Bowling on a sport pattern (viper for the youth league) without knowing about it at first, was a great challenge. My goal today was to work on spares and since I couldn't hit the pocket and/or the spot down the lane consistently, I was leaving several types of spares - washouts and buckets included.
When I realized I wasn't on a wall shot, I changed my other plan and decided to work on my release. I wanted to see the effects of diff. axis rotation and axis tilt on the condition I was on and playing up the boards and inside the track. Also, see if I can repeat the shot when there was a release/roll that worked. It was a touchy shot - no hold and no outside, pretty tight.
The key too was to pay attention to my speed. I use the speed monitor for feed back. If I can keep my speed around 17.5mph playing up and 16.5+ when I played inside. The exit point was just outside the 10th board 38-40 ft down lane (7-9 board area). Though there were different lines (x2)I could to play on the viper today, repeating shots, speed, and focus had to be almost perfect. Unlike the House shots that hides my mistakes.
Overall, it was a good 8 games session. I normally just use 4 games to do drills/practice, but I don't always get to pactice on sport. But knowing they do this every week, I'm excited to do this in two weeks. Next, I'm at a tourney.
