  1. To Spare Ball or Not To Spare Ball, That is The Question.

    On bowlingboards there is a message thread that talks about the use of spare balls. I was part of the discussion there on using spare balls or not. I was taught at a young age not to try so much for a strike but to focus on picking up the spare. this meant changing my start position to allow my ball to curve back to pick up the spare or hit the pins just so to pick up the spare. With thinking about this topic, I decided to take my Brunswick Ambush(12lb) ball with me to my latest practice session. ...
  2. Lane Lovers Jubilee update (THREE-WAY TIE!!!)

    What a great night of bowling for my team, Showtime. We were able to pull out three game win and also took the series total. It was a great night and we all were pretty much on point. I started out kind of rough but was able to get it together part way through the second game to finish with a strong first game. The first place team, Hot Mess, pulled out a complete sweep of Summer Cooler. The second place team, Pin and Tonics, bowled my team and we swept them. This caused them to drop out of ...
  3. 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.

  5. 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 ...
