    Default Wow, amazing night, major milestones.

    So tonight was one of those nights when you realize that all the extremely frustrating "I hate this game I want to quit and never care about it again" nights that came before it really paid off.

    For the first AND second time I broke 200. I got a 235 and a 203. This was an amazing feeling especially since I cracked 200 before the tenth frame. I can really feel like I have really improved. Pretty good games overall. Basically during these games I was standing on 25 and aiming for 2nd arrow.

    But that wasn't all,
    I do believe I improved my ball speed a little; I took some quicker steps. Hard to explain but I feel I got into a little pace rythym that worked well.
    I think I was able to get a little side roll on my ball, not too sure. I tried the Pete Weber thing where I started my middle finger at 7oclock and then wrapped it around through the follow through. I also tried keeping index and pinky finger spread apart. I also felt myself being able to give the ball a little more lift so hopefully more revs eventually.

    I think a lot of the problems I attributed to the ball were partially because of me but I can still see quite a difference between the DV8 Misfit and my previous main ball the Damage.

    Congradulations on the 235 & 203! The true test will be in leauges where you will have other bowlers on the lanes.

    Good luck & good scoring!

    Good games. One other suggestion; move your pinky as close to your hand as you can and index finger as far away as you can. This will help with your revs a little.

    in addition to Bill's post, read this to learn more about finger positions to help increase control of the balls reaction.

    I thought that was to increase axis rotation.
