Well on Sunday, after doing terrible the first game and half of the 2nd, I said to myself, "I need a beer." Got my beer, Didn't do any better. But atleast I wasn't thirsty!
I see you finally made the 5000 mark. Congrats !! Don't let the "BOWLING GOD" thing go to your head though !! LOL

LOL, Gunz. If you are going to suck, at least be drunk while sucking.
That's what I told my wife !Originally Posted by JDHamm85

Sometimes I have to remind myself to "RELAX!" When I start messing up, it's because I get mad at myself for making a bad shot, having a horrible release etc. When I tell myself to calm down and relax, I usually do well.

I have a bad habit of rushing my shots. I don't say anything I just take a deep breath then blow it out and bowl before I breath in again. helps me to focus and take my time.

I usually take a deep breath and focus on my mark. - NO THINKING beyond the approach, that should alread be done.
I want to attempt to count my steps to myself in a rhythemic pattern in order to get my footwork more consistent. Has anyone done this? Do you recommend it? I don't want to totally foul myself up trying it, tho.

I don't necessarily count, but I take a few practice steps up to the line before I begin bowling to set my cadence and rhythm. So I guess it's kind of like counting without the numbers
I think with the approach change last night, I need to put a big smacking piece of tape on my shoe that reads "THIS FOOT FIRST" ... old habits die hard!
My wife tried counting her steps when we changed her approach. She used to just pick up the ball and go now she actually sets her feet and looks at her mark. But as for counting steps it just made it worse for her because then she was thinking too much about her steps and she would take too many not enough etc. Once we figured out where to start and how many steps i just told her to step with her left foot first and don't think about it after that, and its worked great.
