May 3 practice

How fickle can the game of bowling be? Last week, as I posted, I practiced my shot standing on the 35 board by choice and generally struggled; today, I had to practice the same shot again because the lane condition dictated it, but did OK. I think I got my speed on the shot down in the last game and had a one-open 196.

Another thing I tried is that when I left a 4 and/or a 7, I used the Hy-Road going straight up something like 23 or 24 and let the ball hook into the pin(s). I had noticed myself pulling the ball quite a bit going cross-lane at those pins with my spare ball, and I hope this new approach will allow me to make more of my pins on that side, and will be something I’ll practice more during the summer.
