I generally do not spend much time reflecting on things I can not contol, until last night's FUBR night of carry. I do not profess to know it all by any stretch of the imagination, last night was the best example of no luck, no carry and no adjustment or change of equipment seemed to change the out come.
I begin the night with an open, pocket 7-10, no big deal, ball looked good to everyone (except me) I expected a 7 pin, light but there. I throw one other bad ball, a tug leaving the 4-6-7-9, in the third game. I have two opens in thirty frames and flush the pocket the rest of the night and shoot 600. That's right, a 600 series with one frame where I counted 6 pins the rest are all 9 counts, go figure.
I adjusted lines, changed hand positions, changed balls, to no avail. Everyone on out lanes were amazed at how well I threw the ball and could not strike. I have never been so physically drained let alone had an entire night of no carry. It was the hardesat mental challenge I've experienced. I've had nights where I have two excellent games and loose carry in one game, but never to the extent I suffered last night. Sorry for the rant, I needed to vent. Now with this still fresh I'll try again tonight, maybe thirty clean frames and another 600?
Who knows.
