    What is True Love's
    It's from Shrek. I guess True Love's form would look like "9-spare, 9-spare, 9-spare, etc.?" in bowling.

    Default 10,,,, beware icem man now has your number!!!

    What few I get now with the deadly aim, I pick them up 90 percent of the time. I simply stand far left in line with the gutter, aim center arrow and release the ball Palm UP, (when it leaves my hand its rolling end over end!


    I do throw a Weak ball, drilled that way, the Sling Shot. It has a LITTLE forgiveness, ( but not much) when thrown a little right of target.

    Most of the time now with my new release I hit it now dead on! FOCUS,,, and slow on the approach is now my new mantra!

    I think tens pins are in large part a HEAD THING! Once you come up with a delivery that your comfortable with... ( GAME OVER FOR THAT PESKY PIN)!

    TEN PIN ICE has your NUMBER!



    OOO SHIRT,,,, ICEMAN AGAIN

    That's how I throw too - very far left and throw down the center arrow with a weak ball. If I'm within a board, it covers no problem! The trick is staying slow and not overthrowing!

    P.S. I would still like to get a plastic ball at some point so I don't have to worry about oil and release differences.

    ONE THING about using a very weak ball, and shooting across the oil standing far left, and aiming center arrow with a palm UP release position, I get NO movement to the left at all.

    It might be fun to have a plastic ball, but in reality on 10 pins, shooting the way we do, the oil keeps my ball, which is spinning end over end, from moving at all. YOU would swear it was a plastic ball, instead of my weak sling shot!

    try the palm up release,,,

    A good old friend ask me the other day, after not missing any in league, "HOW Can I get them Ten pins"! I gave him the advice I mentioned above!

    Later after league he came up to me,,,, this guy is early 70's, and said: "Thanks Ice,,, it worked great!"

    Warmed my heart,,, which is not good for ICEMAN!!! (

    Jason Belmonte just logged in to get some advice on picking up 10-pins.

    Although...I have to admit...I kinda felt bad for him on King of Swing last night. I kinda has that "baby face" sort of innocence about him and he's always smiling. I think it would be hard not to like him. I always root for Rash against him...but I gotta admit...Rash kinda seemed like a jerk on that telecast. I don't know why. But Belmo seemed to be smiling and waving to the fans. But Rash had a bunch of false starts, and would get upset if he made a bad shot...he wanted nothing to do with Belmo...and before playing O'Neill almost seemed like he was counting O'Neill's warm-up shots so O'Neill didn't get too many. Plus he had 2 ball reps there and he didn't seem all that interested in listening to them.

    I don't know. I guess I'm waiting for a pro to emerge that is sort of the bowling fan's bowler. A guy that the fans love and he respects them and acknowledges them and puts on a show...but in a very respectable fashion. I mean, I love WRW...but he's come off as "akward". Same with Chris Barnes. And Bohn seems cool, but very almost timid. And PDW...well, I think he doesn't know what he wants to be. Half the time he seems like an elder statesman who is the bowlers bowler...then he'll go off on fans for making noises or make 1000 excuses for some bad shot.

    I don't know. I actually can't remember a pro bowler that was like what I'm describing. Even my boy Earl...was reserved, and akward. Of matter of fact...some who have crtiqued his book that he wrote think he might have been sort of insane.
