1/23/08 VFW League Night (TSP, 15Lb Shift, Hawg-Zilla, White Dot)
Just one of those nights that we all have sometimes. It was a long pattern of medium oil with some carry down. I was in the pocket all night but just couldn't carry anything. The second game was split-city! All in all I'm happy with my performance tonight, what can you do. We did manage to take 4 of 7 points.

1/21/08 Cheap-O-League Night (TSP, 15Lb Shift, Hawg-Zilla, White Dot)
What a night!! The lanes were dry outside with medium oil inside and a fair amount of carrydown. I started the night off with the Shift but was getting an over/under reaction out of it. The second game I went with my new/used Hawg-Zilla and never looked back! I had 20 out of 24 strikes between the two games and threw my first 12 in a row. I also got lucky and converted the 2-4-8-10! We managed to take 5 of the 7 points and win the first half! Whooo Hoooo!

1/19/08 Practice (TSP, 15Lb Shift, Hawg-Zilla, White Dot)
This was just a fun, practice session today. Eric and I felt like we were starting to take this sport a little too seriously so we got together just to throw some no pressure, games experimenting with different equipment. The lanes started out Medium/Heavy, but we quickly burnt them up. We went in the pro shop and found a used Hawg-Zilla that was a perfect fit and asked them if we could throw a few games with it and they said ok. I threw over 600 with it so I decided to buy it! LOL It was cheap! Oh and the 672 was with the TSP. (Thunder Struck Pearl) :)

1/16/08 VFW League Night (TSP, 15Lb Shift, White Dot)
Medium/Dry lane conditions tonight on a medium length pattern. I started out with the Shift, but it was simply too strong so I went to the TSP the second game. The first game wasn't as bad as it lookes, I chopped 2 spares and had 2 splits. Likewise the last game should have been better, I missed a 7 pin and a 10 pin...I hate that! We took 5 tonight, but should have been all 7.

1/14/08 Cheap-O-League Night (TSP, 15Lb Shift, White Dot)
Strange lane condition tonight, sometimes they felt dry and other times oily. There seemed to be a hang spot on or around my track area that just held the ball. I started out with the TSP and about the midpoint of the second game I switched to the Shift and stood about 6 inches left of the far left dot and played inbetween the 3rd and 4th arrows, that seemed to do the trick. On the bright side, I only missed 2 makeable spares.
