Rotogrip Challenge:
Day 1: 7th place cash for $110.
--Fresh oil at 5pm, played right up 5/6 with my Anger.
Day 2: Winner for $330 plus $48 for high game.
--Little drier, played the same place with my shiny Bite.

Team:
I shot 650 with my BW bites. I started out playing up 7 for two frames. I wasn't happy with my reaction so I took a huge step left with my shiny widow bite and shot 216 the first game. I made a ball change to my dull widow bite the next game for 227. I never moved my feet, stood 25 and played 18 to 13. Best of all!
30 clean frames

Doubles/Singles:
The team on our doubles pair was playing the lanes the same as I did during team. The teams on the singles pair were all over the place and spraying it to boot.

I started with my dull BW bite but couldn't get it down the lane, so I switched to my shiny Bite and found a good look. I start with 226 and followed it with a 258 with 2 opens. The last game I started getting the ball into the swing early and struggled to a 191....for 675 in doubles.

The singles pair was super tight, I even flagged a 5 pin.....couldn't believe it didn't hook. It took 7 frames to find the proper ball and line, which again brought me to my shiny Bite. I start with another 191 and follow with another 258 as the lanes open up alittle. The next game the lanes started hooking, I kept chasing it left but had two opens for 188.....639 for singles.

All events was 1962.

No, my team wasn't exactly......competitive, thats what I'll say. The second highest series of the team was 488, with nobody less than 207 in average.

I did bowl Reno last year, the approaches are alittle tackier and the there is more backend and better carry.

I didn't hear about that....

But, some guy drop some serious cash. He put himself in EVERYTHING to the max, probably a grand or 1200. He shot 110 the first game..... Welcome to sport bowling.
