    PBA Experience Week 2

    Friday, May 16, 2008, 07:37 PM EST [General]

    Week two.... what a difference.

    Took some excellent notes and dam did i get a lesson in PBA breakdown.  I am thinking this is really gonna be a fun time after all.

    Game One.  Checking my notebook from Week one I had my Global900 BreakPearl and BlackWidow Bite ready to go.  Opened with the Pearl standing 10left of center and rolling over the 15 (that was my target) with the ball breaking out on the 5.  9 strikes. i threw one really bad shot out over the 12 that broke too early and left a nasty split through the heads.  Probably the most consistent game i have ever thrown.  i Nailed my mark + 3 boards 10 of 12 shots. finished with a 224

    Game Two.  If it works dont fix it!  Same ball and line opened with Strike, Spare, Four bagger- then the breakdown started to come into play. Moved my target inside to the 18-20 clicked my heels and finished with a 201.

    Game Three.  WTF?  best describes my frustration.  EVERYTHING ive read says on the cheetah pattern rev rates over 350 need to move in so thats what i did.  a near perfect NO-TAP game. lol  just could not carry leaving 9's, 4's and 10's.  sloppy 161

    586 series which brings the average up 6 pins so happy but had to figure out what i did wrong.  So i stopped in to see my Drill man! As a regional Tour member and he knows my game I sat with him and explained what happened and then got hit with the deer-in the headlight question.  "Where did you move your feet?"  DOH.  It seems what i did by only adjusting my target was create a very high entry angle to the pocket.  He was kind enough to explain that i needed to move my line, feet- target and break point together.  AHHHHHHH

    On the up side i get to Sub on his PBA league next week and they are also shooting Cheetah.  The difference there.... like 8 Regional PROS in that league.  Gonna go out and watch a Regional event this weekend. They are shooting on Scorpion.  - cheers!!
