More issues last night. Had the usual fingertip swelling that made throwing consistent shots nearly impossible, but hung in there most of the night, until a 100% disastrous ending that turned what could have been a good night, into a bad one.

First game out of the gate was a 162. Pretty nondescript. Came up light a few times, but I wasn't far off.  Second game I was much better, but nothing to show for it. Had a 165 due to chopping the 10-pin, and leaving the 6-pin on two 6-10's!

Third game I'm cruising right along with X / / X X in the first five. I'm thinking finally I'm gonna get that first deuce, or at least a high 180-90 game.  Then the bottom falls out.  Missed 5-pin, Missed 9-pin, Missed 4-pin, split, and last ball the ball hangs on my thumb and I pull it past another 5-pin for a whopping 153. ARGH!

Now I firmly believe 80% of my issues are shotmaking, but I've never ever ever had problems with my ball fit like I've had.  I guess it's a summer thing.  I've never bowled a summer league before. I think I would have a lot more confidence and consistency, if I felt like the ball was going to come off my hand correctly.  I don't like this, and every week I keep adjusting the feel to improve it, and by mid-set, it's off again, and I'm struggling against the shot, and the feel.

I should be averaging more than a measly 159, PBA shot or not.  Aggravating.
