Well I assume we had the Shark pattern tonight on our PBA league since it seemed to be quite flooded early on and I started right of middle, which I don't do very often unless I run into oil. Before we headed out to the bowling alley, I sanded two old balls (trifecta and messenger ti) with a green scotch brite pad. Wasn't sure at the time if I'd use either of them but like I said yesterday, I don't want to do anything to my other balls since they're working ok on the THS.
Got there early enough considerring it was snowing and we were driving slow to get there safely. I needed to change the finger grips in those two balls so I didn't get to throw a couple balls with them before we started, so I threw a couple lines with my Sure fire then went to get my finger grips switched out.
Started off the night standing around 15 and aiming around the first arrow. Left a seven pin the first frame and missed it cuz apparently I'v mssed so many times right I pulled it left... then got six strikes in a row... left a 6-10 cuz I went high and missed that... then another 7 pin and missed that again... then struck out in the tenth for a 225. 9 strikes for a 225??? ugh... my damn spares killed me... but rest assure, I did better the next game.... at least with my spares.
I had a clean game my second game making all my spares and only throwing a strike or two... no doubles, so I bowled a 195.
Last game didn't fair as well... missed a few spares and ended with a 165 for a 585 series. Should've gone to a less aggressive ball cuz it cutting in at the last minute a lot, but considerring I've never done well on this pattern, I'm pretty happy with the outcome and our team took all four tonight considerring three out of four of us bowled 560 or better. So yay!
We'll see how the shot is next week... and if it really was the shark... if it isn't then it was probably the scorpion.... how can some leagues be so unorganized that they can't even tell us what the shot is sometimes. Oh well.
Time to get ready for bed... two days off, so til next time. byeeee
