Tonight was the teams night for the in-house tournament at Fugate’s. I didn’t actually have a team organized for the night, but I had to be over there anyway, seeing as I’m the lane guy at the moment. So, I hauled my ass over there and got 16 lanes ready. I figured we’d probably need [...]

For quite some time now, I’ve been intending to post pictures of my arsenal. I’ve FINALLY got around to getting those pictures taken and here they are!
First 600 of the season
January 11th, 2010

It’s taken me 14 weeks of league, but I FINALLY broke the 600 mark! I finished the night with a 634, which seems to about where I tend to finish if I bowl 600’s. Weird.
So I started the night with my Twisted Fury, shooting 10 and 5 and standing on 20, making my lay down [...]

Okay, almost. The tournament was actually on December 23, but what was I gonna say? Christmas Eve Eve No Tap Tournament? I didn’t think so…
Anyway, we held a no tap tournament at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama. We didn’t get quite the same turn out as the Thanksgiving day Tournament, but it was a still a good turn [...]
Bowling 101 – Don’t miss easy spares
December 11th, 2009

These past 3 months of league have been trying to say the least. I’ve been struggling to put games together, I’ve been struggling to find consistency with my release and I’ve been struggling to consistently shoot spares. Now, I know a good portion of the difficulties have come from the number of changes I made [...]
How to destroy a game in four frames…

Last night, we bowled in our regular Sunday League trio. Earlier that night, I had stripped and oiled the lanes, and bowled a couple of practice games. The practice games went well. I threw something like 6 in a row in my first one, so I knew I had a good line and good ball [...]
Thanksgiving Tournament at Fugate’s

This Thanksgiving, we held a No-Tap tournament at Fugate’s Bowl-a-rama. This comes less than a week after the passing of Fred Fugate, the owner and proprietor of the Bowling center. It was hard to really get motivated to work on the lanes, knowing that Fred wouldn’t be there and that he had buried just 4 [...]
Summer League: May 21 2009

This week was about the same as the three that came before it for me. I am still yet to break the 600 barrier, which is REALLY frustrating, because I’m not far off of it. In fact it’s been a matter of just a single missed spare in one or two games. This week it [...]
The mechanics of a good arm swing
May 16th, 2009

A few weeks ago, Jennifer started giving me grief about my arm swing, because at the top of the swing my hand turns completely out, meaning my palm is perpendicular to the floor. Now, I don’t know when this started, but I know it’s a result my trying to learn the more dynamic release that [...]
