Ouch, a 2 pin drop in average for one week.\u00a0 Not good.\u00a0 I was using a new ball, but that wasn’t the issue entirely.\u00a0 I kept trying to hard.\u00a0 I have a tendency to try to guide the ball which ends up taking away any power and drive.\u00a0 When I start to do that and notice, I tend to over correct and throw the ball hard.\u00a0 Usually I can make smaller adjustments and work out ok, but last night kept going from one extreme to another.<\/p>\n

My spares really did me in.\u00a0 Other than the times I had splits, I missed 2 easy spares in the first game, 4 in the second, and 1 in the 3rd.\u00a0 That’s a total of 7 missed easy spares in 20 opportunities.\u00a0 If I made those, that adds approximately 70 pins to my series and gets me to my average.\u00a0 I know what I need to really practice on: smooth arm swing letting the ball do the work and spares.<\/p>\n

I hope you all have a good rest of the week and weekend!<\/p>\n
