Okay last week in my Wednesday I leave the 4-10 split in the 9th & 10th frames of game 2.  I open with another 4-10 split and some other split in the 3rd frame of the 3rd game.  At this point I take off my glasses and decide to bowl without them.  i didn't want to SEE the splits.  Surprise, no more splits and I finish with my high game for the night.

This week I am working on a new release and am doing well.  One of the guys from the opposing team comes by and asks why the glasses are on.  I told him I was doing well, he looks at the monitor and agrees.  Fast forward to game 3.  I open with 3 splits in a row.  He again comes by and I told him it was almost time to remove the glasses.  Another split in the 5th and off come the glasses.  A strike and zero splits the remainder of the game.  I pull out a 166.  I should have taken the glasses off sooner.

So the new adjustment to get out of splits is to not be able to see

I think you are right.  In fact we had this conversation last night.  I bowl a 2nd shift league that is supposed to start at 9 PM, but usually gets going around 9:15 - 9:30.  Game 3 starts around 10:45 or so.  My friend said I may be focusing too hard.  As I get tired, I may begin to focus harder on target.  Once the glasses were off I told her she was probably right and without the classes I can't over focus.  Rather than a 3 board area it becomes a much wider area.

She asked what board I was hitting, I told her somewhere around 10, + or - 5
