Does anyone have your number?

You know how Walter Wray has Pete Webber's number, just wondering if you have an opponent like that.

For me there is a guy in our league let's call him Dave, he's a young guy with good intentions but no filter. (Like you'll have the front 10 and he'll walk up to you put his hand on your shoulder and say "Two more for a 300"). Anyway I average 10 pins higher than Dave, but when he is around I just can't bowl well. I mean I can be rolling against someone else and if I hear his voice I'll dump it in the ditch or miss my mark by 5 boards.

So last night was the final play-offs for our scratch match play league. First game I'm up against Dave. I just got my big block resurfaced and rejuvinated and took it to 1000 polished but it wasn't ready for the fresh lanes so I was switching between the NMB and Hawgzilla. But I couldn't find my rhythm, balance or hit my mark, finally switched to the big block in the 8th frame. Every open got me more frustrated and I lost the match 149 to 206.

So Game 2 and 3 I relax and I'm now rolling against other opponents (our play off work like a tournament where you move lanes and roll different opponents each game) and shoot a 221 and 206. Now the 4th game is the position round, and we're playing Dave's team. Well I found a way to beat my kryptonite, and crushed Dave 253 to 180! It was a great way to end the season.

I honestly can say no one has my number. There is one guy tough in our Wed. nite league though that plays mind games with everyone. He tried it on me one niote and I proceeded to use A blue colored ball on lane 1 and a black colored ball on lane 2 and shot 727 agaonst him. Now when ever he bowl us he looks for a my blue and black:D ball.

There are a few people in our league who's number I have, but I try to be very polite about it :D.

Theres one because we used to be friends until i realized his temper problem. Now i beat him 25 pins + every game.

[Cobberz]

not really just one person, and i wouldnt say anyone has my number, granted there are better bowlers, but its just you against the alleys....and i really enjoy beating people that think they are really good, and hate losing, thats my favorite

Seems like everyone in my Teen Master league had my number

3 per team, scratch, team and heads-up points, and revolving line-up(lower averages will always be first)

I was lead-off for the second half of the season(198 average)

So i was bowling kids with 160-180 averages, I'm a 210 average guy, easy right?

Noone shot under 6 against me all season. And as high as 747

And I was still 9th in total points...

I was 1st when I anchoring and not slumping...

I used to bowl against this guy who avg'd 170-175. At that time, i was avging 210 or so. He put up 700 every single time I bowled him... I guess you could say he just enjoyed making me work.

[Rowdy]

Nope. But there's a whole bunch of guys who hate to see me on their pair for the night.:)

[Cobberz]

especially when they realize that their 237 didnt hold up in the brackets because you shot 259 and punched out to win the game by 8 pins:D

[can-ham]

I see Mr. Groves and Rowdy's point all the time as well. There is no bigger compliment than seeing your opponents body language drop when you show up and put your hammers in the rack.

There is one guy that I would crush last year literately swept every time we played. This year though he really stepped up, both times we met we split points and the games he won he put up scores over 210.
