This one thing can make or break you when bowling

[Aslan]

rv: Gotta go with granny here. The first step, both in direction and particularly length can mess up timing faster than just about anything else. When the first step is too long, you are well on your way to late timing and a shot that misses to the outside.

Hey! I resemble that remark! nuk nuk nuk

Hello Noeymc .... please let me apologize for not knowing how to ask a question here, and I'm hoping that you might be able to help. I was watching PBA Bowling on TV this past weekend and saw the guys using this kind of "mouse pad" looking thing to wipe off the ball between throws. Later the same day I watched the NCAA women and they were also using this "mouse pad" looking ball wipe. It retained it's shape, unlike a towel, and was blue on one side and black on the other. Any idea what these are and where to get them? Thanks so much ... sorry again for the newbie post.

Why are you asking noeymc here? Actually, why ask noeymc at all...I think he's like a 17yr old kid.

Yes he would be better off asking you a full grown man with the mind of a 17 year old

Hey!! Aslan is my hero! Don't rain on my parade!

I agree with this, too. I know I've been trying to add rev rate to my game, and last year I discovered my timing was very late. Ever since I realized that, I've worked to get it where it needs to be. I've just recetnly changed to semi-roller out of full roller, so I'm still kind of taking baby steps to get better. I think next time I practice, I'll keep my eye on how slow or fast my feet goes, that way I'll be able to tell when the timing's on line or off.

I am still learning how to roll the ball and not throw it aimlessly at the pins. I will place my vote as rolling the ball properly with a consistent aim as the most important.

Timing is everything!

The bowling technique is really a small series of repetitive movements.. The bowler who does this the most consistent generally speaking , will be the one who walks home with the trophy in my books.

When I'm scoring well, I feel so well balanced at release, when I'm stinking up the lanes, timing/balance at fouline is the first thing that feels off..

Also, poor timing, can sometimes come down to that first step, over striding/under striding, too faster a feet.

Timing is everything, because all those individual movements aren't just individual movements; they're parts of a whole system of ball-delivery. They all need to work together in the proper sequence, or they don't work well. Ever try to drive a car where the engine timing is off? Same thing.
