Finally got back into the normal routine of watching bowling then going bowling after on sundays. We found out that there is a pba experience league on sundays that takes up 12 lanes. They usually oil 4 extra lanes with the pba pattern and if you get there at a good time, you can get a pair. This weeks pattern was the shark.
Man this pattern is tough. Its tougher than the USBC Masters shot by far. Miss your mark by one board and forget it. Even if it does hit pocket, it wont carry. The shot that seems to score the best for me is down the 10 board. Depending on where my feet are, straight down the 8 works too. I did pretty well hitting my mark today, couldnt carry anything though. I like bowling on the shark to test how well i can hit my mark. Last time i bowled on the shark i did horrible. I also convinced myself that my balls really arent drilled for that type of oil pattern. There is a lot of oil on the lane.
I am also trying to make the switch to picking up all spares with my spare ball. Got the 7 pin area nailed down today, and I think i may even do it in league this friday. I am gonna bowl tomorrow night so ill practice it more there. I also picked up a washout with the spareball too. Eric Espina told me to draw an imaginary line from where you want to hit to your shoulder. Where the line crosses the arrows, thats your mark. Seems to work well for me, great advice Eric.
On a sidenote, Elena is getting a lot better at bowling now that she has her own equipment. I think its a comfort factor for her. She had a 140 today, pretty good.
