Last night was not as productive as I would have hoped.  It was the first night of the Cheetah pattern.  I figured out the shot I needed to use pretty early in the night but I couldn't reproduce a shot to save my life.  I know now that this league will defiently help me become a more accurate bowler.  I bowled really bad and we only one a few points so there is not much left to say.  I am going to pick myself up and move on to Thursday night and try to continue the upward climb I am making on that league.

I haven't posted in a little while I was busy.  We started Tuesday in 4th place for the posistion round and ended Tuesday in 4th place so I guess no harm no foul.  I didn't bowl that good on the last night of the shark but I defiently improved over the 9 weeks.  I am excited to move onto the cheetah pattern next week.  I am hoping the pattern will be more conducive to my straighter style.  Thursday night I was finally able to put a good series together and I am extremely happy about that.  I felt good from the first ball and the scores reflected it.  We moved up a few spots because we won 5 out of 7 and the entire team bowled well for a change.

Tuesday (PBA) 157-192-152=501

Thursday 267-212-203=682

Last night went better than last week with out a doubt.  I started off using my black widow pearl which as usual didn't react much on the shark pattern.  Half way through the game I decided to try something drastic so I pulled my Storm El Nino out of the bag.  This ball is about ten years old.  It was the right move because I finished the first game strong and had the best game of this league on the second game.  The third game I lost my line and was not able to find it back so I went back down but I finished well above my average for the night and we won 27 out 36.  That should put us back near the top and next week is the first posistion round.  Next week is the last week of the shark pattern so I am looking forward to moving on to the cheetah.

155-225-167=547 (182 average on the night)

Bad night last night, pretty much sums up how it went.  We were in first place at the beginning of the night but that will change.  Nobody on our team could get anything going where the other team could not miss.  They were bowling 20, 30, 40, 50 pins over their average.  I bought a new pair of shoes this week and should have practiced with them before league night but that would have made too much sense.  I couldn't get comfortable until the last game but by then it was already too late.  We lost all 7 and I am sure we fell out of the top 5 maybe even the top 10.  It is early in the year so I am not too worried about it but, no one likes to take that kind of beating.

148-169-258=575 (actually bowled my current average of 191) 

Decided to practice this Sunday morning because the games are $1 a piece.  I bowled 5 games and scored really well.  I think my game is finally coming back after starting the PBA X league.  I felt like I could repeat shots and had the confidence I need in order to bowl well.  I also found out that we are now tied for first place on our Thursday night league so I am excited about that.  We finished the summer league on Thursday in first place so I glad to see we made it back on top after a slow start.  Here are my practice scores for Sunday I know it is just practice but I am excited about the confidence building.
