Thread: new here from good old midwest!!!

  1. #1

    Default new here from good old midwest!!!

    whats up everyone.... new guy here from illinois.....been bowlin for a couple of years, but getting more serious now and steady on a league ....
    avg is 160ish (soon to go up thanks to actually getting a new ball drilled for me)

    my equip:

    brunswick nemesis 15lb 2oz (hand me down) has same drill pattern from my friend proper fingertips and thumb hole is big best game with this ball is a 209

    storm thunder struck 13lb (hand me down) had proper fingertips put in and thumb opened span is good ..fingertips reversed for lefty throw ...best game with this ball 187

    roto grip cell 16lb (used ball bought from pro shop) drilled for me but i think a bit much...its a great ball but the 16lbs is too much for me to get a comfortable release... only a week old practiced all week with it and best game was 189

    and on its way is a visionary immortal pearl 14lb (will use this weekend for my league)

    my style is tweener/cranker ...with med/low revs and med/high speed ..im mainly a right handed bowler, but am just as comfortable throwin lefty(thunder struck is the new lefty ball)....im hoping to get better with the new ball and bring my league avg up to 190ish with lots of practice and dedication to improving

    Hi and welcome to the site. You don't see too many ambidextrous bowlers.

    well i realized today that i was meant to bowl lefty.....i've had a hard time getting my form to be consistant righty...so after leagues two of my teammates are bowling out next week so they had to bowl there 3 games...i decided to bowl 3 "fun" games lefty and bowled better lefty!!!! ....one of the guys on the team we bowled shot a 700 series and was critiquing my righty bowling.... he watched me bowl lefty and after my 3rd game he said looks like you gotta get all your balls redrilled ,lol...... he said my form/release/control looked so so much better lefty......
    mind you i write left handed, but kick and throw with my right.... so maybe my baseball hand may of ben my right but i gues my bowling hand is my left!!!
