I hate this game...
« on: June 26, 2008, 02:45:13 PM »
I bowled in my summer league today and started off the first game bowling straight down the 9 board with my T-Road Solid.  I was getting erratic carry and I missed a couple of easy spares.  I ended up with a 201.  

I decided to move in and play a hook shot instead of stroker 'down and in' shot I was using the first game.  I switch to my Gravity Shift and stood at 28 and threw out to 13 at the arrows - couldn't stop striking flush hits.  I threw the first 9 and BURIED the 10th and left a stone 8.  Threw the last strike for 279.  OK I thought, last ball was just a bit high so I moved my feet to 30th board and my mark to the 14th board at the arrows.  Threw the first 9 again (all buried).  10th ball come off my hand and I am very happy with it... ringing 10.  In frustration I took out my T-Road Solid and threw it straight down 10 board for a crushing strike.  Back to back 279s.

I hate this game.

It's a good sign when you bury 100% of your shots in the pocket.  I wouldn't be tooooo angry

I am being sarcastic to a certain extent, but I'm also getting a bit frustrated since I still don't have a sanctioned 300.  I have thrown as many as 10 in practice and non-sanctioned tourneys - but no USBC or PBA 300s.  I had 2 in my hands last night and they both slipped away.

I get that I'm whining, but isn't that what this forum is for
