    Haha! Me too! Maybe that's why I don't have a 300 yet??? Anyway that's my goal. I've only had (2) 700+ series which I was very excited about, now I'm looking for the 750+ or maybe, possibly an 800 series (dare to dream!) . . . I know my weakness is in my approach (only 3 steps) which means I have to pack a lot of movement into those steps which means that my finish isn't always balanced . . . if that makes any sense to anyone. I really need to add that 4th step, I'm just afraid of change that drastic in the middle of the season.

    My goals are to have an average of 200 (currently 180) by the end of the year. With any luck at all, I hope to have my first 300 as well.

    I'd recommend if you can find time/money to do it...just go in to your center, and practice the 4 step. I'm willing to wager that once you figure it out, it'll take you 5 games or so and you'll have it down!

    You don't need to do it for league just yet. I personally practice my 4 step approach (as opposed to 5) just to keep me on top of my game. I never use it in league unless the lanes are real wet, or I'm in dire need of a change of pace.

    jus' sayin', I have faith in ya!

    cheers!

    My goals:

    - Get my average up to 180 (I'm a first year bowler, I started the season at 111, now my league average is at 150, and I've been averaging 185 the last few weeks with several 200+ games)
    - 700 series (I broke 600 twice)
    - Learn how to read the lanes better and make adjustments quicker
    - Have fun!

    Goals for next season:
    Ave 210 for season
    Have more good weeks.(My bad weeks were better this year, just too many of them)

    Practice at least 30 games a week
    Get comfortable throwing plastic ball at lefthand spares.
    Improve release.
    Increase ball speed.

    My first goal is to get my 2nd 300 so I know the first wasn't a fluke. My second goal is to do good at States which I will be bowling next week. It would be sweet to have my second perfect game come at states.
