Well, a crappy day for me is not chaining my strikes. If I get a good solid hit in the pocket and still hang a 10 pin, then I know that my timing is off. I move my starting point on the approach forward half an inch and focus on my right arm and right leg moving forward together. If I'm throwing outside my mark....I'll stand up and just swing my right arm like a pendulum....for as long as I can (trick I got from the high school coaches) helps me get the feel of a good natural swing...and I usually correct myself without thinking, because my arm is used to the movement after that. Other than that, I pray to God I don't get splits, do my best to pick up my spares...and I make sure I don't get frustrated, otherwise I'm done for.
and If I can't correct it in time....a cigarette and some cursing are in order once I get outside the bowling alley!
