Wish I knew man. I struggled for the last 2 months and aint really broke out of it. I'm hoping lessons will help. But sometimes lessons are a few steps backwards before you start seeing progress.
Struggling
The last week and a half, I have been majorly struggling. My games have been low. I just don't know what I can do. Haven't had the time to get in and practice. Been getting splits like crazy. I need to brake out of this slump. Here's to this Wednesday for getting back in track.
What do you do when you struggle?

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
When I struggle I go and practice basics on up! I start with my footing and arm swing,then I practice hitting my mark and then picking up spares. During leagues if I struggle i'll ask my team mates to watch me and let me know what they see. Usually it's my feet moving to fast so I slow down and it usually helps! Then again it could be 1 of these nights.
Good luck & good scoring!

A great, great majority of "slumps" are caused by timing issues. When you find yourself struggling, concentrate on one thing: post every shot at the line and hold your position until the ball has gone through the pins. More times than not, when you do that, your problems will correct themselves. It is impossible to post your shot when your timing is off.
Slow.... down. I know when I'm struggling I wind up rushing my approach. Also remember to not grip the ball hard. Keep a nice smooth swing.
With me I can usually track my slumps down to one of two things. Starting the ball too late in my delivery or not getting out of the ball cleanly due to gripping it.

Seconding what Rob said - I was stuggling last year and listened to his advice on posting and it's really helped with timing and I think made my transition to a new shot a lot easier.
Third what Rob said. Timing is everything. Late ball to the line in relation to your feet your shot is off. Early ball to the line before your feet, shot is off.
All of my slumps can be attributed to something in the approach which is all about timing.
Power through it and get some practice. Slow your feet down and re-work your entire approach bit by bit.
It'll all come back to you.
