Smiling Bowler Practice Sessions

[Tampabaybob]

TampaBayBob!!! Great advice my friend.

Tonight I was able to keep my eyes on my mark and stare at that mark until my ball took my eyes to the pocket.

Threw a 610 and you can see the scoresheet here:

FANTASTIC. I'm glad to see that it helped. Just keep on doing that and keep your focus sharp.

Today was a different kind of practice session. I left the gadgets and gizmos behind, didn't even record my scores. I know none of my games were over 175, but it was a morning of mostly spare practice followed by a game of throwing the Black Widow a couple different ways. Mostly pointer and pinkie finger adjustments to see how the ball reacts. One thing is for sure, I'm now just as confident that my Black Widow can handle heavily oiled lanes and look forward to putting that ball to more good work when needed.

This week's focus will be on my mark and confidence in my adjustments. First step before the adjustment is to ensure I released the ball how and where I intended, then and only then will make any adjustments. Eliminating the guesswork and going with the confidence of lessons learned.

Sounds good. Let me know how you do.

Question: why not post this in the post your scores sub forum?

You know, Lockwood, I guess I didn't think of where specifically to post this thread. I just posted it in the first one I saw here to have some conversation. Didn't really think about posting in that sub-forum. I wonder if there'd be a way, reason or purpose to move it there. Either way, thanks for the suggestion.
