In round 2, I played out looking at 3 or 2 depending on the lane. I didn?t seem to have much area, but when I threw the ball well, it usually would hit the pocket. I had a little bit of trouble starting in game 4 tugging the ball which resulted in a couple of splits. To keep from tugging the ball so bad at the end of game 5 I decided to throw the ball very hard up the 2 board as opposed to the little bit of belly I was using. Unfortunately my carry wasn?t very good the last game and I finished with a 196. I finished the day at +205 which was in 14th place. 32nd was at +132 while it took +40 to advance to the next round. I was fortunate that I didn?t have more splits and off pocket strikes, but my carry could have been better. Hopefully my reaction will be a bit better and I can throw the ball better. Making the top 32 is my main goal, but finding a better ball reaction for match play would be nice.
