I bowled June 1/2, and averaged 215 last year(THS).
Team - 505 - I bowled team with a brand new ball and shoes(Full Throttle($139 drilled) & Linds Exxtras), as Amtrak decide to send my bowling balls hither and yon, instead of to Reno. It took me a couple games to get comfortable with the shoes, and I had to work out the thumb a bit, so I wasn't too disappointed with my score.
Doubles - 556(partner had 611)
Singles - 572
One of my bags showed up in time for D/S. Luckily, it was the one with my shiny equipment(Thing & SS Pearl) and my wrist brace. I pretty much got what I deserved, overall.
The best line was definitely inside of 10. Anyone trying to play out further had zero margin for error. The lanes were not very forgiving in team, and were little better in D/S. Getting to the pocket was not too difficult, but carrying it was another story. My partner was hitting the pocket consistently, but left a wide variety of back-row spares; then he'd try something a little different, and wind up with something really ugly. I wasn't very consistent, so I can't really complain about my performance.
One of my bags never showed up, so Amtrak is looking for it now, all the way up and down the route. I hope it turns up someday. If not, Amtrak is buying me some new equipment.
