Where to start, this summer is going to be a learning experience for sure. Seem to have struggled on week 2 more so than week 1. Week 1, Shark Pattern, finished with a 204 game to shoot 547, I felt comfortable with that one. Week 2 was another story, same Pattern, struggled with keeping my ball speed consistant and I really wasn't coming out of the ball clean. At times it seemed like I had the right revs on the ball, but it didn't finish as it had in earlier shots. Ended up moving deeper in, was still sending it out to where I was earlier and it was finishing, but at times it wanted to hook up on the lanes a little sooner. I fundamentally was having a tough time. I shot 498. Heartbreaking from the previous week. No excuses, I just bowled poorly. I am bowling in this league to improve myself, find my weaknesses and improve on them. I keep a record of every night I bowl in league as well as tournaments to look back later on them. I have learned from the 1st two weeks to work on shooting straighter at spares, to work on ball speed control. I really don't throw the ball fast to begin with, but sometimes nerves tend to get you to throw a little faster at times, or get faster with your feet. I am putting a lot of pressure on myself to bowl well in this league because I do want to bowl in a few regional tournaments next season. I also would like to bowl in the USBC Masters.
