Okay, lets re-phrase the request in a more 3rd grade reading level, gift-oriented way...
- When approaching the lanes...how does the Gift touch you? Does it give you like foresight into what is going to happen? Can you see the future?
- When in your stance, does the gift allow you to have the perfect stance? Or is the stance irrelevant due to the gift? What if you stood backwards or sideways? Would the gift ultimately allow the ball to hit the pins regardless?
- When on the approach, do you have to physically move your legs? Or does the gift move them for you? Does the ball get to a certain height in the backswing and then you take control? Or is the entire swing motion gift controlled?
- Is only your right hand gifted? Or have both your hands been gifted? If only one, would bowling 2-handed diminish the one hand's gift? Are the hands gifted with any other powers?
- What if you don't strike? Were you less gifted on that shot? Or did you mess up the gift? And if you messed it up, why would the Gift allow you to mess up? Why wouldn't it step in?
Thanks!

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
If I'm lined up with the right ball in my hands, the only gift I get is the side pot. Today, I got two of them for a 265, and a 254. We won't talk about the games where I didn't get the gift with scores of 158-156. The lanes changed so fast, it was like the Magical Mystery Tour. I'm sure Michael gets the reference. For you, Aslan, that's the name of an old Beatles song. Lol!
RED above Icemans answers to questions!!I figured the odds of getting full participation and following of directions at 1 in 2000. Sucks being right ALL the time. Every once in awhile it's nice to be surprised.
surprises are highly over rated. Your logic is sound! (not like your bowling skills)!

Sorry Kitty Cat,,, I don't believe their are any 3rd grade bowlers on this site, but there are a few that bowl on a 3rd grade level.....
- When approaching the lanes...how does the Gift touch you? Does it give you like foresight into what is going to happen? Can you see the future?
Can NOT be put into words,,,,,it,,,,,,IT JUST happens! Like when you give an artist a paint brush, it just HAPPENS!,,,,,, ( the gift that is)!
- When in your stance, does the gift allow you to have the perfect stance? Or is the stance irrelevant due to the gift? What if you stood backwards or sideways? Would the gift ultimately allow the ball to hit the pins regardless?
You think WAY TOO MUCH,,,, that's a big part of your problem!! Be a Ninja bowler, or like in my case be a ICEMAN Bowler,,,, COOL!!!!
- When on the approach, do you have to physically move your legs? Or does the gift move them for you? Does the ball get to a certain height in the backswing and then you take control? Or is the entire swing motion gift controlled?
Its pretty much gift controlled, your learning grasshopper!!
- Is only your right hand gifted? Or have both your hands been gifted? If only one, would bowling 2-handed diminish the one hand's gift? Are the hands gifted with any other powers?
One hand,,, two hands even 3 or 4 hands,,, the Gift transcends the number of hands
- What if you don't strike? Were you less gifted on that shot? Or did you mess up the gift? And if you messed it up, why would the Gift allow you to mess up? Why wouldn't it step in?
If you don't strike, then you lose the ability to make high score, grasshopper! The gift has a mind of its own, as Rob well knows, it can humble you when need be! Go with the flow,,, quit fighting it Aslan,,,, let your senses take control! Quit Thinking, (if possible), and let the mind relax!
PEACE,,, and may the Gift be with YOU!
Your Welcome, Iceman
Thanks!
Aslan
May the Gift be with YOU, Aslan! You need to find it on your own, it can't be given!
RELAX!!!!!! YOUR TRYING TO HARD!!!

I get the Magical Mystery Tour reference and really it's so much better reading your posts now that I have actually met you Rob. Much more meaningful and entertaining, where appropriate.
What sometimes unappropriate? Moi? LOL!
Being's, I am a Biker, I get it, Mud,,, Ha,,,, ha,,, LOL. Rob trade in the mustang, and get a bike, and trailer like ICE! The ultimate convertible!! Why go half way!!
Muddpuppy knows the feeling, the rush you get on a bike, each trip is like a Magical Mystery tour!
Rob what are YOU??
Are you a Biker or a Surfer??
You have to be one or the other for next years meeting!! Their is no Sports Car division!! You know this whole Biker, Surfer thing just might be
way to limiting!
Maybe next year with all the added challengers, we just might have to change the team names...
GIFTED and The Non-Gifted!! Anyone have other thoughts???
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
How about bowlers and people who bowl?
Ya,,,, GREAT IDEA!!! Original, and boring!! Rob,,,, get back to coaching and gambling!!! LOL
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
Whatever names you select, check to see if they really apply.
You've probably surfed as much or more than I ever have.
And while you're in the planning phase, select a modern bowling center, not some flea bag center like Sams Town.
If there is a step ladder final like this year, there needs to be a practice lane available for those waiting to bowl.
Sitting out for a couple of games, and no warmup, is hard on the body.
