    Default Hello from a new member!

    Hello,

    I was excited to come across these boards dedicated to bowling. I joined my first bowling league in 2002 and have been addicted ever since. In 2005 I shot my first (and only) 300 and in 2007 I shot an 826 series (which tied the Massachusetts Women's Record). Generally I average somewhere between 200 and 210. Last year was my best season (213) and this year the worst I have had in several years (195). I have been plagued by bowler's elbow for the better part of it and my scores have been all over the place. I have bowled as many as five leagues in a season, but now am only in a scratch match play league. Working through the elbow issues and hoping the few weeks I took off recently have helped.

    Looking forward to talking about bowling and more bowling!

    Christina

    Welcome!
    Sorry to hear about your elbow problems. Have you asked anyone that knows your game to watch you bowl to see if anything has changed that would be putting more stress on your elbow?

    I have one person that might be able to help, but now that I am injured I cannot straighten my arm and that has caused my armswing to become increasingly worse. I ended up going to less aggressive equipment to counteract the elbow issues. I have not bowled in three weeks, but I am doing tennis elbow exercises, icing my arm, and taking Aleve. Tonight (Friday) will give me a better idea of where I am at. I have a tournament coming up in a few weeks in Vermont (singles/doubles/teams). I am trying to "save" my elbow for that. Basically the goal is to get through the season and use the summer to recoup and fix any mechanical issues I have likely developed that caused the elbow issue in the first place.
