Feel bad about your game? Dig this!
« on: January 08, 2004, 09:09:30 PM »
Not sure why I want to post this.  Maybe it will make me feel better or something.  Last night, I go 250-something, 240-something, 138!  How do you like them apples?  Why the he11 do you think I'm dwelling on this?  So I shot my low game of the past 4 years, so what!  UGH!!!!!!

Was the moon full last night?

I shot 207-211-162 / 580.  One less split and I would've broken 600

I know a scratch bowler that threw a 742 series one week and then comes back the next week to bowl a 480 series.  The bowler averages around 210.

Thursday night:  164, 268, 279 = 711.  The first game I was crushing one lane and couldn't carry on the other.  Finally for games 2 and 3 I changed balls on the bad lane. Most of the time when you shoot a 160 game you're hoping to break 600 that night, and aren't even thinking of breaking 700!

Something in the air lastnight cause i shot 257-213-186. I think my demize was thinking 700 after the second game. I started leaving that darn 10 pin again. I think carry down was the culprit this time. Oh well i will try again next week.

I BEET YOU ALL! i average 200-210 range, and ive been having thumb troubles latly. So my coach and i decided to take out my thumb holes a bit so i could wear tape when i bowl. My thumb was coming out SO INSANLY QUICK i couldnt hold onto the ball, i was dropping it on every shot without fail. I bowled 173 109 138 100. you read right. Needless to say me and my coach put it down to a learning excercise and are plugging and redrilling my thumbs again!

good luck and high scoring

Yep.  It's a bug of some kind.  Three weeks ago Monday: 154, 279, 256.  Switching balls for game 2 was the best move I could have made.

I bowled right next to a guy who went 300 - 300 - 146 for a great 746 series.

he bowled collegiately for Indiana State Sycamores a few years back.

Peace Out,
