Well week one is in the bag!!  i didnt do so well cept the nerves (first practice shot slipped right onto the 'ole tail bone...can you say FOUL light) dont know why i was so nervous but got most out by the end of the first game.   Was somewhat disappointed though as 80% of the bowlers are just there cause its a good night to bowl.  Was really hoping to see more serious folks but there are a few so i still should be able to learn which after all is what is all about.

Weeks 1-4 are going to run on Cheetah.

I opened with a foot position of 10L (of center) throwing out over the 15-17 with a break point on the 3-5 board.  I was using my BreakPrearl which has a 3.5" pin and a VAL of 20% so was hoping to rip the backends.  Will probably work as a good line when not nervous.  Pulled 3 easy single pin spares and lobbed one in the gutter to finish with a whopping 161.

Second game i settled in a bit more switched balls to my WidowBite also with a 3.5" pin with a weaker drilling.  Moved feet to 5L and a target of 5-7.  Excellent adjustment. As long as i didnt go outside the 5 i was good. Launches to the 2-4 the ball didnt have enough time to get back.  Its true what they say about these patterns- Accuracy is crucial.  only 2 opens finishing with a 200.

Third game stayed on same line however had a problem getting my speed right first couple frames.  Opened 1, 2, 3 which was frustrating.  pulled it all back together and finished clean for a 178.

All things considered a 180 average for first time out on a PBA shot.  8 opens sure took a toll.  Looking forward to next week.
