Luckily, it was 8 Pin tap of 3 games..so..i think it's not so dificult ;) ...yup, i was right..i've scored 220+ in the 1st game, it was awesome as you get very high-spirited, excited by watching other players got their strikes..we tried our best..
Few days back, i have problem with my bowling ball..my thumbhole seems to be smaller (???)..hahaha..actually, my thumb was swollen due to small thumbhole!! so, did get it adjusted 2 days before the tournament..at home, i took this seriously, tried to keep my mental strong. i have low self-esteem (sometimes..), so what i did was to be as confident as i could and kept telling myself that i'm good...
And during the tournament, i was really 'pumping iron', my targets were GREAT!..i used to play HOOK style, but lately..it's too difficult for me to throw hook style..as i analysed, the rolling of my ball was more of a SPINNER style. Even the owner of the Bowling Proshop thought, i was a spinner (good! another style to learn)..so, that nite i played as a spinner and did good..unfortunately, i'm sucks in taking spares!!..believe it or not, when taking spares, my hand automatically shifted to HOOK MODE..so there goes the spares..WASTED!!
My 2nd game was yuckie!..i scored only 120+!!..but husband played all games consistently. he supported me and advised me to relax..as for the 3r game, i'm happy..i did better, with 261..i got 8 strikes consecutively..miss a spare and 3 strikes again..for the overall result, we were in the 12th place. that's fine with us 'cos there were about 40 teams took part..the other teams were very good, we considered ourself very lucky to be in the Top 15..
So..in the future, we are planning to participate in any tournaments available with our time...so..keep on focusing...and mentally strong...!! oh..here's a photo of my ball, i've used it for as long as i've remembered (used to be my hubby's)..and LOVING it!
