Week 2 of the Viper Pattern was better for me than week 1 was. On Thursday, I bowled in an adult - jr. league with my daughter. I tried a different set up, to try to increase my ball speed. I found something that worked, so I tried it tonight on the Viper. At first it was a struggle, but I hung in there and kept making adjustments. I definately found something to work with.

Game 1 : 160 - Not the greatest game, but I kept adjusting throughout and finally hit on a shot in the 10th. The only bad thing was that I missed a 10 pin in the 8th frame and it cost me the game. (by 3 pins)

Game 2 : 245 - Started with the first 5 then 9/ and the next 3. Pushed the ball to wide in the 10th. I was thinking 279, but I got ahead of myself and the Viper bit me.

Switched Lanes

Game 3 : 216 - A good game, but had 2 open frames. by the 8th the lanes were starting to go away

Game 4 : 173 - Started this game with 2 opens then threw the next three. That is when the lanes really went away. I was still hanging on but in the 10th, I threw a split on the first ball, and that killed my chance of getting another 200 game.

Averaged 198 for the night. Missed averaging 200 by 6 pins. I was very happy with what I found tonight. Looking forward to next week, now that I have a good starting point. One more week on the Viper. Hope I can have a strong finish before we change to the Chameleon
