First of all, I am averaging 174 in the mne's league at my local house. This past Thursdy night, I had a 593 series which included a 257 the last game. First frame, spare, then reeled off 7 straight strikes. I should have 8 but as I got ready to release the ball, my thumb didn't feel right. Too late, 7 spare. I have a question about my first 2 games, a 184 & a 152. I was throwing the Tour, but it didn't seem to work as well until the lanes dried up some. It was a THS and I was using the first arrow, then the 8 board finally the 10 board. Should I consider getting something else to use the first game into the second game. I even went back to my Track 715C and lost it. Thanks.
