Unfortunately watching my beloved Brewers lose. Hoping for better tonight.

Monday--205/236/201 = 642. Started game 1 with 2 consecutive opens (4 pin, 2-10). Made a pretty quick decision to switch to the Summit. Not much of a decision, as that was the other ball in the bag. Hoped for the best. Clean game 2. Drop 2 more in game 3 (4-6-10, 6-7-10). 1st time this year with all 200 games, but 3rd worst series out of 4 weeks. Opens kill, folks. Brighter news--only 3 10 pins this week, and made all. 23/24 for the year (going to track this one). Average stays 213.

Better night, but still with the mistakes....

234/211/229 = 674. Clean until frame 16, and then a solid tug left me a 4-9. Kept my head on, and went into 3 with a solid start, until another tug left me with a Big Four. Both shots were a footwork/timing thing that keeps biting me in the *** from time to time. 5 10-pins tonight (missed one). So far 27/29 on those this year. That I am very happy with. Average ticks up 2 to 215.

Nice night. I'm still tugging one every once in awhile. And great job with the 10 pins. I'm 18/23 on 7 pins this year (78%). Much better than last year so I'm happy about that.
