Those must have been some long shoes! The regional in Reno is that a Pro regional or just a bunch of regional bowlers? Good Luck to you.
I was struggling for a bit when I changed my shoes. I had to adjust myself by moving back on my approach about 18", and I am much more comfortable.
I went to my coach today and the only issue he had, was, I needed to get my elbow closer to me.
My ball speed has increased from 14mph to around 17.5, and my rev rate has gone from around 240 to around 310.
Other than that he was extremely pleased with my overall game. So much so he gave me his thoughts on my odds when I go to the Regional in Reno in March.
80% to cash, 60% to make the Stepladder Finals and 30% chance to win the event.
While I sure hope he's right, I know that I'm gonna have to bring my best games ever to cash. And you can bet that I'm going to give it my all.

I just came back to bowling in October after a year and a half layoff because of surgeries. So I have bowled three times. My average is 130. Now you have to remember that before my layoff my average was 180. Most of my series were at least 500 scratch. I had to change my approach because of a left hip replacement and knees that are not as good as they used to be. So I just try to do the best I can. I don't practice anymore so I can't expect much. When my average was 180 I didn't practice but I still would string strikes and have games over 200. The games I bowl now are more like a beginner. It is kind of hard to take but at least I am bowling finally. That is all that matters to me now.
Arsenal: Raw Hammer Orange/Black Hybrid 14lbs, Blue Hammer urethane 14lbs, Columbia 300 Lava Ball Plastic 14lbs, Highest scratch series 710 Bowling 38 years Never hit that 300 game. Highest game 276, had 11 strikes and one spare in the middle of that game.
Longer than my old ones! Went from an 11 to a 12 wide! lolOriginally Posted by fordman1

Have you ever been to the stadium before? Neat place but downtown Reno leaves a lot to be desired.
I've been doing horribly this season. Just not "in" to it at all this year and it shows.
Current Average: 190
My Arsenal:
Hammer Bad Intentions
Storm Rocket
Hammer Black Urethane
Columbia WD Spare Ball
Never been there, and the last time I was in Reno was back in the mid 80's.
