    Still bowling with a tucked pinky, I like it, But I'm continuing to hang around a 160 average. I will be trying to get a video up within the next couple weeks so everyone can critique me.

    my bowling for the past couple weeks has been really bad, majorly mad breaks i have hit the pocket hard and ncie evry time but never get the corecct carry on the ball,

    know going to change alittle more of my style to find the best way to get that dame 10 and 6 pin to fall i might go from the 5 step aproach to a 4 step and if that dose not work i will go to a 6 give me a extra step and see if that works or if not i will just move left abit and play more of the middle of the lane

    Got a coach for a little bit to help me with my game. His name is Matt McNiel.

    The most important thing he helped me with was my release, and making sure I'm dropping the ball down and throwing with the correct timing. It seemed like it really helped. I'll post my progress eventually.

    Way to go getting Matt for some coaching, I'm sure it will help your game a lot.

    Don't get frustruated man. Im a 225 average and I didn't bowl a game above 140 in league tonight, due to tendonitis. I couldn't get around the ball like normal, so I would go high at normal speed, or through the nose if I slowed it down. It happens. Keep getting coaching and keep practicing and you will get there.

    I had a really rough day today. Couldn't really find a line, and everything was just a mess. My ball was just not doing what it did last time I played in that house, it seemed like I got nothing on the backend. Normally thats okay because since I average around 155 I can usually make the spares, but that was not the case today. I was absolutely terrible.

    I believe what he's trying say is: He "purposely" screwed up, so he wouldn't throw a 300 in practice.

    I know a lot of guy's that do that. It's a supersistition like not getting up to throw your strike shot when a split is on the other lane.


    I'll try a translation.

    Dam I wish I had the Hellraiser Revenge at the start of the year, I was bowling pretty bad before I got it. Now every time I go bowling and use it, I'm averaging 200+. Just tonight I avg. 243 shot a 200-231-298 for a 729 series! First 700 series of the year and almost another 300!

    I purposely screwed up the last shot, because I didn't want to waste another 300 game in practice. So I whiffed the shot and left 2 pins for a 298 game.


    At least that's what I think it say's.
