Wish me luck.

Back in January, it was my first try for a JOG qualifier, I was a bit overwhelmed and ended up shooting a 158 average (which put me in about 10 out of 15).

Last weekend I think I pulled a muscle in my forearm two days before, and I was having a problem with it. I managed to shoot a couple of 200+ games (233, highest of the day), but only averaged a 168 even with those.

Today I have no excuses. All of the "better" bowlers have qualified, but I know I'll still have to bowl my butt off. I think I figured out the shot after last week, though who knows if they're changing it today. I was stubborn last week and tried to play near the OOB, but I was having a consistency issue and I couldn't get the ball to the pocket consistently. By the fifth game, I decided to play through the middle and swing the ball with more side roll than usual. My Tropical Storm shined . I'll try a similar line today in the beginning with my Blue Vibe, then switch to the Trop when it starts to break down (as you can tell, it's a dry, short sport shot).

Wish me luck! These 10 game qualifiers are hell!
