My USBC tourney experience. (updated)
« on: June 02, 2008, 09:56:42 AM »
Had the best experience this year.  Was very happy to finally get to bowl with regular league team.  Shot the best I have ever done.  I managed to use my 1000 grit label drilled Black Widow all thru the entire 9 games.  


Well here is the whole story now that I am in town.  This was the most playable USBC I have ever been at.  The shot in the team was tight, but hitable. Both teams broke them down the way everyone was saying. Throwing around 7-10.   I started playing a tight line with very little hand, and very smooth consistent roll.  Was playing right around 15 to about 10, I managed to stay in the same area all three games.  Everyone else was either to the right or left of me.  So everyone kept pushing the oil toward my shot, so it never broke down. Games of 229, 237, and 212.  Last game I tricked myself, into thinking the shot had moved, so I made a move.  Was the wrong move, and then after four frames of not so hot reactions.  I moved back to the same spot I was in.   Series:678  Team:3076

Doubles. I figured since I had such a good reaction with during team, I gambled and went straight back to the same area I was playing, 15 to 10.  I struggled with getting to area of the lane I wanted to play.   I moved my feet in to about 20.  Was going 20 to 10, smooth with the release and made sure not too over hit the ball.  As long as I did not send the ball to far out early, I was fine.  That line held up till the third game when I starting moving in deeper to about 35, put keeping the same break point.  I go 213, 199, 211.
Series:623  Doubles:1118

Singles.  Figured I would start in the same area of the lane, 35 to 10.  Ball barely made it back to the head pin.  So time to move the feet back right again.  Go to 25, using that same break point of 10.  Ball rolled great.  Toward the end of the second game, had to move the feet back left.  Figured I would go to 30, and split the difference of the last set and this set.  Was locked in.  Nothing but 4's and 10's. The rest of the way.  225, 220, 232.
Series:677

All Events:1978

John,

Really solid bowling.

Just wondering, if you were in a lot of brackets?
I think you would have made out very well.

Congrats, again....

Typically I never have bowled well at USBC's so the first day I did not get into any.  My mistake.....  Second day I just got into 5 and 5 for doubles and singles.  Another mistake, I go with a strong squad, in the doubles brackets, I made about 150 bucks, on top of the 50 I put in.  For singles I lost 30 bucks on the 50 I put in.  I am just looking forward to a nice payday at the end of the tourney!

If you knock down 10 pins always smile,no matter how they fell. An X on the 1st ball is 1 step closer to 300.
