Bowled like garbage today
« on: March 03, 2007, 06:07:12 AM »
Lanes were so screwed up today it wasn't funny. I was switching between my Doom and BW. First game I was able to salvage a 169. Second game I was able to get makeable spares and got a few strikes for a 208. Third game no matter where I threw the ball, I could not find the pocket until the 7th or 8th frame and shot a terrible 158. I couldn't believe the conditions the lanes were in today. The lanes were breaking down so fast that I had to move to a different spot about every 5 frames. I've never seen lanes break down like that. My average dropped to a 189 I think. Hopefully I can come back next week and shoot a 700 or something.

Was it cold outside or warm? If it's warm, the oil has a tendency to be more fluent and create carrydown faster, plus leaving other places around the lane with lesser oil all of which create havoc. If it was cold, then the oil tends to be viscous meaning the oil won't move as much as soon. That leads to very dry backends ends at the beginning and lots of oil about the rest of the lane with no real "track" being created.

and i thought i was the only one that could bowl bad.Its like that for me every friday night. I cant tell if the lanes sre oily or fried. i just know that nothing i do works. I was trying to use my no mercy and the lanes had no mercy on it. I was either high or light  .Leave a ten pin move right and go thru the nose. move left and wash out. Go to a weaker ball and leave the ten pin . So most friday nights i spend playing the which ball which grip which line game until the nights over and i have shot 400. I am bowling so bad it hurts.My games last night;163,121,147. I look like i am trying to bowl bad i bowl so bad.

I go thru those periods of shooting only around 520-550 for a few weeks but then I get outta them. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll start bowling better soon. Oh and to answer the last question, it was cold outside.

It was cold outside, but the lanes had more oil downlane towards the beggining and then in about the end of 2nd game the lanes were the opposite, the first 35 feet had oil but then the last 25 feet had almost none. I couldn't really figure anything out until about the last game in the 8th frame with my Black Widow when I strung 2 strikes in the 8th and 9th, then in the tenth, I threw my Black Widow almost dead flush and left a ringing ten. I missed the ten with my Doom, I threw it right at the 10 from cross lane and the Doom missed the ten pin probably about an inch left of the ten, I couldn't believe it because my Doom usually doesn't curve when I throw it straight at a 10 pin except for that last shot at the ten pin.

I bowled terrible today. The shot was hitable, not that easy, but it was easy enough for me. All was wrong with me was.. ME! haha. Yep, i admit. I was the one bowling bad, NOT the ball! haha.. if anyone is wondering my series.. 438 baby!

.. i get lanes after league and shoot 561 .. *sigh*

i think it hates me every week. I can go in any one of several bowling alleys around my house and find a very playable line. Ok this isnt a league shot ,but it is still bowling and if i can find a shot in practice why cant i find one in league.
