Better With A 704 This Week

Posted by Bill Marks on September 25, 2009 at 8:33pm
Well after having a bad week last week I did better with a 704 series today. I had games of 245+221+238 for the 704 series. I used my ebonite magic on the left lane and my Brunswick twisted fury solid on the right. I only had 2 open frames today, both were brain dead shots. Well I had a better mental outlook today. I used 2000 abralon on my magic and 1000 on my twisted fury solid.Free Bowling Tips

Bad Week

Posted by Bill Marks on September 18, 2009 at 2:01pm
Well after having a great week last week I struggled with a 558 series today, this was one of my worst outings in over a year. I had a 156 my second game and 7 open frames over all. I realize I was not rolling the ball well and trying to look positively at it. You have to take he good with the bad and old friend once told me. I have only had 1 game under 200 in the last 6, but it killed me. The hole league was down though and a few average in the 215 range. Well PMA a new start, and I hole am more in tune next week. I did have two 8,10s and a 7,10 in the pocket.

First Week Of Fall Bowling For 2009

Posted by Bill Marks on September 11, 2009 at 9:53pm
Good Start For My First Week Of Fall Bowling 2009Well I am back to fall bowling after the summer I was only able to bowl the 5 weeks of the 8 week summer bowling. Then I went on vacation. I averaged 205 in the summer pba league for those 5 weeks and did get to bowl on all the 5 patterns once. Then I did practice, but I did slow way down over the summer. Now our league started today and I started with a bang having a 762 series today and had 2 open frames. I missed a 10 pin in the 1st game and a 7 pin in the 2nd game. I had games of 247+236+279 for the 762 series. I used an ebonite magic on the left lane and a Brunswick siege on the right lane. I used a 1000 abralon pad on the siege and 2000 abralon on the magic. The left lane was a lot tighter the right.Free Bowling Tips

5th Week of Summer League

Posted by Bill Marks on June 6, 2009 at 1:38pm
5th Week of Summer Sport Doubles LeagueThis week in our Summer Sport Doubles League which is suppose to be like a PBX league, but it is not sanctioned and we bowl 4 games. Well last night was our 5th week we were suppose to be bowling on the PBA Shark pattern. I must note this is a wood bowling center; well I had games of 192+215+193+205 for an 805 series. This shot was a little tougher than the others, but I had to make sure that I kept the ball insider and did not swing the ball outside to far as it would hang. This was supposed to be a 44 ft pattern. I used my Storm Virtual Gravity this week. I did adjust the surface of the ball with 2000 abralon. In addition, I try to bowl on sport patterns every summer if I can.

3rd Week of Summer Bowling League

3rd Week of Summer Sport Doubles LeagueLast night in our Summer Sport Doubles League which is suppose to be like a PBX league, but it is not sanctioned and we bowl 4 games. Well last night was our 3rd week we were suppose to be bowling on the PBA Cheetah pattern. I must note this is a wood bowling center; well I had games of 184+189+243+202 for an 818 series. This shot was not bad really, but I had to make sure that I swung the ball because there was no hold; the pattern is suppose to be short pattern. I really did not have a shot up the 3 board like they say, but I did have lots of swing area from about 13 board at the arrows to 5 board at the breakpoint. I could strike, but I had tons of open frames like 2 or 3 a game. In the 3rd game I had a 242 with an open in the 10th frame. In addition, I used my ebonite magic again this week. The magic seems to respond really well to the patterns so far. I did adjust the surface of the ball with 2000 abralon pad. In addition, I try to bowl on sport patterns every summer if I can.

2nd Week of Summer Sport Doubles League
Last night in our Summer Sport Doubles League it is suppose to be like a PBX league, but it is not sanctioned and is 4 games.

This ball seems to work good on these conditions for me I did adjust the surface with 2000 abralon. I bowl on sport patterns every summer if I can.

First Night of Summer League

storm virtual gravity @ bowlingballgalaxy.com

Last night we started our Summer Sport Doubles League it is suppose to be like a PBX league, but it is not sanctioned and is 4 games. Well last night we were suppose to be bowling on the PBA chameleon pattern. I must note this is a wood bowling center; well I had games of 167+189+200+213 for a 771 series.
This shot was tough at first as the lane conditions hooked a lot more than I expected, but after I moved far enough left and changed balls I had a pretty good shot. I used my Storm Virtual Gravitymy first 3 games and then changed to my Ebonite Magicthe last game. This is a lot different than the house patterns I have been bowling on. They say next week we will be bowling on the scorpion pattern. I bowl on sport patterns every summer if I can.Free Bowling Tips

My Monthy Sweeper Bowling Scores

Posted by Bill Marks on April 26, 2009 at 2:37pm
My bowling scores today were 256+212+208+248+182 for an 1106 series in our local monthly scratch tournament I averaged 221 for the 5 game sweeper and only had 4 open frames. I missed 2,10 pins and had a 7 + 10 and a 8 + 10 in the pocket. I never cashed this month, but I did get money back for a high game. I just had trouble getting lined up today and was debating whether I should bowl today as my mental game was not there. I was going out with the ball to much there was a little to much wiggle if I crossed the oil going out and could not line up with a more direct shot. I did get 6th lace last month and usually cash in this event.

My bowling scores today were 259+226+215 for a 700 series in my Friday morning bowling league. 1 had 2 open frames today one in the 2nd game and one in the 3rd. I missed a 10 in the 2nd game and rolled a bad shot for a 4, 6, 7 split in the 3rd. I went back to the twisted fury solid because I had carry and reaction troubles with my other equipment. I did have a 300 with my magic in a different center this past week though. In addition, I had a 2123 all events score in the city tournament. I used my hammer hawg and an ebonite infinite one in that event.

633 in my Morning League

Posted by Bill Marks on March 13, 2009 at 5:40pm
My bowling scores today were 203+217+213 for a 633 series in my Friday morning bowling league.1 had 3 open frames today one each game, I kept leaving 10 pins it got frustrating. After leaving so many I only missed 2 one in the 1st game and one in the 2nd game then I chopped the 2 off the 5 in the 3rd game. The conditions in the league have been kind of tricky the last couple weeks I used my ebonite magic again I am averaging about 226 with this bowling ball. I have city tournament over the week end I hope to do better.
