Hey bowling boards!
First time poster.
A little background about me. I have been bowling on and off since I was 6. At 11 I joined a league for 3 seasons, earned a little money for college then quit. I justed used the money I got from my league and am enrolled in a bowling class. The first 2 weeks have been practice. First week was a 435 series and today was a 510 series.
First game
x 7/ 9/ 7- x 9/ 9/ x x 9/6 = 187
Second game
9- x 8/ 7- 81 9- 8/ 71 7/ x9- =135 ( I was in a mental rut and coundn't pick up my frames
Third game
9/ 9- 7/ 8/ 9- 9/ 8/ x x 8- = 188
I had potentialy 2 200 games but couldn't get a strike my final ball.
These games were bowled with house ball and my dexter shoes.
I have been bowling on the second dot with a 3 step approach with an occasional baby step to get me to where I need to be. I throw with the slightest curve but blame the lack of spin on the plastic house ball.
After the series my instructer congratulated me and worked with me. I was bowling on the second dot to the right and have moved over 1 to the left (where I used to start at) and am releasing at the second arrow.
My question to the community is:
Should I learn a 4 step approach?
What brand ball would you suggest for my experience level?
I would like to get some more movement into my throw, and even though I get good pin action, I would like to improve this even more.
Looking foward to hearing your answers.
