11-Game Block

[BlackWidow95]

I had a great outing.. I decided to go to the lanes and get some well needed practice in.. I was solely concentrating on hitting my mark everytime, picking up spare and also on using my Widow, Vibe and NV..

I know it was just practice and on house conditions, but after a few games you have to adjust, no matter what condition your bowling on.. Once again my Widow was the goto ball.. That ball hits harder and is much more predictable than my Vibe and NV, although I bowled a whole game with the other too..

If I hit the pocket with my Widow it seems like it strikes everytime, with my Vibe its most of the time and my NV, well maybe half the time..

Anyways, I did great on stringing strikes together and on picking up my spares..

11 Game Set = 2,376 pins!!

Like I said it was only on house conditions, but you still have to adjust.. 4 games in the 250's!!

How does your hand feel after bowling 11 games? Any sore fingers?

I bowled 3 games in league and then practiced for about an hour on Viper on Tues night. The sides of my thumb were getting a little sore. The top of thumb was also hurting a little. Right now (Thursday morning) thumb looks pretty good (for my thumb).

Just wondering.

Nice scoring. I have been told not to be too concerned with scores when you practice. :cool:

forget the hand.....my arms and shoulders would have fallen off....

not to mention my back from having to hold up my fat a$$

LOL

Nice scoring bro

I practiced 4 games last night, focussing on hitting mark and a stable release - watching for pap movement, didn't do as well as the lane were just shot, but did find out that my widow isn't quite drilled right....

I have a pronounced wobble with the BW which I couldn't reduce with changing hand motions....

needless to say, about time for a plug and re-drill (which I will do once my Toxic comes in)

Hopefully you kill the place tonight....Are you in VT this week?

[BlackWidow95]

No, I'm not in VT this week.. By the way, I didn't go into practice concerned about scores, I just wanted to cover all the spares that weren't splits and also hit my mark every time.. After my first 4 games of 200+, I was like WOW.. I never really concentrated to hit my mark everytime in League this year, like I just threw it and knew I had a 5-10 board Margin of Error. Now I realize going into the PBA League that I have to hit my mark and I did that very well!! I went right over 10, then moved to 5, then worked my inside game shooting at about 13-16.. I was hitting my mark ALMOST everytime.. I also worked on putting more and less hand into my release.. All and all it was a great practice and my scores kinda reflected that.. I only missed one 10 pin and it was the first frame of the first game..

I was proud of my consistency!!

Great work. Even though it was on a THS you are correct, you still need to adjust and be consistent. Looks like you're ready for the large game tournaments, it's impressive to put that many games in a row and average over 200.

[BlackWidow95]

Funny thing, I don't even feel like I bowled.. No fatigue or wear and tear at all..

I bowled in a 20 game midnight marathon scratch tournament last Friday/Saturday, and just had some "tougher" callouses on my finger tips. But, no other problems.

at 39, I bowled 24 games in a day, came back the next day and bowled 4 more 12 pins per game over my average and the next day, 6 more which were 18 pins per game over my average. trying to bowl a lot in a day forces me to be smoother and less 'herky-jerky' if you will. Anyone who hasn't tried to knock out 10 games in a row should, find a lane that offers a $1 game special on sunday am or something and knock yourself out.
