Series

I was very nervous in my first regional and it showed the first few games.

Games

Game 1

Score: 137
Pair: 19-20

Gripped to hard with the thumb and kept sticking. Tried moving inside to compensate for the sticking and give room. Didn't work. Stood about 24 threw over 15. Inside stayed dry and reacted strong, not much hold. Used Mission.

Game 2

Score: 154
Pair: 21-22

Hit the pocket more. Moved to 26 over 14 - 16. Missed to many spares. Started using Cell Pearl.

Game 3

Score: 171
Pair: 23-24

Got even looser and relaxed. Switched back to Mission because the Cell Pearl was just not finishing, a little late. Started to move outside. Stood about 21 over 12. Touchy, if outside didn't come back inside hooked to early no hold. When switched to mission in 8th or 9th frame. moved even further out. Stood on 17 over 8-9. Worked!

Game 4

Score: 268
Pair: 27-28

Got in the groove! A couple ringing 10s and hit pocket the whole time. Stood 17 to 18 over 8-9 and maybe went out to 5-6. Great hold and good power with the mission. Was finally relaxed and the ball came off great.

Game 5

Score: 198
Pair: 29-30

Close to same line. Missed on carry now. Hit most spares, but missed an easy one. If I went outside 5 is we to slick and didn't come back. Stood on 18 over 9 out to 6. Mission was ball of choose the rest of the way.

Game 6

Score: 191
Pair: 31-32

Same as last but missed a couple of easy spares. Hanging in there.

Game 7

Score: 185
Pair: 13-14

A couple of miss shots, but carry was gone. Hit pocket 9 out of 11 shots. Still playing 17 - 19 over 8 - 9 out to 5 - 6.

Game 8

Score: 183
Pair: 15-16

Damn carry! None at all, but my fault. Had a touch to much speed and didn't figure it out until last ball, ofcourse. Hit the pocket on all shots. Had mostly 10s some 7s. Had the line.

Looks like you got pretty lined up after those first couple of nervous games. Good job in your first (of many?) regional!
