Game 1: 182
Started off in practice throwing the ball well, but hurt my neck shoulder. The game seemed well enough off, but the ball wasn't finishing and I couldn't get any carry and I missed two 10-pins out of frustration. I was throwing the New Breed Particle Pearl and it didn't seem like the ball was burning up early, but just not driving. I needed to strike out in the 10th frame to win the match for our team, but after another first shot 10-pin it didn't happen. After converting I was torn on wether to throw a different ball for practice, but decided to stick it out.... wrong move and only filled with 7.
Game 2: 300
I started this game with a new ball and a guess on how it would react. I grabbed the New Breed Pearl (more length and angle by coverstock and drilling) and I went to work. This match is sorta of a blur so here is what I remember. I threw three absolute garbage shots. Two were brooklyn where I tugged the ball and the last was just really really light. Aside from that though everything was pretty good including the dramatic 12th ball. I hit pocket and the 10 stood saluting me, I looked down and missed two messengers come moving at a turtle speed across the deck to drop out the 10th. This was my first sanctioned 300 and man was it insane. I'm sure I looked like a wind sock up on there shaking on the approach in the 10th.
Game 3: 171
Between all the celebrating, free beer, paper work, etc I just wasn't in this. I wanted to do well, but just couldn't focus and I was being repaid for the bad shots in the 300 game. I left a pocket 7-10 as well as another pocket split and some other random garbage on seemingly good shots.
So a 653 me, not great, but that elusive first 300!

In addition I've been in the hunt a couple of times since then missing the 300 three times in the last month by singular wobbling 10-pins.
