I believe it has been proven that with 10000 hours of practice on any subject you can master the art.

Unless you are practicing the same bad habit 10,000 hours...

Just to put it in perspective. You see it in sports like golf and tennis. Better practice is more valuable than more practice.

You can think YOU CAN, on a lot of things in life, and still fail! I am not saying give up,,, Iceman don't have the gift. What I am saying is that there are MANY people I know that have that 220 average, that work at it that hard! Would they be even better with coaching, and practice?

honestly if they already have a 220 average they probably already have had coaching, or practice often. if they don't i wouldn't call it gifted without seeing how they bowl, i watch 10 year old kids to 90 year old men/women play the same exact same line, straight up the 2nd arrow, and they can manage a 200+ avg with little to no effort, some of the older folks have bowling balls older than me! to me a gifted bowler is someone who puts in the TIME to practice and become better, the very first season i bowled i set a 180 avg having never picked up a ball, some called me gifted, but all i cared about was the fact that i could get wasted drunk and still bowl a 600 series, now that things in my life have changed, sobering up for one , i have put in the time to practice and increased my avg to 231 on a THS. i probably bowl 40 practice games a week, thank god for $5 unlimited practice cards haha!
