Big Improvement.....
« on: July 07, 2003, 09:34:38 PM »
What a difference it makes when you make most of your spares. I bowled my Monday night league last night and have been struggling with attaining a 180-185 average and maintaining it as my goal for the summer. Well, my coach says I need to work on my spares, which I have been. Well last night I only opened 3 times through 4 games (includes 1 practice game). Those 3 opens were all splits! I covered every single and multi pin makeable spare last night and the scores show it. Practice game was a 241. Game 1, 214. Game 2, 231. and Game 3, 224 for a 669 series for the night, my new high series. I hope I continue to improve and consistently shoot scores like this!!

How am I supposed to knock all 10 down with one ball?!?

I've always felt making the spares takes a lot of pressure off of your game.  Seems like every time I open, I try to force the next few shots to get that double to make up for the open.  When I'm sparing, the strikes come so much easier and more often.

There is an old say in bowling that goes like this.........

" You strike for show............


  And you spare for dough $$$$$$$"

Congrats Rock77 on your new high series and keep practicing those spares!!!
