First 700

[drlawsoniii]

Very awesome! I still have yet to bowl a 700 series. I got close last week with a 684 series. I opened in the 10th frame and if I hadn't done that I would've had my 700. Did you do anything different? Why do you think you finally got your 700 series?

The biggest change has been over the last 4 weeks I've really been focusing keeping my hand behind the ball. I had always had my hand on the right side of the ball at release. I have gone from a 182 average to a 190 in those four weeks (12-16). With that one little adjustment i've been way more consistent in ball placement.

That just makes me think of this quote:

That makes a lot of sense. I just got my league average up to 199 (I was 176 last year) and I feel like a big part of that has been staying behind the ball. I kept coming up over or to the right of the ball causing more spinning than rolling. But I'm getting the hang of it. I'll have that 700 in no time!

I just got my first one a month ago with a 728. My biggest thing was rolling the ball on to my (left) hand when I am set on the approach. It helped loosen up my arm swing and maintain good wrist position.
You will get yours eventually just stay with it!
