I want to cry!!!!
Sep. 11th, 2004 10:39 amLast night was the first night of my 3rd season of bowling.
Totally new bowling center, and totally new league.
I don't know if it was a mental thing, or what, but I have set a new high for my bowling. 263 (previous high of 254)!!!
Now...the sad part...
I was well on my way to my FIRST 700. 263, 234 through the first two. Only needed a 207 for a 700.
I managed a 618...but it took all the way into the 10th frame of the 3rd game to get it. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Stupid 121 the 3rd game!
I have mixed feelings about this.
On one hand, I was on a roll.
On the other hand, it's the first week of league. So NOT the time to be bowling like that.
The really funny thing is, this is on a 143 book average! LOL WOOHOO!! 60 pin handicap (90% of 210)!
I did figure out what I was doing wrong. I got into the bad habbit of pulling my thumb out of my ball, and not holding it completely. Less thumb=less revs. Less revs=less carry. That and I haven't gotten used to rolling a REAL spare ball. The fact that it doesn't hook kept escaping me. I need to work on that one a little more over the next few weeks.
