Boatman37's summer 2020 scores

[boatman37]

Last night of league. Strike ball was on point but missed a few easy spares again. In warm-ups I struggled to find a good line/ball combo. I kept hitting about 2 boards inside my target at the arrows unless I stayed out around the 7 board then I couldn't get to the pocket with either ball. Also left 3 7 pins in warm-ups and covered all 3. Typically I cannot target the 7 board with the Uppercut as it turns in too hard and goes Brooklyn so didn't even think of trying that to start. Targeted the 10 board but kept coming in high due to missing my target then about 1/2 way through game 1 switched to the Igniter and went out to the 7 board. I was able to hit my target but the ball had no angle at entry and kept leaving corner pins. Grabbed the Uppercut and tried it out there with more speed and that was the ticket. Stayed on that line the rest of the night with the Uppercut. Finished the night with 21 strikes. 3rd game was going great until I left 2 bad shots in a row that I failed to convert. Made a very slight adjustment off of that to get back to the pocket.

Game 1: 203 (7 strikes, 2 spares, 3 opens-2 splits)

Game 2: 214 (6 strikes, 2 spares, 3 opens)

Game 3: 233 (8 strikes, 1 spare, 2 opens)

Well filled in for summer league tonight. It was the first night for it. Summer league is 2 man teams, bowl 2 games against one opponent then move pairs and bowl a different team and 2 more games.

Started out with the Uppercut near the 10 board but struggled to hit my target. Fought through 1st game and changed balls to the Igniter and moved out into the drier stuff. Tried the Uppercut out there first but way too much ball for that part of the lane. So opened game 2 with the front 6 then left a pocket 7 (covered it), then a pocket 4-6-7-8 then a pocket 7-9. Made a small adjustment and started striking again. 3rd game was on a new pair and started coming in high. Tried moving in 2 and 1 but went through the nose. Switched back to the Uppercut and moved back in towards the oil but kept tugging my shots again. 5th frame of game 4 went back to the Igniter and back out to the 7 board but picked up speed and promptly threw 6 in a row. Still missed a few easy spares but overall a good night. First set we went 1-1 but won total pins so points were 3-1. 2nd set don't know cause the guys didn't have averages yet.

Game 1: 198 (7 strikes, 2 spares, 2 opens)

Game 2: 233 (9 strikes, 1 spare, 2 opens-2 splits)

Game 3: 191 (6 strikes, 2 spares, 3 opens)

Game 4: 220 (6 strikes, 3 spares, 2 opens)
