  1. Am I meant to be a pro bowler?

    I should start by saying I absolutely don't want too. I feel like I could take bowling back into the mainstream but taken seriously. I'm only 20 but life seems to offer me nothing friendly hints that professional bowling is what i'm meant to do. I'm only 20 and bowl three nights a week with my father. Thursday nights I average a 236. Friday nights I average a 232, and on Saturdays I average a 242. I have won tournaments and have done really well even coming in first more then I have lost. I'm the ...
  2. 2016-2017 season blog

    it's going to be my third year back bowling from my 13 year hiatus. I am ready to make the next step from last year. I went through all kinds of problems in my form and started out at a 135 average.I reset my whole approach last year and ended with a 175 average. We ended up in 2nd Place with a few bonus checks. I really took last year to relearn the game of bowling and now I am beginning to see the benefits. The USBC academy videos and the resources on this site has helped tremendously. I ...

  3. Is this a realistic possibility?

    I'm not currently in college but I have a plan I want to check on. I want focus on this only one section because I know everything else about schooling. Is it possible for me at 20 to achieve an athletic scholarship for bowling? I checked on every school that offers bowling and I outperform every one of there students. Can I call them and ask for them to check me out? I looked around online and I found some sources that say it's possible but a stretch. If I can get a decent enough scholarship I ...
  4. Bowling is bowling.

    I'm not sure how to change my username can someone help with that? So i'm just writing this blog entry in order to blow off some steam. I create a general dislike towards myself because of my failures in bowling. Last night I had a shot at a 300 and an 800 in the same set again. I say again because I have done it before. Problem was that this time I was nervous for no real reason. I bowl in a house where it takes a damn miracle for anyone to get 11 in a row. It's very easy to throw pocket 7-10s, ...
  5. Open(practice) Session

    A few days ago I went and did some bowling. During this session I tried out some techniques that were mentioned on http://www.bowlingboards.com/forum.php. The first is two finger bowling. The second is tucking the pinky finger. I had never thought much about any of these things at all till I went to the above site and read a little about. After asking some questions about it, I still didn't understand it fully and felt the only way for a left handed bowler to under stand these things. It would ...

  7. Back to Bowling

    My name is Jeff and bowling is my game. I have decided to start this blog for several reasons. The first is that I have been bowling ever since I was very young. My dad taught not only me, and my sister, but even got my grandfather into bowling back when he use to work part time at the local bowling alley. I took a 10 and a half year break due to serving in the US Coast Guard. Since getting out, I found that I have more free time than before. So I decided to get back into bowling. I joined ...
