    I try to watch my approach speed and keep it slow, I noticed when I'm pulling the ball I'm running up to the line.

    Our alley has a nice lady with a mullet that brings your food.

    Default Iceman's Zen Feelings!

    Iceman’s focus is on becoming a part of the bowling ball,,,,,,,,. I am the ball, and the ball is me!

    We become one, not two separate forms of matter, but ONE UNIT, until the delivery!

    Each time the ball comes back to me and we are reunited and I place my anxiously anticipating rev packed fingers into its very soul,,,,, I get a feeling of completeness, ,,,, and all is well in the world!
    Don't walk on Thin Ice!

    I have to admit…there's a bartender at one of the places I bowl at that I've been tempted to hit on…she's quite large…but top-heavy in the boobage department…not much to look at…but unfortunately I'm at a fairly desperate stage right now…so I'm starting to dive deeper into the barrel.

    We're still talking about focus in our approach during bowling aren't we? Not focus during our approach to the ladies at the bowling alley.

    So if your post is on topic and I read between the lines, you are basically saying you focus on motorboating the bartender when making your approach?

    PAP 6 1/8" over 1/4" up
    13° axis tilt / 30°-60° axis rotation
