Used a Hawg Wild in the 2nd game tonight for a solid 290.....flanked by two pathetic 170--somethings!

This is the first time I've ever shot so poorly in two games and posted an award score in the series. It was also the first time I used the Hawg Wild in league and only the 3rd time I'd ever thrown it. Not sure what happened in the last game....nothing would carry and left alot of splits/washouts.

Pretty pathetic to shoot 290 and come away with only a 635 series.

Don't get too down on yourself...that 290 is nothing to sneeze at.  Now you've got that 290 in there, you'll do better next time.  Whether it was an equipment thing or just not concentrating, I think you'll do fine next time.

Thanks guys. I've been struggling lately in this league and even though I'm still averaging 221 it hasn't been a very pretty picture the last few weeks. It's a scratch league that bowls AFTER the Juniors so the shot is a bit broken down.

What irks me is that I'm in the pocket but my carry is horrible (fast 10's, solid 8's or 9's, fast 7's, etc, etc). The backend is just too wicked. So, I get frustrated and the fundamentals go down the tube (missing easy spares etc.).

I'm going to try some weaker coverstocks/drillings and reduce my revs a bit so the ball isn't ripping through the pocket.
