What would you want if it were possible to make one change in your bowling ???

Judy, One of the things that I've done in the past is to let someone video the lesson. They'll either set up the camera behind the lanes or have someone with them do it for them. I don't mind it at all, it not interfering with what I'm doing and it's something that you can take home and review. A PICTURE IS ALWAYS WORTH THOSE 10,000 WORDS. Ask your coach if he wouldn't mind letting you video tape your next lesson. I'm sure that most would say sure, no problem. That way it stays with you and when you feel a little "OFF" you replay that tape !! How's that sound?

If I could make one change to my normal bowling style, I'd adjust my swing plane. At some point when I go back to one-handed, that's what I'll be working on.

TC...Not to jump in on Judy's post, but let me just address, what you just wrote. Your swing plane, whether you're bowling two handed or one handed is going to be very similar. Your head should still be over the top of your arm swing, on your delivery, regardless of how you bowl.

Your best bet is to do a video of yourself and have us take a look at it. Or have a buddy video you. If possible take a few shots (frames) from the side as well. There may be something very slight that is giving you problems and another pair of eyes can see. In this case possibly several sets of eyes !!! LOL Anyway post one up here and let us take a look at what you're doing and we'll see if we can help you out.

I agree. However, it wasn't. That's why I wanted to fix the one.

Thanks, but I already fixed it. It took me about three games of trying various adjustments and my swing plane is just fine now.

TC... Good to hear you fixed the problem. Good practice and concentration on your main point of change usually will do it. Good Luck, hope to see a post soon about your 300 game/800 series !!
