Thread: Personal High For Me

  1. #1

    Default Personal High For Me

    Prior to March I had been bowling on and off for 10 years using a Brunswick Zone ball with a conventional grip. I had picked up a few 200+ games here and there. But nothing very consistent until February of this year. That's when I bowled at least one 200 game in each day that I bowled in a 2 week span (bowled 3 different days with in each of those days).

    Fast forward to March of this year when I saw and instantly fell in love with the Hammer Black Widow Assassin. The pro shop at the alley I was at had a good price on it and it included free drilling, free finger grips, a thumb insert, and one free lesson. Talk about a good deal! The pro shop owner convinced me that I should switch to finger tip drilling even though I didn't want to but I'm glad he did.

    Through out all of March, my bowling had been poor as I adjusted to the finger tip bowling style. But all that hard work and practicing finally started to pay off in April. Since April I bowled my highest game ever in a 245, a 233, and a handful of other 200s. My average has gone up by 30 pins to around 175 but I feel like it's only a matter of time before even my average goes up.

    WOW! Great bowling! Moving up from a plastic ball to a reactive ball will make the difference. I can't imagine bowling without a finger tip grip! Keep up the great work!
