I only play lowball...and it's usually if I had some spare shooting issues in league or in that practice.
There ARE a lot of fun, little games you can play in practice. The USBC came out with a coaching guide when they were trying to get people to sign up to be youth bowling coaches...and that book has a bunch of little "mini-games" in it to play with the kids.
I'd 'like' to create one of those PVC things with tape hanging down...where you can practice hitting a certain spot on the lane. Youth coaching uses that quite a bit. But, (and I'm not even going to go into my rants about bowling centers and how the sport of bowling is a joke...with the primary reason being practice related), for me to use something like that, I'd probably need 3 lanes to myself and permission from the center to go place that PVC frame out near the arrows (it sites in the gutters...no contact with the lane). Kinda like when I try to practice using the Mark Baker video. You really need to set up a camera/tripod on the lane next to you...well, how am I going to do that without renting another lane?
