How much practice arenyoungetting in these days?

[Blomer]

I bowl on Mondays and bend filling in everyother week on Sunday's, even more often than that lately, and here and there on Tuesdays. When not filling on Tuesdays, I generally come in to grow 5 games and then Friday's or another 5. When I practice, I usually throw the games and then work on what I need, for example if I have a split , I'll go for the 10 instead of the other two pins, or for the 7. It varies, but if I struggled on something in league then work on that.

I'll also use some balls I haven't usin a while to see if they artwork pulling out and then ill shoot with the ones I used in regularly in league. So I guess I'm all over the place.

Short answer? not enough... is it ever?

Long(er) answer - I bowl leagues 2x/week and practice usually 4 games 1 other day. I typically shoot a game of all 10-pins on ball 1, try to clean up whatever spare is left after. Still have my struggles, but since working on that more I've noticed the % start to creep up.

When I can, I will get some practice in on Sunday mornings, usually get about 6 games in total.

Try to get timing in check, get a good consistent feel for my approach and release. I typically use 5-6 different balls throughout warm ups and then in practice I use one ball per game, one game each to learn the differences between each one. I think with an arsenal, you are doing yourself and your game a disservice by not knowing exactly the differences each ball has for you on the lanes.

Last game I will go for nothing but the 10 pin. At my regular practice center, I can set up any sets of pins on the deck. Sometimes I will set the bucket along with the 10 pin so I can practice both in one frame. Seems though more often than not, I pick up the bucket and the 10 pin at same time. Maybe I should go for 10 pin first and then the bucket.

I don't worry about score AT ALL during practice. As long as I know that I am finding the pocket consistently and my timing in check, I am doing what I need to do.

Finding time to practice at my center is hard. Monday-Thursday evenings are filled with leagues. So only available time are days and weekends. Will try to squeeze in some practice time Saturday mornings though. I don't like to practice by myself anymore. Like to go with my wife or someone else. Truth be told it isn't practice, more like just regular bowling and having fun.

We get in 4 games every Monday. We have 2 lanes reserved Mondays at 6pm

I don't get as much as I like.

I dedicate my Thursday night handicap league to practice a lot of the time, and am not all that concerned about score (my team is in first place, too). Granted, I don't take an entire game and shoot corner pins.....but I try new lines, new setups, etc. during this league.

Yes, that would be awkward if you were only shooting corner pins at league

Must be something about CT. I was going to give the same short answer.

I bowl on a Wednesday night mixed league and usually afterwards my friends come and we bowl the late night special $8 for 3 hours of unlimited bowling. I also bowl every other Friday with my church in a bowling fellowship so usually Friday and the Wednesday late night, I use that as my practice and work on my B game. I'm most comfortable bowling down and in, so I move about 12 boards left and work on getting comfortable with that angle.

I have one night of league bowling and I go to my center at least one other time per week to get some practice in. Its not enough, but it keeps me married
