    I ask my team if they see anything wrong then I just keep trying. First I go to my trusted go to ball, play like a Stroker and pray like a Roman Catholic priest.

    This is of course the correct answer. That's why the bar is right there by the lanes.

    I tend to throw the ball harder but play less hook. If all else fails try using brute force!

    I havn't been bowling long enough to get into those tight situations where others are counting on you, as I am not on a league yet. But when I am practicing and I just keep messing up, I tend to force myself to smile and start whistling. Clears my head and makes me think about something else, while letting the body do what it does.

    go to the bar, order a single shot of whiskey, try to relax my body and slow down. when i am really having a hard time i find that slowing my approach and my swing down really helps and the whiskey helps my body not be so tense. when i bowl badly, i get frustrated and my muscles tense up.

    When things don't go right,I just use that game as a practice game and hope things get better! If nothing is working period,i'll just pretend i'm practicing and chaulk the games up to having 1 of those nights where nothing is going to work. No sence in forcing things to work!
