Ya ever have one of those nights...
« on: April 10, 2006, 02:40:08 PM »
No, not one of those nights where every spare seems to sneer at you as your ball goes swishing past, but one of those nights when you just have a groove that seems to lead right to the pocket?

Well, tonight was one of those nights; at least, it was one of those nights for 2 games.  I came out of the gate with a 225.  10 shots in the pocket for 5 strikes and five 7 pins.  I was getting to the hole, but carry was obviously lacking.

I made a 2 board adjustment for game 2 and threw the front 8.  A soft shot in the 9th left a washout, which I converted before going X9/ in the 10th for 266.  I made another small adjustment for game 3 and threw the front 3, ring 7, next 7 in a row and finished with a ring 7 in the 12th for a 278.  Totaled 769 on the night.

Every shot just seemed to zero in on the pocket.  It was a little surreal.  19 of my last 23 frames were strikes.  Yeah, it was a cushy house shot, but these kind of evenings make this sport fun.

Pin-nut, Congrats on the good shooting!!
I know exactly what you you're talking about. Happened to me last week on my league and I even commented to my teammates that it felt like my ball was on rails. It makes bowling fun when you have that kind of night.
Now if we can just figure out a way to bottle that kind of mojo.....
