Total = +55
Week 1 summary:
The lanes we bowled on last night are notorious for being oily and low scoring (for me at least). The last time I bowled on this pair, I shot a BIG 148 game
. Well they were oily, but I was determined not to let this pair get the best of me. I tried the Mutant during practice, but did not have a good reaction, so I pulled out the old reliable Freak Out and had a nice down and in shot all night. I started the last game with the first 7, but came in a little high in the 8th and left a 6 pin. The last two frames I left ringing 7 pins and whiffed the spare shot in the tenth. 
Week 2 summary:
I had a slow start last night. My timing and release were off and I struggled the first two games. I used the Freak Out in the first game (playing a little swing shot - 10 to 5) with little success. When I did make a good shot, I left a 7 pin or a 6 pin. I switched to the AU at the end of the first game and moved out to the first arrow. I made better shots as the night went on. The first 9 shots of the last game were all good pocket shots, left one 7 pin in the 3rd and struck in all other frames. I was a little pumped up in the tenth and threw the ball through the breakpoint, leaving the 1,3,9,6. I spared and left another 7 pin on the fill ball.
Week 3 summary:
I used a combination of the Freak Out and Animal Untamed, but my carry was not consistent. I lost count of the 7 pins and I also had two 7-9 splits on what I thought were good shots
. The lanes dried out in the last game and I left several wide-open splits. 
Week 4 summary:
Got my 27 pins back from last week
The lanes were quite oily on the left side tonight so I was able to use the Mutant all three games with only a small adjustment in the third game. I played little swing shot (15 out to around 7-8) with a firm wrist up the back of the ball and better than average speed. My carry was pretty good as long as I kept up the back. If I came around the ball a little, I would leave a seven pin. I also left a few ten pins when I used a little too much speed... Happy New Year to all and to all a good night!

I also thought that we were starting a new tourney every four weeks rather than starting at the beginning of each month. That way you report your scores every week. To keep things straight, loose should lock the previous tourney score thread when that tourney ends (the end of every fourth Sunday).
I think I'll make another thread for this:

Final week: Back on the weird stuff, aw man, shadow had the pair 7 boards different. Couldn't hook on the left and the right one was flying..what happened? I tried to open it up and got paid the price with a 150 something 1st gm and came back just trying to hit the hole for 380ish. Horrible..just horrible. No discipline, shouldn't have tried to kill it, could've probably still grinded 6 out if it. Oh well, at least my avg comes back down for next month..lol
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally! Got back on the great wall!
The shot was pretty nice and I got to use my Rule first 2 games, went 278 and 244 (2 ten pins each game, whiffed one in gm2). Left 2 ringing 10's in gm 3 so I switched to the Xception right away and finished up 225. It helps when your body's not hurting huh?..lol--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second week throwing the Rule and Xception, shot changed. OB 10 out and track burned up quick, got reversed. High on the pair was 600, the 220 (cranker) on the other team kept going 2-8-10, couldn't get up either.
Good luck all!!

That is unfair to some due to the fact that anyone that bowled on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd will have 5 sessions this month. I am one of the lucky ones that would bowl 5 times this month so it isn't that I feel cheated. On the other hand I would feel as though I were cheating others.
I think the 4 week system would work better, that way every one gets equal sessions.

This week went really well. I shot my first 600 in league.
I have been throwing the ball extremly well as of late. I actually have a shot at winning this thing. The only downside is I don't bowl next week My 600 was largly due to my ability to pick my spares. I had only 3 open frames all day. 2 wretched 10 pins and a 4-9 split. Not bad if I do say so myself --------------------

As for the 5 week argument...to clear up the confusion, we use only the first 4 weeks in the month, at least I think that's what we decided on during the initial stages of the planning.

Week 1:
Well.. The first two games consisted of 5 baggers each, then nothing. For some reason I would get a 5 bagger then I was completely unable to strike the remainder of the game. The last game, the shot started to transition a little bit faster than I was looking for which led to a split, but all it all, I was pleased with the evening. My spare shooting went quite well which was what made me the most happy considering it's been pretty poor lately. Threw the AU again all night. This is pretty much my go to ball at this point.
Week 2:
Well.. Week 2 was pretty much a pain in the butt for me.. I went through the first game bowling well (224), then in the 2nd frame of the 2nd game, pulled a groin muscle. Needless to say, I couldn't get down on any shot after that, and I just feel fortunate to have stayed even for the remaining two games. I actually ended up using a different ball tonight than I have been in past weeks (Freak instead of AU), simply because the weather conditions/oil patterns have been so wet/cold that getting the AU to turn over has been like pulling teeth. The Freak starts up MUCH sooner than the AU, giving me a good look.. Just wish I could have thrown it right. This pretty much ends my month, since the next two Mondays are going to be off weeks for me

Week 4 - Ave ___ = ___; Shot ___ ___ ___ = ___
Monthly Total +75
Recap: Week 1
Still bowling in wall hell. Outside bone dry at 12, inside about 80 to 100 units. I have dropped my average 28 pins in 6 weeks since they walled it up like this. Can't figured out. Everything is such an extreme over/under. Bowling great other places. Averaged 213 in a tourney on Pattern E this weekend. Shot 700 in hardest house in the area. But on one of the biggest walls in the country can barely shot 600. Go figure but, I had someone put a huge wall out at one of the local centers to practice on and my Untamed seemed to work well. Made some big changes in my game for this and I hope it doesn't screw everything else up.
Week #2 Recap
Yeah, I am finally out of thr red after nicely dropping my average 30 pins in 6 weeks. What a bad ride I was on. I have been having such majors problems on our leagues huge walled up shot. Tenpinspro and my ball driller gave me so ideas and they worked well. Took an Untamed and sanded it down to 400. Stood on the last dot and forced myself to drift left. Then I threw my Untamed right into the middle of the lane with a slow spin on the ball. Should have been a 300, every shot packed, but 278 is what a game and a half was before. Not bad for not even throwing at a mark. Around the 3rd frame of game 2 the shot started to break down and I would not move until the Untamed took the wall right out of play for everyone. Then, I made the move to the X-Ception. Moved right, looked 45 ft. to board 8 and ripped her right up the back of the ball for a 224. Thanks for the ideas Rick.
Week #3 Recap
Pretty much the same as the week before. I find it amazing that I can throw decent scores like this and not even look at a mark. Getting to know when to switch balls though. Better 2nd game this week and this is the heaviest wall they have had. In reality though bowling like this is no fun. I think that I am going to have to drill something with the pin underneath the fingers. Wish I knew what. Maybe the new Rule Particle. I wish they were drier early cause I love this X-ception.
