A Mans worth just might be measured with the leangth of his HAIR!
not only did I bowl better with the longer hair, I had 20/20 vision.... now look at me!!!! Wearing black glasses, and half blind! If I would have cut it any shorter, I fear I might be totally blind, not just seeing impaired!! As it is, I see two of everything,,,, twenty FRICKEN pins facing me, Not just 10 like most normal people!
LOL!!!! MICHAEL now that you see twenty pins down there allOriginally Posted by MICHAEL
you have to do is just knock down half of them every time on
the first ball to get yourself another 300 game.
If I look at the pins just using my right eye then I see somewhere
around 30 or more pins down there so I guess it is a good thing
that I'm left eye dominant so I can see and hit my mark......... well
hit it sometimes that is. LOL!!!!

What the hell are you even looking at the pins for? Look at your mark. Geesg, senile old iron workers, what are we to do with them?

Bill,,,, bill,,, bill!!
I do fine bowling William, and I do have a SANCTIONED 300 game , do you? senile,,, I think not.. old,,, but still tough as nail, and in shape mentally, and physically. Maybe what you do with iron workers like myself is treat them with respect.. lol (If you expect to get it in return. I bowled that 300 game with my eyes closed, ninja style! Why would I need to look at the marks? Its all about the senses, I can smell the area where I need to place the ball even blindfolded .... bill

I don't mean to break the jovial tone of this thread but there are valid reasons to at least glance at the pins before sighting your target:
1. to make sure you have a full set of pins.
2. to make sure the sweep is up. I've seen serious adult bowlers hit the sweep because they didn't check before throwing, of course there were seven other bowlers not paying attention until it was too late when it happened to my former teammate Don.
3.To make sure all the pins are on spot, for the very serious bowlers with excellent eyesight or over-active imaginations.

Very good point Mr Anderson,,( love that movie, the matrix), I not only look at the pins, with my laser like Iron Worker eyes,,, (see my special galsses above), I can smell them when they are not on spot!!
What I do before unleashing hell on the pins!
1. I do a quick visualization of a strike in my minds eye, with my eyes closed, and repeat 6 times,, "Yes I Can"! Breath in through your right nostril for 3 seconds, hold that breath for 7 seconds, the slowly release the carbon dioxide through the right side of your lips, (if your right handed), do the same if your left handed, because you should be bowling right anyway!!!
2. I look down the lane at the pins, (as you mentioned Mr. Anderson, and look for even slight imperfections in alignment) sometimes I can detect, with my black horn rimed glasses a pin being off by as much as 1/1000 of an inch! And yes the glasses are legal, and I do sell them for a small fee of only $217.31. (it covers my operating expense)
3 Then I pick an arrow, any arrow! Not that important, what is important is to hit your mark! How many times have you heard HIT YOUR MARK!
then you get what you see below,, not bad for a senile old Iron Worker....

Michael, will those glasses allow this sight challenged bowler to see if the pins are on spot or even if there is a sleeper?
