Why would anyone be upset by another person admiring there bowling skills?

you get caught in the debate stage should i help them or no. also, not everybody knows 2 handed bowling is perfectly acceptable and may look because its weird to them because they do not watch the PBA

If you're doing a chest-pass style release, it's going to come with the territory of people watching you do it because it's so unorthodox. Also - best not to help anyone unless they ask. Even well intentioned can come off bad or can be unappreciated and most people are just there to have fun. And, giving advice any more complex other than "look at a spot on the lane and try to hit it" can lead to bad habits or make someone worse off, since everyone's different.

I think it's great when others watch and seem in awe when seeng me throw strikes. Specially with a lot of pin action. I also don't really see the handers in a special category as you imply in some of your posts. I travel around to a few centers and see them more often n open bowl. Sure those who bowl just for fun and not so often may be intrigued, but whether a person is using one hand or two and getting a ton of strikes is fun to watch no matter what.

Totally agree. Last week a guy who is a good bowler was trying to give me tips, same guy from a post long time ago, and it messed with my head. He over heard me talking bout my should issues and thought he would be able to help.

So your question was really meant just for you and your 1 in a million bowling style. If I saw you bowling in my house I would stop and take a look as well because chest passing a bowling ball down the lane is nothing I've ever seen before.

The most people I have ever seen watching a bowler in open bowling was last year when a 16 year kid was practicing trick shots, it even surpassed the people watching the guy who bowls backwards.

There were probably at least 50 people sitting within the area where this kid was bowling.

Of course it probably didn't hurt that he holds the all time National High school record for high average. So he's pretty good ....

He seemed pretty much unaffected by the onlookers.

I will say in the time I was there I never once saw him do a rugby throw.

What hints would people give if they want help or my business card?
