Taking notes

[scruffwhor]

Does anybody take notes while they're bowling?

Lets say there's 4 different centers you bowl to stay sharp on different house shots, and maybe a couple have $1-1.50 a game specials sometimes...

I'm trying to practice as much as possible for a Pro Shot league that starts May 9th.

I was thinking about getting some sort of printout where I could record where I threw the ball and where it hit the pins. As well as, which ball I used and what center I was at. Sometimes I miss my target, other times the ball does something I wasn't anticipating. Why did I leave the 10 pin this time???

Is this a little tedious?

Thanks

Not nearly as tedious as leaving a whole string of flat tens

The guys who have bowled PBA events will vouch for the usefulness if not the necessity of taking notes when you bowl.

There are a number of smart phone apps that let you do this on your phone or tablet.

i got a app on my ipod that i record my bowling and i can take a look and see how i bowled at that bowling center.

I'm 28 and don't have a phone that does the whole app thing....

Is there like a sheet that I could print out that has a lane lay out and I could draw where I was standing where I threw and where the ball hit the pins?

Thanks for the responses guys

Bowl1820 posted a link for a sheet called Bowling Performance Record. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find his post.

You've probably heard the saying "There's an app for that !" Go to the iTunes store and you should be able to find a few apps for the IPOD that'll work. They also have them for IPADs, too. They're better because you can see more on the screen. Time to buy an IPAD? Good luck, stay in touch.

"my lane play" is an awesome app although I have it on Android but I am guessing they have it for Apple also. Tons of things to track and set up.

I recently got a smartphone and My Lane Play but also have four years worth of notes on every shot I threw. I also track how many games per ball so I know when it's time to de-oil, resurface, etc..
