    Yup, accuracy and consistency are my boogeyman, as they are for most bowlers.

    100% more flexability. I am a tall, stiff old guy with a high lunge finish. Knees are bent (about as much as they want to go), but I am still not close to the floor. I see a number of pros (Wes Malot, for one) with high finishes, so I guess it's okay, but I am still green with envy when I see these young guys with the super high backswing dynamically powering to a whisper quiet relese, Like Michael Fagan "Whooosh".

    Not reallly required to bowl well, but it looks so great. I wish that were me.
    I live by three simples rules:

    1. Don't ever ask about my business
    2. Never discuss business at the table
    3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family

    Only if you buy the official PBA argyle Fagan jersey. There's a lot of fine print in the guarantee but I'm sure it must work

    For me it would be to loosen up my arm swing. I carry all my stress in my shoulders and my swing is really tense, for some reason I just can't let my arm relax enough with that much weight in my hand.

    Better balance at the foul line. Sometimes after I release the ball I am a little off balance. I think it might be my slide foot not getting under the center of my body or I muscle the ball right before the release.

    Yoga. Seriously.

    It's wonderful for flexibility, and it has done me wonders. It's probably, honestly, the perfect bowling exercise.

    I want lessons this spring/summer from someone who is really good at doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I would need ongoing lessons, like once a week. I want to return to using my thumb on my strike ball. I know I am very close to being able to do it right, but my arm swing and release are a little out of whack. The position of my shoulders is a problem I think. I think I could get back on track pretty fast with some help.
