Aug. 3 practice

Despite feeling a bit drained from the weekend, I hit the practice lanes today in the hopes that a good session could energize me for the rest of the week. I largely succeeded: I overcame a slow start in the first game to get a game in the 190s, and everything came together in the last game, where I left 2 shots out right (one of which led to my only open of the game, when I peeled the 2 off the 2-4-8), but was throwing the ball well otherwise to score a 211. Other than first ball work with the Hy-Road, I experimented with going back to using my strike ball for my left-side spares, and I was finding myself more consistent making them on that side. I may end up using my plastic ball for only my 6 and 10 pins (or any other leave where I have to hit the 6 pin full, even if it isn’t there, such as with the baby split).
