Going to change my name to M.I.S.S. (bad spareshooting)
« on: May 24, 2012, 09:58:27 PM »
 >:(    M.I.S.S. = Miserable In Spare Situations  (coined by John Jowdy)


9 games of summer league, so far I've managed to whiff ELEVEN single pin spares.  Other than splits, single pins have been the ONLY spare type I can't convert! 

I can easily throw it straight, but at the moment have no clue where it's going.

Anyone out there more pathetic than I am?    :-[

Once a week I bring just my plastic spare ball and my shoes when I practice. It seems to stop me from getting in extended spare shooting slumps.

I like to take a game or two when I practice and throw the wrong ball, which in turn leaves me alot of interesting spares to shot at.

I know. I am in a summer sports league, and I am missing a ton of single pin spares I normally don't miss.

I think next time I go practice I will only bring my plastic ball, and start picking pins off.
