Flat 10 vs Ring 10

[Aslan]

Wait...how did I end up in this conversation?

Oh...Iceman again.

Don't worry Iceman...unlike all the self proclaimed experts on the internet...and those with high averages and multiple 300 games that bowl on a tilted lane in St. Louis....Aslan backs up his talk with walk. The challenge had been laid down. E-tank chose not to accept it. He slithered away to the "other website" to talk trash. zDawg has chosen to accept it and will face me in person, on video, March 1st! (mark your calenders)

Mike White has also expressed some willingness to "walk the walk" and face me...once I'm through with zdawg...I'll work on setting that up. And I will be IN Vegas the weekend of the 22nd so if Rob wants to meet the great Aslan and take up the challenge to improve his game by teaching this old dog new tricks...I'd be more than happy to discard my previous presumptions and let him show me how to "really bowl".

See Iceman...I actually AGREE with you about USBC numbers and such. I've posted video after video of myself bowling. And once I get my first league completed with an established average, the USBC number will be attached. I have NOTHING to hide. I accept my position as a sub-par bowler who is new to the game and quickly getting better. Could I lie? Could I just invent my scores and accomplishments and tell stories of my time on the PBA Tour? Sure. It's the internet for crying out loud!! And who's to say on other sites I'm not somebody else? But while I may not have JaMau's 300 games, or VDub's tournament prowess, or Bowl1820's resourcefulness, or Rob's technical knowledge....I DO have truth and a lack of fear on my side. That almost got me kicked off this site...but I survived. Say what you want...but I'm REAL.

What was this thread about? Ringing and flat 10-pins? As Mudpuppy would say:
1) Aslan needs to limit his responses to a half a sentence.
2) It's bowling, not rocket science.
3) Who cares why they are left standing....just go pick up the 10-pin and shut the **** up.
4) I don't like identifying the pins with numbers or using numbers to define ball reactions....it's too technical. I just throw the heavy ball at the front of the white triangle and BOOM....I let DV8 take care of the rest!!! Booyah!!

You will make believers out of all of us Rob, if you can whip Aslan into a Rock Solid champion bowling machine, not of the girley type!! Rob do you know of any chicks in Vegas that might.....na.... forget-about-it!! LOL

I hope this meeting takes place,,, Can't wait!!

Everybody this thread is getting off the O.P. topic. opinions has been expressed and It's starting to get personnel.

Let the O.P. decide who he wants to listen to and you guys quit arguing amongst yourself about who is right or wrong

You all need to drop it now.

Tempted. My only concern is "thus far" my attempts to develop a modern swing starting in the inside quadrant has failed miserably. If I keep my hand behind the ball…straight as an arrow, end over end. While I'm not giving up just yet, I'm starting to think maybe my hand just doesn't work like that. But, still, I don't make it out to Vegas very often (ever actually) so it might be interesting.

[RobLV1]

Aslan: For some reason, everyone here focuses on the modern release. Unless you have about 10 hours a week, outside of league, to practice it, I won't even show it to you. There's lots that you can do to improve your bowling without trying to reinvent your release. That's what I do; try and help people to improve their bowling, whatever their level.

Thank you Bowl 1820. I hate "B***h Sessions". I thought this was a place to get some advice on bowling technique. I hope all discussions don't devolve into drama.

So last night I had 5 in a row the in frames 6 and 7 i went flat 10. Moved one board left strike, fast 8, and pocket 7-10. With those results should I have made that adjustment?

[RobLV1]

Yes, when you start leaving flat tens, it definitely time to adjust. You say you moved one board left to leave the fast eight and pocket seven ten. Did you move just your feet, your feet and your eyes, or your feet and your eyes, and your breakpoint. Judging by the results of your move, my guess would be that your adjusted your feet, probably your eyes, but probably didn't consider the breakpoint (angle). Close?

Feet and eyes only
