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.
Had a night last night that was finally work writing about. It was not anything near the summer league when I was bowling 700's every other week but, I will take a bright spot when I can get one. The team jumped from 10th place to 2nd and we won 5 out of 7 last night keeping us in second. I was throwing the ball well last night compared to weeks past but had a few issues with carry. Left a lot of stone 7's on some heavy hits in the pocket. Anyway, I am happy to start making a come back from the slump I have been in for a month or so. Made up my mind I need to buy some new shoes I was cheap with the last pair I bought and the consistency of my slide has suffered.
I think I am starting to come out of the slump I fell like I have been in for a few weeks now. Not only has my PBA average been falling my regular league average has gone way down since the start of the fall league. Last night I was able to put two games in the books that were above my average and the average for the night was higher than my current average. That was alot of the word "average" in one sentence. Anyway, we won 24 out of 36 last night and we played the first and second place teams so we should move up the ladder a little from 9th place. On to Thursday night that is where I will know if the slump is ending.
Last night I finally came out of my slump alittle. I am not going to say that I am free and clear but at least I threw two games that were 200's. I was finally able to have control over myself and throw the ball the way I wanted to. The PBA League has been fun but it has been really hard to separate the two leagues. I am going to practice my spare shooting this weekend and try to get my game back to where it was before the PBA league started.
200-178-203=581 (not even close to the summer league but I will take the confidence booster) 193 average on the night
Last night was not as bad as last week so that is a step up. I found out after we had finished the games that they had used a lighter blend of oil so the shark pattern was not as bad as usual. I am not too happy about that because if there was one thing I thought the PBA X league would bring it would be consistency. I was sure that we would bowl on the same league conditions for 9 weeks at a time considering there was someone who certifies the lanes before we bowl. Anyway, last night we won 19.5 points so that was a major improvement from the 7.5 we won the week before. I was more consistent and that made me happy.
168-159-173= 500 (not the greatest night by any means but still better than last week)
Now onto Thursday night where I need to get my consistency and my average back.
