Bowl tomorrow
« on: April 18, 2012, 11:05:22 PM »
As i am sitting in Charlotte waiting for my connection to Baton Rouge, I am still not sure what my game plan is. I am bowling with a team of individuals that are there for fun and dont care about how they bowl, because none of them think they can score....so "Team" play is out....
 
So do I just get left of all of them and pray?  They are all strokers, low rev 170-180 THS avg bowlers.....They are gonna spray the ball all over, the good thing is anything left of 12 is way deep to all of them...lol
I just want to score for my personal happiness....Shot 1836 last year, first year since 1996 going to Nationals. Just want to beat that!



My Arsenal:


Nano.............................55x4.25x45..........500/2000
Taboo Jet Black.............55x4x70.............4000
Nomad Solid..................50x4.5x70.........4000
Versamax........................65x5x30...............OB
Chainsaw SOS................45x5.25x40........OB, 4000 polished
Taboo Spare...................50x4x30.............OB

I would leave the Nano (too strong) and the polished in the bag.

Go with the mid-performance balls.

Hit your mark and make your spares.

Good luck.  Had the same situation with my team. 

I used a polished the first day and too strong a ball the second day. 

Struggled to a 1550.

Well I bowled Team on Thursday and Doubles and Singles on Friday. WOW what a lesson i got!
 
On the Fresh in team I was totally lost.  Everything I had seemed to jump to hard and it was split city Game 1. Game 2 ,I started to get a better look for the first three frames and then, Bam gone! Now I either had a ball that was too early or too strong off the dry.
You definitely need to break the lanes down together as everyone has stated! I bowled with a bunch of guys that sprayed the ball all over and never really had a chance.....450 in team!
 
Doubles started well. 217, 211 to start, throwing my trusty old Nomad Solid at 4000, had a guy on the pair throwing a new Train all over the lane and by game three the shot was gone, back to starting too early or  sliding past the break....135 game three for a whopping 563....
 
Singles I decided to go way left....stood 35, played 22 at arrows and 10 at break with a polished Veramax.....when I hit the spot it was great, miss a hair and I mean a hair and split city again.
Splits, Splits Splits.....530
 
A wonderful 1548 for the tourney......I was amazed at how tough it was and how much I missed. 21 splits in 9 games....lol
 
I did bowl the 40 frame game and enjoyed it! It was fun and I shot 1058 which was real good including what would have been a 299 for the last 12 frames....
 
Overall, I am disappointed in my execution and definitely learned a few lessons. I will be in Reno next year!
