This week, we did have the 3 different patterns to shoot on (Chamleon, US Open and Nationals). Even though my series for this week was a little below last week, I felt like I bowled better (especially my spare game). I bowled on the Chameleon pattern the first game. After the first ball, I felt pretty confident that I was going to have a good game. Not to be. My ball wasn't hooking as much on the right lane. I ended up switching to a ball that hooks more with a little bit more speed. So I ended up rolling a diffent ball on each lane. After I made the adjustment, I was in the pocket. Too bad it took me until the 6th frame to make the adjustment. Once I found the pocket, I left 4 10 pins in arrow (I failed to pick up the 1st one). I ended up bowling a 169 on the Chameleon pattern for the 1st game.
The 2nd game was on the US Open pattern. I never found anything that seemed to work more than a couple of frames. I had a wash out and a couple of splits to go with one double for a 164. Even though the first 2 games were low scores, I was happier with my spare shooting (compared to last week). Other than the one 10 pin I missed in the first game, I didn't miss any other easy spares, and I was close to converting on my splits and wash outs.
The 3rd game was on the USBC National pattern, and I did much better. I was able to put a turkey together in the 3rd-5th frames, and I bowled a clean game for a 213. (The fact that it was a cleaned game is what pleased me the most about the last game.)
