Tuesday night in our scratch league i finished the set with 300 for 817. The thing is, i didnt deserve or remotely feel like i earned either of those. I feel like 250-720 was all i really earned. Hits that should have carried cost me about 40 or 50 pins, but shots that fell that should have had no chance gave me at least 100. However, i got up in the tenth of the last game, needing the first one for 800 and all 3 for the 300. First one in the tenth was one of the best shots of the night, i tugged 11 a bit and was a tad soft with 12 but i hit right where i was aiming. So in a way i feel like i earned it, and in another way i dont feel like i should have even had a chance at either score. I thumbed some shots pretty bad, i had some 3 board tugs, i had some thumb and tug shots. I only had a few ugly carry jobs, but the bad shots off my hand found the pocket more often than not. Should i feel good that i made the shots i needed, or is it just one of those fall into your lap nights. I told my wife after the 6th ball of the last game that it felt like a 300, even though i wasnt too happy with most of my shots. Im a perfectionist, so im pretty hard on myself normally, but when other people start making comments about you getting away with stuff, you know you have the horseshoe securely wedged.
That's just like, your opinion, man.
