Team Bowlinators, playing at the Philly Pinoy Fall Winter League (L-R): Romy, Jing, Blue and Paul
With scores of 166, 201 and 225, it was the first time I ever had two 200+ games in a single series. My scores gave me an unbowlievable 197 average and 592 series for the night. Since my average going in was 157, my performance for the night was 40 pins above my average. It was a strong team effort for us. Our team's incredibowl play led to a sweep of our opponents, the Bowleros, who are dear practice buddies on the lanes.
I was throwing the ball consistently well. Dancing on the sidelines to the DJ's dance music kept me loose and relaxed (thanks, Blue!). I was remembering all of my coach Donna Roberts' tips on lining up, taking my time, and focusing on my target. Some fortuitous spares, really meticulous note taking and smart analyses (no paralysis!) of the "data" in my trusty notebook led to good adjustment decisions (true "aha!" moments) on the lanes. Practice really pays off. I was stringing strikes like a true BowlStar, what a fantastic ride!
And I did it all with one ball: my dear Spinderella 11-lb Ebonite Cyclone. This makes me very hopeful about continuing my bowling odyssey with the 12-lb Ebonite Cyclone I am expecting to "bond" with in a couple of weeks.
Exciting times: the Super Bowls I was expecting to experience this year are starting to come around. Now I need to continue to work hard to maintain my new 167 average in the Fall Winter League. Hopefully some of this freaky fantastic mojo can translate over to my USBC league on Wednesday nights, so I can move towards increasing my current 148 USBC average to the 150 range.
Bowl, baby, bowl! See y'all at the lanes!
