Well, the carry fairy sat on my shoulder tonight!
« on: September 18, 2003, 10:24:29 AM »
I've been whining for the last couple weeks about carry.
I tried something different tonight - I backed waaay off the ball, coming out of it pretty much on the side.

280-289-242 - 811!!! The first SANCTIONED one!!!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!

I'll quit whining now. At least for a while.

Way to go mumzie. Shooting 800 is a great accomplishment..

Are you going to bowl in Reno on the 4th & 5th?

Congrats! I shot my first 800 5 weeks ago! There's nothing like it!

And tonight I shot 779 (234, 279, 266). That would have been my 2nd one in 5 weeks! But I missed it by 21 PINS. I was using a Mass Chaos (treated with Doc's Elixer) for the 779 and 800.

Ooops, sorry to hijack your post...



Pss... what ball were you using? I hope you will shoot big with my ScreamR when you get it!

I was using my Deuce. The one I thought had died.
I took your guys suggestions, and deep cleaned it and hit it hard with a scotchbrite - I guess it came back tonight, huh?

Awesome!  Congratulations.  I guess all of us who can't do taught you something.  If I can't throw one myself, I want part of one somehow.

Great job!  Final justice, now I hope I have your kind of night next week!

HAH!  I don't know ANYBODY now!

Being in adult leagues teaches you many things.  

1.  You're not on top anymore, but there are a lot more people that suck worse than you do now.  

2.  The myth about the youths having an easier shot is NOT TRUE.  I'd have an entire ring collection if it was.  

3.  Drunk adults are a lot funnier than drunk youths.
