I'd love to have that carry percentage and that number of good pocket hits for a series. Trouble is, the stupid lane oil patterns steer so many horrible shots back into the pocket area that you sometimes get false readings on how good you are executing. Tug a little and it sails on the oil, chicken wing it outside and it comes screaming back, overturn it and pow, another pocket hit. Too much ball, not enough, wrong line, wrong speed, bad luck, how can you tell quickly? All I know is some nights they fall real easy on some questionable hits and some nights you can't buy a double. Takes a whole lotta beer to calm down after a one open 570 something series and the one open was a low pocket seven-ten. Too many times it goes something like this; five in a row on the odd lane and nine, nine, nine, nine, nine spare nine on the even lane with a 10, a 4 a 7, a 9 and a couple more 10s for good measure. Every time you make an adjustment a different pin stands. You know something ain't right, but what is it? I guess that's just the way it goes now with the funnel to the pocket oil patterns.
