I've always loved my X-Factor, but now that everything's fixed and I can actually throw the ball how and where I want to, it's perfect. Nice little down and in line straight up 8 at about 17.5 mph and 300 rpms. Revs up great, solid in the pocket and carries very well. I have an excel program that I use to keep track of my weekly bowling (compiles scores and breaks them down into averages, composites for all leagues, average for the week, etc.), and when everything clicked this year, I've been keeping track of my scores. The last 6 weeks I've averaged 232.5 early on Tuesday nights, 199 late on Tuesday nights (haven't had a ball match up well at my late house, should be fixed now) and 236.7 early on Thursday nights. Tuesday and Thursday early are both at the same house, obviously. The X doesn't hook enough to use late on Tuesday at the synthetic house, I have a lot of over/under, and the carry is horrible. Like I said, bad matchup.
I recorded my league high last night of 781 with games of 276-278-227. Going for 290 the first game, caught track burn on the 11th shot. Front 5 next game, absolutely terrible shot for 8/, then a big move (5 boards left on both lanes with my feet), off the sheet. Last game I ran out of energy. Been working a lot lately, and was already tired when I got there. Had a chance for 8 through 7 frames, and in the 8th I threw what I thought was a great shot that just bit early. One more strike that game was all I'd have needed. Spares in the 2nd, 6th, and 8th did me in. Right lane wasn't playing fair, lol. Figured out I was walking too slow, and corrected it in the 8th, but like I said, it jumped on me. Drilled a Depth Charge last night for the Tuesday late house, that should do the trick. Thanks for reading.
