Sorry to toot my own horn but what a day I had. This comes on the heals to almost quitting because I could not get out of my balls and despite physically bowling well (averaging over 225 in 3 leagues) I was leaving on average 10 - 10 pins per night.
Any, two weeks ago I am so frustrated I decide a last ditch effort to return to my old grip from 20 years ago. The first night out, I shoot 781 (choaked for 800). The other sets were 718 and 690. This brings me to today, bowling in City tournament.
High for singles was a meager 755. I shot, 770 and it held up. Then, I bowled double with my daughter and shot, 817 and we posted a city mixed doubles score of 1539 and won the doubles.
Additionally, my daugher bowled singles and shot 691 with 103 pins handicap and ended up with 794 (which finished 2nd in singles handicap.).
I ended up bowling 12 games today and averaged over 250 for the day with a pair of 690's in the middle of the above scores.
Its like a pressure valve being released to have some carry. And it all was my grip.
