Well, fellow Trackers, I finally have some decent news to share. I shot 244, 222, and 240 for a nice 706 last night. I actually was playing up the 3-5 area, whereas I normally cross arrows around 15-17 and hit 8-10 at BP. Up the ditch is normally OOB and a be Channel Surfer. There was enough oil to play my Animal, which I love to use. The shot was tricky in practice, as I could still skate past the BP with the Aninmal. I tried the Rule and had a clean look from outside. I must say, I wasn't impressed with my Rule initially, and haven't put a whole lot of games on it. I made a surface adjustment and found the condition she likes. I shot a 266 against my Dad with it (X,open, 10 bagger).
The bummer is, of course, the first game I whiffed a 10 pin (actually had two opens I think). The second game I came through the nose in the tenth and opened with the 2,4,8,10 (which I barely missed converting) and ruined a 258. The third game I was thinking 300. Front 4, then heavy leaving the 3,4,6,7,10 (which I converted), but went like 8/ 9/ before striking again for the 240. I'm pleased with the 706 series, but it's also still frustrating to know it could have been that much better.
Could someone donate a 15# GP2 to the cause? I really want one of these, but the wallet isn't havin' it!!!
