Striking Out

The new ball sounds exciting, Chuck. Will it be the multi-color one that you showed us a picture of?
Glad your scores improved this week, too. Sounds like you worked your way out of a not-too-good situation with your mental concentration in game #5. That's important to be able to do that, so congrats. :)

They are remodeling their website, but they're very excited to have me as a new member, and invited me to see them bowling next Tuesday. I believe I'll go and see what everyone is doing, and see what the competition is up to.
lol
Next weekend, I'll be going to a pro shop to see about ordering the ball, bag and new shoes. ;D

Congrats on not having a game <100!
The above sounds exciting, having a look at the team and how they play, and getting all pro with your own shoes and ball.
Have fun! :)
BTW, what do people do with old balls (bowling balls, take your mind out of the gutter! ;))?
Do shops take them back for recycling? Or do you throw them away? I just picture a poor garbage collector, cursing over a trash bin containing two or three old bowling balls. :laugh:

Chrissi, that's not something I have thought about. I believe that one can "donate" the ball to a local bowling alley, and it becomes a "house ball" that someone who doesn't have their own bowling ball will use.

And now, here I am with today's scores.
115 - 125 - 113 - 98 - 103 - 127
Slow and steady wins the race. LOL I keep telling myself that.
Once again, not that thrilled with the overall scores, but happy that I had 2 games that went over the 120 mark. I am very pissed at the 98 in there. That game was awful. The pins would not break for me. I was hitting the pins in the right spots, but never a strike, and then I would miss the spares. And when I did get a spare, I would get only 1 or 2 pins on the next ball, which really took my score down. One thing that I did notice was that the ball felt lighter than usual today, so I'm assuming that I've adjusted to throwing that weight ball down the alley. I was debating getting a lighter ball, but today it felt like it wasn't such heavy weight to be holding.

Average is still over the 100 mark, and I hope this trend improves.

The practice is doing you good, if you're getting used to the weight of that ball.
When you order your own ball, will it be the multi-color one?
