Soon or latter I will cross the 11 in row barrier.

Life has a way of repeating.  Years ago when I first started bowling I threw 10 series between 595 and 599 just missing my first 600. My first 600 series was a 646.  Then the same thing happened when I scored my first 700 series; my first 700 series was a 739.

Bowling is all about trusting yourself and the equipment and patience.

6 times now I have had 11 eleven in a row!  The latest was on my Monday nite league shooting 297 then the next nite on Tuesday the back 11 for a 279.

Bowl Well Everyone

May God Richly Bless You All

Hi Everyone

Just getting back from vacation which was a great experience. My wife and I took a cruise to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama.

Next year maybe Alaska in August or the southern Carribean.  In two years we are planning a Medditerrian Cruise.

I took some time and went to bowl.com to check all my league records and lern something. Since coming to Florida in 2004 I have been quite consistent overall. 212.25 average.

10 leagues over the past 3 years.  585 games and 124170 pins latter my average overall is fair.  I noticed the leagues I bowl with three man teams were the highest at 223 and the five man teams was the lowest at 208. I bowl mostly 4 man teams and those leagues are at or close to 210-215.

My biggest problem is week to week consistency.  I have series and even games high then low.

Like throwing a 297 then a 157 in the same series!

I suffer from Ankylosing Spondilitis and that does affect my game throughout the series.

I do have good weeks though with eleven in a row on my Monday nite league and Tuesday Nite the same week!  The front 11 on Monday and the Back 11 on Tuesday.

Bowl well everyone and be in good health.

Well, punch a Storm first one in more than five years hated the last ones I bought!

The Storm Shift is all the ball it is said to be.  Finally, Storm has made equipment that actually does what it suppose to do.  First four games of practice on a medium oil shot went very well with 226, 226, 215, 267.

The last game I open up the lane and gave the ball much more room and blew the deck 10 straight. the first two frames 10 pin and blowout 7-10 before I made the open move.

 3.275"inch pin drilled up and right of ring finger with thumb swung out anyway from mb almost 3".  Great length very good turn over to the pocket.

Best Ball Ever for first time out of box throwing!

We'll see about league Monday and Tuesday nites!

 Have a blessed and happy weekend!

Well I'm new at this but here it is.  I have struggled with my release for the last 4 yrs; though progress has been made it is not enjoyable to be so inconsistent.

Last nite though I never missed the pocket and had nothing but nines and strikes the entire 3 games.  900 no tap series!  Left a bunch of 10 pins one 7 and a game lossing stone 9 in the third game.  So so series with a 676.

Overall, just need to figure out how to carry better huh!

Average 215 but I know I could carry in the mid to high 220's at least.

God has blessed my with improving health as I am dealing with Ankylosing Spondilitis a genetic disease which fuses first the backbone entirely then major joints.  Presently my entire back is fused curvature forward to reduce my orginal height from 6'3" to about 5'10".

As I said God has been gracious for I take very little pain meds and can function almost without notice of problems most of the time. The traditional medical "Experts" say I will never get better.  Though in the past 3 yrs I have steadily improved strength, endurance, and reduction of pain.  Much of my success has been due Changing lifestyle habits such as complete vegan diet with extreme low starch acid forming foods.

My wife and I have a ministry that helps educate those willing to learn how using God's plan ideal for the human body; He created, can conquer disease, and give us real health and happiness.

Everyone enjoy bowling this year and remember in the context of eternity bowling is just a game to enjoy with everyone.

Be a friend to a child today,

God Bless
