    Default people talking to mess you up

    I've been getting turkeys lately so people now talk or do the arm lift during my shot.
    How to not let it bother me

    I'm guessing arm lift as in throwing your arms up in a wtf or disgust type of motion like when someone throws a Brooklyn or hits at the 2/4 and somehow topples over everything for a strike, because you would probably have the same reaction of not expecting a strike from a throw like that

    Like most bowlers, you know when your ball is going to Brooklyn. As soon as I release the ball and know it's heading there, I point that way. Some times I have to pray for a little help and love. lol

    When they are not looking spit in their thumb hole. Then laugh real loud when they stick their thumb in.

    How would you explain this momentary ability to see into the future?

    If you don't have a really good idea when you release the ball where it is going you are in trouble.
