Had a bit of a struggle again this week.  In the 3 weeks after the Christmas break, I have averaged 182.  (Not a bad average for a PBA Experience league, but 25 pins below what I averaged in the Fall.)  My timing is off, and I need to find time to practice more.  (I changed jobs early last year, and it is harder to get practice in.)  Anyway, I feel like I am rushing my approach, and I am not saying down with my shot through the delivery.  We bowled on the Viper this past week, and I started with a good game, and then it dropped off the 2nd and the 3rd game.  Through the last 3 weeks, I have averaged 216 for the 1st game, and then 168 and 169 for the 2nd and 3rd game.  I bowled a 214, 167 and a 166 for a 547 series.  In addition to problems with my approach, it seems like there are more people playing on the outside of the lane (where I usually play).  We will be bowling on the Viper pattern again this week, and my plan right now is to roll a deeper line around the 3rd arrow.
