For us "bowlers" I was speaking in board language. When you shoot 16/6 that means you stand at the 16th board and swing it out to the right and roll your ball over the 6th board on the lane. It should then come back into the pocket- which is the space between the 1 and 3 pin. If your ball isn't hitting the pocket the rule is "if it's light move right if it's heavy move left". Then you make adjustments by moving your feet on the boards and moving your mark (where you roll the ball). :facepalm:

Unless you're a lefty, then its reversed....:0008

And what you wrote has to be like reading Chinese to non-bowlers.....:142smilie

Very nice scores for your 1st time throwing on a Nationals pattern. lets hope its pretty similar to what you will find in Reno.
The guy at the house we practice the shot on says he can get it pretty close---the machines at Nationals are quite superior to the ones most local houses have so its not quite the same.
My best single game score at Nationals in all the years I've been bowling the tourney is a 226 and have shot maybe 10 600 series in the 19 years I've bowled Nationals.
It is a true test of your bowling skills for sure.
And Thursday is tomorrow...enjoy your trip!

No ours are 193 to 4039

I did get a chance to go over tonight and shoot the Reno pattern. First game 278, 2nd game 177, 3rd game 190. I'm happy with that. My 7 and 10 pins seems to be the same shot as league shot. I started at 16/6 and did well. The second game I monkeyed around with 22/12 but just couldn't get it out- kept hitting 14/15. So to finish that game and the third game I just moved around a bit to see how many adjustments I would need to make. Now I'm ready to leave- Thursday can get here any time now. :0074

That's because you can count the revs on your ball down the lane hunny.... :mj07:

Jack - you still didn't let me know if you are going to feed the cat- I need to show you where the hide-a-key is.
I'm sending Sportsaholic over. :0008
