On a scale of 1-10 how much confidence are you taking into this year's tournament and why?
I would say I'm about at a 7, due to shooting just under 650 in singles in Reno last year, and for the first time, I feel like I've been getting in some legitimate work on Nationals type patterns. After bowling on, and struggling on T o C, World Championships, Shark, and the other PBA patterns, I feel like I have a solid idea of what lines will have a serious shot in team event. I may take a look at the gutter, but more than likely, I'll be deep inside, keeping it close to the pocket, or medium deep inside, keeping the breakpoint inside of about 13 or so.......much easier said than done, of course. Much thanks to Dave Wodka for putting out these great patterns to work on in our PBA league......putting the challenge back in the sport!!!
