Hitting My Mark
Lately I have been trouble staying on my mark. I have no problem finding it, but after the first couple of grams, I just can't stay there. Any suggestions on how you stay focused ob your mark?
Once I get set at my starting position, I look at my mark, not the pins, until I have released the ball and I keep looking at it until the ball goes past my mark. This helps me stay focused on it and only it. If I miss it, I miss it by a board or two. The lanes I bowl on usually allow for an error of up to three boards with still hitting the pocket. The lanes are ery forgiving too which helps.
I'm just getting back into bowling after a long layoff and I find myself missing my mark in the later games just due to a lack of stamina and focus. It's improving with every session but I guess it'll take a little time before I can bowl those marathon sessions I used to in my 20's

Outstanding article...I knew I had been doing some things similar to to what this says, but Slowinski does a great job explaining.

Seems that process would only work if you know the oil pattern. If you don't know the oil pattern then you have to make a guess as to where the oil pattern ends to use this process. Plus you could fall under the spell of over thinking.
Most THS are 38-44 feet. 3 rolls and you will know where it ends or you could just ask who ever oiled it. It's not that much thought; look down lane for a later break, short for an earlier break.

I find when I start to miss my mark, I am trying to rush things. I slow down my approach some and start hitting my mark more consistently
Thanks for all the input!!!
