I was horrible in practice today. I concentrated on practicing playing deeper inside (standing about 23-25 and trying 10-12 at the arrows). Problem was, if I angled into the dry, either the ball wouldn’t make it or hit very light (I swear my ball doesn’t cross more than 3 or 4 boards on the back end if I play inside), and if I played straighter, it would go through the nose. I had maybe one shot I could feel good about today. Mechanical problems (the lane I originally took had trouble picking up the 7 pin if I left it, so I got moved to the other lane on the pair) were also rather distracting. All in all, a practice I’d like to forget soon.

I started "The Tenth Board" to chronicle my experiences during the road back to league bowling after my heel fractures in 1999 (it took me 7 years before I started thinking seriously about it). I now use the blog as a combination of a personal bowling journal and a news site mostly about Westgate Lanes (Brockton, MA) and its bowlers. View all posts by Rich
