Vaguada's impressions

As I did promise some days ago, here I post a few word abot the oil pattern of the Vaguada Tournament.

I did play yesterday and my score was 1239 (1269 including handicap): is it going to be enough for making the cut? I hope so, but I'm not pretty sure.

Currently I am 9th, and only Erwin beats me scracth. What does it mean? Easy: the players with high scores are players with handicap, ant that means, once again, that the lane condiction is not easy.

Given that, my impressions were the opposite. I found the lane pretty easy. It was not a House pattern, not at all, but I had no problems for finding the pocket.

Despite past experiences in this bowling center, even the line is similar, we can find more opcions. Perhaps I missed some oil inside, but definitely it has more that last year and that help the ball to go down the lane before hooking. At least for the first 4 games. After that, it gets some complicated.


Myself, following Pablo Barriopedro's wise advice, wen to the bowling center with many different balls and ready to use them. And I did! In the 4th game I scored around 220 using... 4 different balls!

I started with my Cherry Vibe, switched to a Track Equation (second hand and polished) and tried my Kinetic. But I finished the game with a Ebonite SR300. Ironically I "only" scored 209 and 199, but with thousand of strikes!

I bowled inside, with power on my wrist and searching for a breakpint not so outside. I was able to score over 200, yes, but leaving a solid 8-10 and a solid 5-7 on the same pair...

Waht is clear to mea is that outside is not a good place. You must keep 6 games so accurate, so is not the way.

Any doubt or comment?
