Not really sure what pattern was out there yesterday. It wasnt the Shark, but it was a pba pattern because i know the league there is an experience league. I decided its time to get back to how i used to practice and bowl 5 games. Elena and Michael were also there.
The pattern seemed to give me a lot more reaction in the back, especially with the danger zone. Also, You could swing it out and it would just slide into the gutter. It had the same miss by a board and not carry characteristic as the other pro patterns i have bowled on. I was throwing my spare ball at all the spares again, so i managed on getting 14 open frames for the 5 games. I realized that throwing the spare ball at all spares only helps make me more accurate.
So on the right is a picture of my stats for the 5 games. The thing to notice is the 14 under the header "total". Thats open frames. Below that is the number of spares, below that the number of strikes, and below that the number of splits. Yes, 15 splits. That 134 game i had 4 splits, none of which i picked up.
First couple of games i was throwing the virtual gravity. It was working farily well for me, then it j
ust stopped driving. it seems like carry down really effects the way that ball reacts. I was wondering if it was the polish, so i had them resurface the ball to the factory 4000 grit finish. i threw it once after and then just put it away.
Last games I threw the danger zone. man that ball hooks. Its amazing that even though it is 12 years old, it still reacts with the strongest balls on the market today. I like it, its easy to control and i know what to expect from it. When i bowl on the pro patterns, i tend to lean more towards my danger zone.
Elena bowled really well today. Shes getting much better at picking up spares. Heres her stats
