What’s worse than a bad bowler?\u00a0 A bad bowler who thought he was good.\u00a0 After a terrific first week, things have just been down hill.\u00a0 This week has by far been the worst 3 game series I’ve bowled in league.\u00a0 I haven’t had a single clean game (no open frames) and only 1 over 200 the entire time; and that was in the first week.\u00a0 Pathetic is all I can say about it so far.\u00a0 The only other remotely decent week was when we all pre-bowled so we were able to go at a much faster pace.\u00a0 It got so bad tonight that I used my straight spare ball the third game because I couldn’t handle the bad breaks.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0most frustrating\u00a0part is, espcially in the last two weeks, I’ve been hitting my marks on my strike ball.\u00a0 My aim is right where I want it; but either I get too much or not enough oil and the ball misses the pocket nearly every time.\u00a0 I make a small adjustment, as I should based on the previous ball and the same thing happens, either I hit high or I hit light.\u00a0 To put it in other terms, it’s like hitting a baseball on the sweet part of the bat every time but still flying out at the warning track.<\/p>\n

Here are all of my scores to get you up to date:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I need to figure something out quickly as it’s to the point now where my poor bowling is hurting the team pretty drastically.\u00a0 I’m supposed to be the most consistent, and at least 30 pins higher in my consistency than I was tonight.\u00a0 I either need more practice or need a break; and I just don’t know which.\u00a0 Probably should get a lesson with someone who can look at my game objectively and put me back on the right track.\u00a0 Who knows?<\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me babble on.\u00a0 Have a great rest of the week, everyone!<\/p>\n
