Only had two opens in two league nights

Tuesday:  637 (only open was a barely dumped 10pin)

213-191-233 (or something like that)

 Wednesday:

211-199(Only a solid 10 from a dutch 200)-203 - 613

*  Made a pressure 10-pin in second game to win it for team

* Made a pressure 10-pin to win bracket

 ==> Spare game getting better.

I felt really good bowling yesterday overall -- I was pretty much in the pocket.....

Even though I was pretty much in the pocket -- I stared with:

* Solid 8-10/open

* Solid 7/spare

* Solid 10/missed

* 2-pin/spare

* Strike

* 9-pin/spare

==> So I left the back row in the first six frames ==> not a great way to score.  I doubled in the 10 to get to 184 (and I needed the first spare to beat my girlfriend, who had a 170 and a three bagger in the ninth and tenth.).

Next game -- every ball near the pocket, and a solid 214

Game three:

* Three Strikes

* Solid 10/open (missed by a hair, but knew I was in trouble off my hand)

* 5 bagger

==> Finished with a 244-642 (team split)

1)  I am glad I did not lose it mentally after the first 6 frame - often happens that you get the best carry after getting royally screwed.  All you can do is throw the ball.

2)  My girlfriend told me to change balls after 6 frames -- glad I did not listen to her.  I know the ball reaction was good - sometimes you get tapped. 

3)  When you practice, you are not looking to throw strikes - you are trying to match up with the lane. 

4)  Watch your ball reaction, not just your scores when making adjustments.
