Looks like you were having trouble hitting your mark in the beginning. Am I right?
Spare shooting is great. No complaints there.
On a normal day, how often are you striking vs. leaving pins?

Your footwork as a whole seems kind of rushed. You go set nicely, then seem to run through your shot, have you ever tried making your first couple steps a little more timed and deliberate?
i normaly strike 4-6 times game but yeah was having a hard time
Zrock any ideas on how to fix that i try'd to slow it down and it never seems to help i still rush a guy on my league tells me i rush every time i just dont know how to fix it like i try to slow my steps down but soon as my arm starts to swing i go lol

I see two things. The first frame you shot, your slide foot was facing the right wall. That makes your shoulders open too much and you end up facing 10 - 12 lanes to the right. Each time you do that, the only way to follow through is across the front of your body forcing you to pull your arm (and the ball) to the left. Try to keep the slide foot "always " facing the pins. ( and you did on the spare and the first ball second frame)
Next, I'm guessing you're leaving several spare shots because you are "Anticipating Your Shot". This is my term, not yet patented, when you look up from your target a split second before releasing the ball. YOU MUST watch the ball roll over your target on every single shot. You cannot hit what you don't see and if you lift your eyes too soon 99% of the time you'll pull the ball to the left. Why ? Because your hand will "ALWAYS" follow your eyes. Remember the three most important things in bowling...Accuracy, Accuracy, & Accuracy. Try these things next time you practice and let me know if they helped. Your strike percentage will go up.

Heh, this was my problem yesterday. One day I'm shooting 200s, the next I'm shooting 150s. This older gentleman who was hanging out stopped me between frames and mentioned that he noticed that right before I was releasing the ball, my head was coming up and I was taking my eyes off my mark. I thanked him and things improved from there. Sometimes a little reminder is all it takes.Originally Posted by Tampabaybob
Okay. Just checking. Half the time I practice, I only shoot strike shots. If I leave any pins standing, I just reset it and take another strike shot. Amazingly, my strike percentage has jumped up a noticeable amount.i normaly strike 4-6 times game but yeah was having a hard time
Greenday...... On Saturday's when I coach the kids I always kid them about needing to go out to my car and get the 2x4. They understand what I'm trying to say to them and they start listening a little more.
Also, I must "ASSUME" that your spare shooting percentage is at least around 98% !! Right ? That's the ONLY reason you should have for NOT shooting spares !! Wait a minute, I'm gonna go get my 2x4 and introduce you to it !! LOL

During league, when I'm not screwing around, I maybe miss one spare a night that isn't a split or a "non-split" that involves the head pin standing (a.k.a. a 1-2-4-10). Spare shooting isn't my problem.
That's great. You do have a high spare percentage. What are you averaging now?

Lately I've been shooting around 190 averages in league.
