splits suck
« on: October 01, 2005, 02:08:25 PM »
hmm lets see. today i didnt throw any practice shots and in my first game i had 9 strikes. the only bad thing was that i had 3 opens, guess what they were all splts. pocket 5 7, a pocket 8 10 then a wash out last shot of the tenth. i ended up with a 226. in the other 2 games i through 4 pocket 5 7s and 3 pocket 8 10s. it was weird, this kid on my team throws a pastic ball around the same line i throw, so instead of moving left as the games went on i had to move right and play straighter. this is also what lead to my pocket splits. im not complaing though, i still had a great day.

Have you ever bowled on mendez pins??? They have a magnet on the top of each pin were i bowl everyone has pocket 5-7 and 5-10 splits. You can and will leave pocket 5 pins also, it can make a 700 a good night and no one averages over 233. In fact anyone over 220 is ex touring pro or top amatuer level bowlers, Dave Wodka etc. most higher average bowlers do not dare to bowl league here if they want there ego's to stay inflated.

I suggest the bowling general should come bowl the pba regional next august, we will see how good you really are. You can come experience the nice pocket 5-7's for yourself, or come bowl me for bragging rights when you come to vegas next time. We will see how big the pocket is too you then
