I called her insurance and they flat out told me NO, they will not cover it, I had to use my own. I gave that insurance lady VERY choice words, and hung up. I dont give a shit about whos driving the car, the car that you insure, HIT ME!

Anway, had a horrible night this week. Shot 485. It just seemed like they threw a bottle of oil with the lid open, and whatever spilled out, was the pattern. I have a relatively high rev rate, (>450) and I was playing straight up 5, and was still having a hard time hitting the head pin. I hate playing that line, because my muscle memory wants to the throw the ball right, instead of straight. I pulled several shots which didnt help any. My dad only had a 516 so it wasnt just me. We lost all 7 points to 4 little old ladies. Talk about a swift kick in the nuts!

Yea people Suck driving when they know they shouldn't !!

Anyway I have been just going to the Alley and rolling a few . I can't really bend over but not not putting in pain unless I try something stupid .. I hope to get back in a few weeks . I looks and I'm listed as a 202 in the books so that's what I'll start with .
Can't wait to learn this New DV8 I won and Men's State earlier this year . Still using my Hammer Hot Sauce . Love that ball !

Not bad for a comeback! I am just at a loss for words when it comes to my bowling. I shot 499 last night....ANOTHER 400! Its like I have no rememberance of what the hell Im supposed to go. I shot 154, 140, 205. The last game I was being a smart ass and started throwing the ball REAL slow, and it was coming back pretty nice. My dad said, "thats what you looked like when you were shooting all those 700s." To me, it felt like I was going so slow, I was about to be in reverse. It was uncomfortable. I wasnt uncomfortable when I was shooting those 700s. Next week is position round and the week after that is sweeper, then we get 2 weeks off. Gonna try and work some things out during those 2 weeks. I have never felt so lost.....

I'd still like to shoot a 700 this season .. I've got a nice plaque every year for the 1st 700 you shoot , hope to keep the streak going . still have 7 months to get it done .

I currently have the SST 1's and I'm in the market for some new bowling shoes and wanted your opinions on these.....http://www.bowling.com/products/dext...Fa9DMgodH1kAwQ

Anyone have these shoes? Give me your good/bad experiences.

Thanks,
Brian

I have the SST6's and I absolutely love them. Actually I have 2 pairs of them. They are extremely comfortable. These are just the latest model. And a hell of a lot cheaper than I got mine! Lol!

One of those pleasing yet frustrating nights: 267-142-268. Everything went to crap in the second game - timing, a dramatic shot change that I incorrectly adjusted for, and some bad luck. I sorted out my timing issue (I had gotten a little "early"), and also resorted to making a ball swap to get things back together in the 9th and 10th frames. I only pulled a couple shots all night, so maybe that little episode is behind me. All in all not a bad night as the team won most of the points, and I won more money than I spent; but damn it, I want that second game back...

[376LS3]

Ouch! Ya, that 2nd game killed your series! Hope I can shoot something worth a damn this week. I was top of the sheet for avg, but the last 2 weeks Ive tanked 8 pins, so now Im second. :( If I can hit 700+ this week, I should top it out again. Hes only got me by 2.

[pgustavson]

Yes, quite the series killer indeed. I have long been plagued with the inability to string three huge games together in one series. My highest series ever is my first 7xx, bowled in 1994: 736. Hell, I once shot a 643 with a 300 game!

[bee sting]

Well back for another night..shot 203-212-202 =617 pretty consistent . Wonn all 7 points and that's a good thing.

Not bad!! I had another crummy night. 185,247,166, 598. Thought I had it figured out. Just got really crappy carry all night. Dad shot 730, knocked me off the sheet, (721). Bastard!! LMAO!!

Just to add a little more salt in the wound....sigh......yes. Yes I did. And he wasnt smiling at all about it. And what made things worse was in the second game, we were tied from the 4th frame on. We both struck out all the way, except I had a 9 count in the 12th, and he struck out, beating me by 1.

213-201-201. 20 strikes, 6 opens. 5 of the opens were single-pin misses. Way to just throw away 50 pins...damn it.
