How many are bowling in them this Summer? I was lucky enough to get Livespive to bowl with me in a local doubles league. This will be my first time trying the Sport conditions. I thought it might be fun to compare notes as the Summer goes by to compare progress. I know I will probably be lucky to hold 170-180. Any interest, post here.

Yeah,

Shot on the same shot last night. Must have been a
bunch of oil in the very middle of the lane. If I made
a mistake and pulled it to the center, the ball skated ALL the way
down the lane and hit the head pin.

I was able to play 10 to 15 with my 315 Charcoal executioner
again, once I woke up and decided to bowl.
134 173 163 My avg for the league is (or was I should say) 163

I'll have to tear them up for the last six if I am going to finish with a
decent average.

Bowled last night on a 42' reverse block of sorts; at least that's what I was told. This pattern was very demanding for me. Speed control seemed to be the most critical of any shot we've had this Summer. The slightest variation from optimum took you through the nose or into the 3 pin heavy. I found the inside line to be most playable. I tried my Thing Returns in the second game but found it to be somewhat jumpy and hard to control. I had the most success with my Retro Res but like I said, the speed was super critical as well as the accuracy as always. We won all eight and were sitting in 5th at the start of the night, so we should be sitting pretty next week. See ya'

Tuesday I shot 22x - 22x - 19x = 63x. Everyone seems to have shot a bit better, other than one or two people who really don't seem to have a clue. Not sure if the pattern is softer or (maybe?) we're all figuring out how to bowl a little.

I'm finally finished with the 33-foot pattern. With a mix of the Trauma and the Red Pearl Hammer, I shot 192-167-169/528. My bonus games were horrible. 143-146. If I have a good week in two weeks I could make my bonus matches even and be batting .500. YAY!

Note: I said two weeks because we have July 5 off -- grillin' and chillin'

Tuesday I bowled in my SPORT shot league. Still searching for the right ball to use. Tried the TOP FUEL and the OnSlaught this week. Although both balls hit well .. getting them to stay consistent was a little too much for me. The OnSlaught had too much of a BACK-END for me and the Top Fuel just wouldn't hold the line. Adjusting is not as simple as it sounds on this condition. Shot 188/174/173=535. Next week I will try the EMERALD GREEN (I've never found a good shot for this ball) and the REMEDY (I don't see this ball working but a fellow bowler suggested trying it).

Although I'm not bowling WELL .. I'm really enjoying the condition .. look forward to the league each week. If you haven't tried it .. I think 90% of you would LIKE it!

It may take a week or two for the enjoyment factor to kick in completely,

So be patient. I feel the same way though, it's a hoot, and after all you're all in the same boat. We currently have only two bowlers out of roughly 60 that are carrying 200.

It was another interesting week. 1st pair 173-139, 2nd pair 182-138. Just lost the line in the 2nd game of each set. One of these weeks...

Out of 40 people, we have 6 guys over 200 (the highest is 212, and that's the guy that shot 298 two weeks ago).

I'd have to say, a lot of the scoring may have to do with the surface and oil type you're bowling on as well as the pattern. We have some really good bowlers in our league and I already gave you the numbers. I've personally had only one 600 so far out of 8 weeks, and I won $50 for high set and last game jackpot that night with 608 I think. I'm sure there is a wide range of difficulty that we may be dealing with between areas.

One other thing, as far as the breakdown on the second game scores. It seems like you sometimes have to think opposite of normal conditions in ball changes. In other words with some of the heavier oil patterns, you have to go more aggressive as the night goes on due to transition instead of less aggressive like you would on a house shot that is burning up.

a difficult condition. On a changing sport condition
this summer, at the Gold Coast, only four out of 72 of
the best bowlers in Vegas average over 200, none over
215. If any of your bowlers are coming to Vegas next
week for the amateur tournaments, they should win them
if they are that good.

Jimmy, my average in this league is under 180. I've shot 650 once, 63X once. Also shot a couple of 4somethings. Trust me it is sport compliant - the league average is 169; including a regional pro who normally shoots 23+ on the ths. Week before last he shot 489 (and he is the laneman). Thing is, even though the house is relatively new (about 2 years) there seems to be some pretty noticeable discrepancy between lanes and how they play. Every time I'm on the upper end I shoot better scores than on the lower end, and I think that's true for most. Be convinced or not, it is a sport compliant shot - I think you made some assumptions about who is averaging what which are wrong. No one is going to Vegas, with the possible exception of one guy. Look for a short guy with a long name - Rich Broderhausen. Look for him at the pay window, I'd just about guarantee he'll cash if he goes.

JimmyT, Broderhausen did go to Vegas. So far he's up $2000 in the only sweeper he's bowled. Yep, just another house hack.

Finally, a taste of some success after two abominable weeks of failure. In our PBA league, I was able to muster 222-203-209 on PBA pattern C last night. It may turn out to be the high series for the week

Well, this is the first time I've actually reported my scores.
Other than one week with a game of 238, followed by two 160 games, I've had a remarkably horrible scoring summer.

Last night, however, bowling on the us open shot, I had games of 211 (one open - a 4-9), a CLEAN 184, then a rough 155 with 3 missed spares. This was the first night we bowled on this shot (changes every 4 weeks), and although my scores weren't huge, I think they were close to high for the entire league!
The transition was puzzling, to say the least.

Anyone got any hints on this shot? I was in at 11 at the arrows, with 2 boards swing, with my Black Cherry Bomb. Had a great look until the transition hit.

Well,

I figure I better get this over with

Shot horrible yesterday, had a 428 (yes 428)
GOt beat by the blind bowler (450)
Shot a 94 (no, this is not bowling slang for 194), 147 and 187.
Last game was for pride because I was wasn't going to let Kendog sweep
me all 3 games.

PAttern was simple, it was just the bowler. short oil, OOB outside the 10,
and no pull room in te middle. Bad combo if you missed last week, and haven't bowled in 2 weeks. IT was hard to figure out the pattern when you were stiff
and inconsistant. By the time I got loose it was to late the damage was done.
By the 3rd game, I could have went 3 more, and probably shot about mid 500.

Kendog did good had a 207 167 181 555.
We would be deadly if we could get on the same page
