adjustments mid game make and break a good series.
fact.
I can't count how many times I've missed a 750+ series because I couldn't shoot a big 2nd game because I was too stubborn to move off my 1st game line... so shoot 250-210-260.... or instead of just shooting a high 600 go 220-235-180 for a measly 635[/QUOTE]
Adjustments are the big key, once you start getting the average up. Last night was one of those nights that should have been 750...245, 200, 255. It took me a few frames the 2nd game to figure out the transition. Lanes got a little squirrely in the middle and I had to make sure I looped it a bit more towards the end of the night instead of just making 2-1 moves. 700 isn't too bad; what was good was that I was 80 pins higher than the two guys on my pair that average similar. Plus, the other team was tied for first, 4 points ahead of us and we took 5 out of 7!
Monday was a little more mediocore-679 with a 201 for the first game...the old body was a little stiff and fresh of a trip to the bone-cracker.
Still sticking with the old Vertigo. It isn't giving me anything big, but I haven't been below 679 with it the last few weeks (I think)
The key to adjusting is watching the reaction of each ball. If you go heavy on a good shot, move a board left. Split=2 boards. Sometimes the lanes will carry down on the backs and you might have to move right before left if you leave a 2-8 or washout. Generally speaking of course. The game gets way more complex beyond that.
