Hi Eightball. I feel for you bud. Alot of find this is happeneing top us also. I myself find it happening to me. I shoot 210+ -170-then comeback with a big 200. In my case I think my situation occurs as the nlanes start to transition. or carryl down . What I usually do is go to a more aggressive ball / adjust more right for a righty or slow the ball speed down.

Hey eightball, hows this for not consistent, 254-156-188 for a 598, just did that pre-bowling. I bowled a practice game after and i threw a 248

Hey Eight ball.

I started off the year with this exact same problem. There is a move needed but I try to hold on to the old line or ball too long. You need to make a move, and confidently go after it.

For me the solution is to move my mark and feet left by 2.5 boards. But as bubba said if your getting more carry down then you might just need to move you feet right (assuming your a righty).

With todays technology, new lane oils, conditioners, soaker coverstocks, put 10 bowlers (2 5 man teams) and the conditions can change darn near shot to shot. Adjusting is the name of the game. I tend to struggle during the 2nd game until the shot finishes out.

The bowler who sees the transition and adapts the quickest usually wins.

Ah,the bad old days. I used to have scores like that. Roll a big opening number and think that every game was going to be like that. Didn't bear down as hard in the second game and the score suffered. Then the shot changed and I missed it goofing off in the second game and couldn't find it when the panic set in come the third game. When the first game is over, it's gone. History. Doesn't exist anymore. You need to roll the second game as hard as you did the first. Then you'll be on top of the lane changes when they happen.

was a problem,i moved left and probably should have moved right,also i didnt move and ball change soon enough,thx guys for advise

[EIGHTBALL033]

came from practice with CHERRY VIBE,EXPECTED LANES TO BE ON DRY SIDE,BUT TO MY SURPRISE WAS STILL NICE SHOT,FIRST BALL WASHED OUT, STARTED TOO DEEP EXPECTING DRY,MOVE TO RIGHT SOME,STILL NOT CONSISTANT,SO CHANGED FINGER POSITION(SPREAD INDEX WIDE,PINKY SLIGHTLY SPREAD) AND SLOWED DOWN SPEED,AND CV WAS LOOKING SWEET BY LAST GAME,DID 166,(FINDING LINE ETC...),190,213,259,VIBE IS VERY HARD HITTING BALL AS LONG AS CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT AND GOOD RELEASE,BY THE WAY, EVEN THO I WAS PRACTICING, I WANTED SIMULATE I WAS PLAYING TO SCORE IN LEAGUE,HOPEFULLY I CAN MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS SOONER WITH CONFIDENCE THIS WEEK,THX AGAIN GUS FOR IMPUT

Look at the scores. They all went UP every game. Thats something to build on. Those last three games was a 663 series with a Cherry Vibe. I'd take that anytime.
