you have to know my wife, she thinks everyone is watching her bad bowling. Doug

Doug.... Maybe, just maybe, I could help her as well. That is is she's open to having a little help. I don't think I'm that intimidating so I would stay in the background. Hey, maybe I could wear a disguise !! Only kidding. Let me know if she reconsiders. Right now I'm still working and no one knows when the final day will be. Don't think they know as well. Just let me know.

well things are getting better, I changed me delivery a little and I am scoring better and more consistent. My last three game were 152,177 and 201. I know that doesn't sound very consistent, but it is a great improvement for me. What I am doing is cupping the ball at address with my left toe on the 5th dot and throwing the at the 12th board (between the 1st and 2nd arrow) with my thumb going from 2:00 over to 10:00. right or wrong to seems to work. my average has gone up around 60 points. I don't see me getting much better but at my age (71), I am happy with that. thanks for all the help. Doug

I think thats a great improvement over what you were shooting. I'm guessing that at "our" age, 200 average is not out of reach. As you bowl, and your accuracy increases you will see improvement. Just keep thinking, accuracy, accuracy, accuracy !! LOL

Hand position changes can definitely help. don't be afraid to experiment.

By the way, here's a link to this months new 'Bowling This Month' magazine. Can't say enough good about this mag. Enjoy.

Thanks for the posting the pdf link. After reading it I'm definitely going to subscribe to the magazine now! I learned so much in a couple of articles that will definitely help my game or has answered some questions I already wanted to ask, but didn't know how to word them! Thanks again Tampabaybob!
