ok here is the thing. I am bowling in a summer 2 man league, current ave after tonight will be 209. Thing is I can't get a 700, I have had a couple in the past but nothing in the last year. I always blow it in the third game. Tonight for example I had a 222, 279 (damn 4 pin in the 5th frame) so I had 501 going in........ I ended with a 665 series. I'm averaging 216 for the first game, 224 for the second and an ugly 186 for the third.....
I know it's mental, I can't get myself zeroed in to finish strong. It's not the oil breakdown (atleast tonight it wastn't) cause after the game was done I threw a 6 bagger. Throwing the 279 game was a breeze, no nerves, no worries, I even turned around after I let the last ball go cause I knew. What can I do to prepare myself mentally for the third game? Any tips or tricks out there? Maybe it's just confidence and the fact that I blew about 10 700's this past season alone. Fatigue isn't an issue at all. Thanks for any help.
