Indeed.

I can flatten it out and roll whatever ball you give me at it, but I just prefer to be lazy and not have to worry about it. I still flatten it out a good bit on my 10 pin, 4 pin, 7 pin, and 9 pin but no where near what i would need to do if I threw an aggressive ball at it.

I probably average only arond 15-16 mph. My little bitty ass can't get it much faster. LOL

White dot AND flaten out the ball on 12 pins. Ball is staight as an arrow.

Everything else right of 1 I throw the white dot normal. Everything left of 1 I just use my strike ball and count boards.

264, 211, 174 = 649

1st game had the front 8 and lrft a solid 9.

Last game kept leaving ringing 10s and got pissed and missed one of them. Then tried to change my angle and left a couple splits. Should have just played the spare game.

Not a bad set... I can't count the number of times I have thrown two good games and blew the series on the last game.

In my youth league a few years ago I threw 279,278, 165.

12 pins? Is that some kind of amish bowling?

257, 253, 220=730 last night. I also had the front 8 the 2nd game. left a 4 pin, then threw it out the window in the 10th for a 2-4-10 split in the 10th.

I used a 2005 Storm Vertigo this week, might break it out again Thursday night as well...

After front 8 I left a 9 pin on a ball that was perfect otherwise. In fact I had already started turning around being a clown as if I were gonna take a bow when at the last moment I saw it.

Crushed the first in the tenth and left some crap with the second ball. Lanes were nice but they start drying up and I'm always a few balls behind when I should adjust.

That's rough.

I hate it when my team loses by 5 points or so and I shoot 50 pins under my average.
