Not a great night scorewise, but it was a solid night of throwing the ball. The scores are very decieving as compared to the way I bowled. My carry was horrible. I left every pin in the back row at least twice during the night. I kept hitting pocket, but had no luck at all.
Game 1: 205 - Threw a no tap in this game. Had 1 open frame, but no doubles. Was in the pocket on every shot.
Game 2: 195 - Went clean this game, but just couldn't get a strike. I only carried three strikes in this game and only missed the pocket twice.
Game 3: 216 - Got off to a good start after an adjustment. In the 7th I left a pocket 7-10 which really killed the game, and broke up my string at the same time. Then the nines came again. I was fortunate enough to strike out in the 10th. One open in this game also.
Series: 616 - It's not the worst series, but at the same time it could have been so much better. Only 2 opens all night and barely broke 600. It just wasn't my night.
The thing that is so confusing to me is that in my Tuesday league is that I can't seem to carry at all, and as a result I am only averaging 192. Well below my usuall average. On the flip side, on Thursday night. I throw the same shot with the same ball, on some of the same lanes, and I carry so much better. So much so, that I am carrying a 216 average, which is more of where I was last year. I just don't understand why Tuesday is the way it is. It really has me puzzled. Hopefully I can get back to last years form as far as carry goes so I can better help the team.










Two weeks ago I suffered the same carry problems you did last night. I have never hit the pocket so hard and not carry all the pins. I also know what you mean about getting your average where it used to be. I am struggling to get back to where I was only a few weeks ago in the summer. I am no expert by any means but I think that night I had horrible carry I know I was squeezing the ball and that normally leads to horrible carry. Maybe there is something on Tues. that is causing you to squeeze. Good luck tonight!
