Thanks!
1/19
bowling (I pre bowled this morning because I'm going to the Wolves game on Monday night)
178 222 178 = 578. ugh.
Two things really messed me up:
- last Monday, there was a loose screw or something on the pair I was bowling on that put some nicks in both of my new balls. They weren't serious or anything, but significant enough to have them repaired. The guy who fixed them put a shine on the ball that was supposed to be dull.
My pearlized ball wasnt working at all, and the dull ball wasnt normal because of that. I talked to the guy after the 6th frame of the 2nd game and he roughed it up a bit so it was back to normal. I threw 7 strikes in a row after that.
- The lanes were really bad this morning - worse than I've ever bowled on at this house. I found out afterwards that they have a full house on Wednesday nights, then they offer free open bowling after the leagues. All that bowling the night before really messes up the lanes bad for Thursday morning - they dont strip & oil the lanes til ~5:30pm. The heads were drier than normal and the back ends had patches of oil all over.
When I got my ball dulled up, I had about a 1 board area where I would carry, but that was about it.
NEVER PRE BOWL ON THURSDAY MORNING THERE AGAIN!!!!
avg now 212.62 after 60 games. I'm really pissed about this now, but at least I know for the future.
