Spare shooting with plastic

[Bunny]

I just got done working with Barry Asher…top 50 bowlers in history…not one time did I hear him say, "Whoa…hold up…thats a spare…where's your spare ball?" Not once did I hear him say, "Okay…I see where your problem is…I have a ball that can fix that."

That's because at the $10 clinic they only look at how you're throwing your strike ball and give you a couple/few tips.


Even with a private lesson with Mark Baker, he only works your strike ball. I guess if you can master throwing your strike ball well in a lot of conditions, the spare shooting will come along fairly easily. (Like Hampe said he learned.)

I know absolutely ZERO bowlers that would actually do that.

Actually, you know at least two bowlers who have used their spare ball for their strike ball when the conditions were tough and nothing else was working. I've done it in league at Carter and the guy who we bowled last week (who is a good bowler) has done it. It's good team play.

I've never seen you use the blue/white spare ball on your first shot. I've seen you switch back and forth between the First Blood and Hy Road for strike shots but I can't remember ever seeing the white/blue ball on a first shot. I must have been off acquiring gin and tonics or something...because I've never seen that. And I can barely remember who it was we played last week, much less what ball they threw. I think it was two older ladies and a younger bald guy. I thought they all pretty much just threw one ball...but you'd know better since I'm sure you have bowled against them more often in the past....like I said, I can barely remember who we played.

I guess if you can master throwing your strike ball well in a lot of conditions, the spare shooting will come along fairly easily.

If you can truly master throwing your strike ball...you'll technically never need a "spare ball" because you'll knock down all 10 pins on the first ball every time.

But it's all good. It really doesn't matter at the end of the day.

Besides...you think Bowl1820 is gonna allow ME to win a ball???!"[/I]

Well I don't have a thing to do with picking who wins a ball.

But every ones right marks thread here has been totally hosed so I'm ending it.
