Put a PARACHUTE ON THAT BALL!!!

[got_a_300]

We have a lady bowling here that does the same exact thing she just throws the
ball straight up into the air and then it finally returns from outer space and then
with a big sonic ka-boom it just hits anywhere out there on the lane.

your feet determine ball speed. If you can slow feet down you will throw slower naturally... fluid free armswing.

If I moved any slower, my ball would go backward!!! LoL (

Walk your approach like your mad and then you will have more speed.

We bowled his team and beat them 4 zip... but I fear the damage to me experiencing this ball lofting that rivals a sonic boom, when it lands, and some how actually rolls down the lane! EVERY TIME he throws his ball, I picture a divot the size of Vermont!

I almost had to leave,,, But last Monday on the seniors league ICEMAN had a talk with. (lets call him Fred Flintstone)! It was just after his bi-monthly Strike occurrence! I walked up to him and said: ( "wow, that was a sweet strike Fred! Have you ever tried to bring you altitude down to where the oxygen is???" He said: "What"? As I thought clueless!

I then ask him if he ever tried laying the ball down rather then UP!! He said he forgets! I then ask him, if he liked fireworks,,, and things that make LOUD noises? He said,,, " NO not particularly". I have laid bowling balls down that way before, but each time when I go up to the foul line I forget"! He said: " I have a brain that forgets very quickly"!

I said If I remind you just before each shot would that help!!!! ( I know it would have helped all of us!) His reply was,
Sure... give it a try!

So next shot I reminded him to keep the ball below sea level,,,, he said ok ,,,, what happened ,,,BOOM,,,, up in the air again!!! I walked
up to HIM and said WHAT HAPPENED, he said: "what do you mean??", I said don't you see the divots in the ceiling where you ball just touches the ceiling tile ? His reply,, was,,, I FORGOT!!

Thank GOD This league will be over next week.... Ice will not return to this league this fall, or even next summer! I can ONLY imagine what
the lanes would look like if he was on Wood!

Fred is about, 55 years old, big guy with no health issues I can see, other then STMP,,,,, ( short term memory problem)!

I have a feeling he was humoring you Iceman, and didn't really intend to change up his style :P

PLEASE don't call it STYLE!!! LOL..... The sad part is that he thinks its GREAT! Delusional!!! GRRRRR,,,GRRRRR!!!!! To bad I don't own that AMF, I would ask him politely to learn how to bowl, ,,,,,, at least TRY to keep his balls below 4 ft!! ,,,, or leave the lanes! Loft is one thing, but this guy takes it to a whole new altitude!!

OK,,, I feel better,,, haven't seen this guy in a few years,,,, doesn't look like his form has improved any at all! In fact he might just have a little more altitude, then when I bowled against him a while back!! I bet he was proud of that!!!

He ask me if I was going to bowl on that league this winter,,,, my reply was,,,, WHAT?? I pulled out my ear plugs, and walked out!

I have to ask, what is Fred Flinstone's average?
