Hello,
Newbie here and glad to be on board with you folks!:)
Ive been bowling off and on for nearly 40 years and have just started bowling again! Im 55 years old and bowled 10 games last night. I noticed that my ball speed was only 11.5 mph which i know is really slow :eek:
However, i was really happy with my shot and scored ok (i average about 180 and last night i was about there). My ball doesnt rev high or low, about average. My shot was fine i think as it was sliding down the lane and snapping ok on the backend. BUT......i did notice that my ball speed was much slower than the other folks bowling. They were in the 14-16 range and i was consistantly in the 11-12 range.
Should i be concerned about this and try to speed it up or do you think im ok with this slow of a speed? My pin action was ok i think and the ball was carrying fine, but my shot is defintely SLOOOOW.
Looking forward to your input and thank you for your help!
my best to all!!
