Release it closer to the floor. Bowling balls are made to roll, not toss or throw.

Or you could go back to the old rubber balls and see if it would bounce straighter and stay on the lane.

Yiyiyi, why am I even doing this???? Got to go for a second glass of wine.

Get yourself a grown up ball. Throw it one handed and you are all set. Or ask your high school coach...

Get yourself a Columbia 300 Swerve with Hypershock Technology.

Since you have opted to stay with the chest pass style i would say go with a 6 lb ball and throw it all the way to the pins. That way you can avoid the bouncing off the lane. Obviously this will take some practice. Good luck.

The distance is quite coincidental, but interesting.

The world record shot put is 75' 10.23"

Thats with a 16 lb metal ball.

If you stood behind the approach (most approaches are 15 feet long) that 75' 10.23" would have the ball landing between the 2 and 3 spots.

Obliviously this will make him even better at all patterns because he will take the oil out of play. Now I'll never be able to beat him :rolleyes:

God you all have drawn me into posting on this nonsense again :mad:

It won't necessarily make him better, but it will make him more consistent.

But he will complain about how the air conditioner is effecting his shot instead of the oil pattern.

Do they have shot put in Charleston?

Or do they even have any flat ground in Charleston.

Truthfully not much. That's why most things are built near a river or in a valley, Which is why we have flooding issues
