Weekend recap

Missed last weeks, so ill write about it this week. a couple weekends ago, i flew down to Las Vegas to bowl in the JBT invite weekend. I was going on the idea that i would make top ten and qualify for the invitational the next day.

So, i started slow, going around even for the first three games. I was able to pull out a huge (for me) 258 game in game 4 to pull into the cut and even put myself in a favorable position going into match play. I never really lost my look, but had a hard time matching up to the pattern. We were faced with a fairly wet dry scenario. Pocket was no problem, but consistently getting the right ball with the right angle was very tough. Ended up missing top ten by about 10 pins. I wouldve been there, but i split in the second game of match play to lose the game and miss out on those 30 bonus.

its a hard pill to swallow because it was my last mojave conference jbt ever, as a youth that is. And that was one of the last times ill be down there for bowling. Its hard to think that ive been going to vegas for the last 8 years and almost 3 times every summer and know that that will all end this summer. I am trying to make the most out of it. Team challenge is right around the corner, so thats five nights in vegas to hoopla it up.

In other news, tonight is week four of the Hiline challenge singles league. I am currently averaging right around 230 and bowl for the quarter champ tonight. We are bowling on a tricky, but very hittable modified pattern. The biggest problem i have with this pattern is its wide open for me to start, but as it starts to transition and i start going in, i run into wet dry conditions. Ive had fast starts every week. I tihnk my first two game average is 250 in the league, including a 298 game.

Ive drilled up an Outlaw, Radical Slant, and an old Impulse Zone, so maybe one of these balls will work for the transition.... thats how it works right?


Until next time....
