I picked the 4pm Friday slot over the Saturday morning one and my bowling average went up 18 pins
For 6 months I bowled in a Saturday 9am league at the lanes over on Route 9 in Portsmouth, and I kept telling myself the early time was the problem. Last week the league asked if I wanted to switch to the Friday 4pm slot instead, and I almost said no because it felt like giving up. I took it anyway, and in my first two weeks there I rolled a 187 and a 194, which is way above my usual 160s. I think it's the lane oil pattern being fresher plus not rushing out of bed at 7:30. Has anyone else moved their league night and had a jump like that, or is this just a hot streak I should not read too much into?
