Another plateau reached?

Mentioned last week following the last solo practise that after three sessions with no further improvement, maybe I'd reached a plateau. Well, with a big improvement this evening I'm hoping I've stepped up to another level.

For the first time I managed to get more than half the ends with two or more bowls within one metre of the jack. That kind of result would make it very difficult for an opponent... it's much more likely at least one of my woods would be the nearest, maybe two or even three. And that's not to say all the other ends where I only got one wood within a metre wouldn't be a winning end for me. In fact there were only two out of eighteen ends where I failed to get at least one wood within one metre.

Hopefully the latest improvement is timely, with mine and Geoff's club pairs final next Sunday. I'm hoping my performance will be even more effective, given I'll be bowling second so the woods going past the jack this evening would be rolling up against others in the final.

And then there's another a big match the week after against my two brothers on their home turf at Scone Bowls Club. Just got to have a result for that!

Here are a few updated graphs of solo results...

Look at the jump in ends with 2 or more bowls near the jack!

Thus an increase in bowls near the jack.

Medium & long ends are consistently my best.
