It's hard to tell from the angle of the video but you should notice that I am playing a little deeper inside. This is because the Singles event is the 7th through 9th games played on the pattern and by this point it's a little broken down and there is more friction in the heads. This of course means that though you have to move inside to get the ball to push down lane but you still need quite a bit of down lane reaction to turn the corner and carry the corner pins... or hit the two out of the rack for that matter. In the Doubles event the break point was a little more broken down and the break point down lane allowed a more aggressive move into the pocket; the singles pair I bowled on however had a weak break point and it took me too long to adjust to it. I kept wanting to throw my Fury Pearl which was more aggressive to get the late drive into the pocket. My 148 game should have shown this was not working. I eventually settled on my Twisted Fury and added a pinch more speed. I moved my feet a couple boards right and my target break point a couple boards inside and increased my speed and was finally rewarded with a consistent shot that carried. I was able to use this shot to limit the damage in game two with a 178 and then finally eek out a 202 in game three as I refined the shot. Unfortunately the 148 in game one killed my chances at getting anything in the brackets or the over all singles standings. I did bettered my Team event scores... so at least I've got that going for me. For Day 2 I was a combined -15 for 6 games... quite average if you ask me. I should have adjusted faster. Ohh well, there's always next year.
