I have noticed how styles of bowling have changed. I have seen lefty, righty, both hands, feet, (handicap guy with no arms. has a 212 average.) no thumb hole, no middle finger hole. All with different outcomes and history. Some people believe that bowling should be done with one hand so that it is fair. Well with each style comes it's own flaws and benefits. One hand has accuracy and control, but not always a heck of a lot of power behind it. Two hands has a ton of power, however it requires more ...
I felt a lot more confident tonight as we were getting ready to bowl. However, that did not translate into the scores I anticipated. I had 5 strikes the first game. The problem was that 4 out of 5 of them came on the left lane. I rolled a clean game with one double for a 202. The 2nd game, the lanes transitioned, and I did not make the correct adjustments, and I had 3 splits in a row, and had a total of 4 splits in the 2nd game. I ended up rolling a 164 for the 2nd game. In the 3rd game, ...
Had a pretty bad week last week, and circumstances didn't allow me to get any practice until today (and didn't bowl on Wed due to my wife being sick). (If you want to see any of my blogs for previous weeks, they can be viewed at http://tinyurl.com/art-word-bowling or http://arts-bowling.blogspot.com/. I started out last week trying to roll on the outside with a week ball, and got nothing but bad breaks, and had no room for error. My team mate recommended moving inside, so I gave ...
How many times have you seen a team mate throw a bad frame, only to lose their cool and subsequently it costs them an open the very next frame? It happens all the time, and I bet each and every one of us who have ever picked up a bowling ball and bowled competitively have a similar experience to what I just mentioned, only it is YOU, and not a team mate, who is the culprit. Most of us competitive bowlers are now a week or two into the fall league season, and as we get back into the ...
So yesterday I got to do my first day of bowling after coach suggested that I make some changes to my approach. Seems that I was starting too close to the line, and doing a 4 step approach that made my timing very early, and putting more muscle than is needed in my swing. Also the suggestion came that I should start with the ball at the center of my body, thereby encouraging a figure-8 swing to help me project out more. So instead of starting 2-1/2 feet in front of the dots, I'm ...
Well here we are the last week of the doubles and we are lying in 6th place after our last game where we lost 6 – 2, we are 1 point off 5th and 5 points off 4th so all we can do is go for all 8 points and hope that the other teams drop points. There was no game last Monday due to a bank holiday so we have had to wait two weeks for this game and I have not been able to get near a bowling lane. So here we go. Game 1 and not a good start missed a couple of 9 pins and then had a big split, ...
:cool:[QUOTE=bowlingjunkie24;15185]We started a league last week, but I had to work when the league started. I bowled Friday Night, my scores where 268+212+181. That ended me with a series of 661, as a starting average of 220 for the league.[/QUOTE]
Here is a link to a resource for some great bowling info: http://home.earthlink.net/~litefrozen/index.htm I am going to try and use this info to help set up brackets and side pots for my scratch tournament, as well as score input. If anyone has any other links to cheap tournament software, or bracket programs, please let me know, thanks! -James (Maine Man)
Sept 1-Beaver-Vu. To facilitate the healing of the bicep tendon tear, the doc put me in a full arm cast Friday. Up until bowling, it hasnt been too hateful, but the cast is harder to bowl with than the splint. Started out with 3 in a row, finished at 212, but lost to my opponent by 1 (dang handicap!) I think this house will be my "character" house, as the scores didnt get any better-finished at 562 for the night. I suppose bowling here will help the overall game, ...
