    Default Back on the lanes.

    Hello all, I'm James.

    I'm a pin bowler, I still count steps during my delivery and sometimes write "Follow through" on my forearm. I used to bowl, alot, until I burned out on it. Now I'm back on the lanes, just meeting people here.

    Welcome. There are a lot of college and pro bowlers that write reminders on the toes of their shoes. The counting may help you relax so that would help too.

    The only thing written on my shoes is a big L and big R, after a few to many I need a reminder

    Welcome back to bowling James! I'm trying to come back from being burnt out as well..

    I always counted steps for as long as I can remember.. I talked to myself a lot, too. Towards the end, right before I burned out, I was biting the insides of my lips during delivery, by the end of the night I was always bleeding.
