Ok I dont know where to start. Im just going to say that I think I have come a long way as far as my overall game. Over the past couple of years I have really changed how I throw the ball. I have fixed my span and pitches, and therefore I feel like I am throwing the ball a lot better and more consistant. I feel like I am an all around better bowler. I hit the pocket a lot more, and have become a lot better spareshooter. Your probably thinking thats good, but I seem to not carry near as good as I used to. Before I changed I had 2 800s 1 300 multiple 770+s and 11 in a rows. That was in about a years time. While I shot all of those I could barely average 205. Since then over the past 3 years I have a lot of 700s but very not many over 750. While I shoot a lot more 700s they arent as high. I do have 2 300s this year in a tougher house. I think the thing I notice the most is that I am hitting the pocket a whole lot more, but I cant get the 10 out now. I have tried everything I know to do, and nothing seems to work. Im only in one league a week right now and travel league. On my Monday night league over the past 3 weeks I am averaging about 227 or so. The first week I shot 300 the first game and since that game I have been averaging about 3 to 4 ten pins a game. On this past Monday I shot 212 with 3 ten pins I threw 2 bad shots to start the game then didnt miss the pocket the rest of the night. The next game I left 4 and I shot 227. The last game I left 3 and I think I shot 258. I went 10 pin 7 in a row then 10 pin 10 pin. About a month ago I switched to all Ebonite balls. I havent thrown one in a year or so, but I have heard a lot of good things about them and needed a change. I am open for any advice to get me over the hump. I know that no matter what you will leave some 10 pins I just feel like I leave a lot more than other people I bowl with. I have tried to move up back left and right. I tried to loft it a little, but it all seems to be the same. One good thing about going through this is that I can now spare almost all of them. My main thing is that I feel like I am stuck in between a handicaper with no pins and a scratch bowler. While I cant compete with handicap, I cant strike enough to bowl scratch either. I always seem to be just out of the cut either way. Well I appreciate any help.
