That's great! You'll get that 200 in no time!
Day 1 of Training, :(2 finger bowling)
I switched from using my index finger and middle finger, to my ring finger and middle finger, and my shots have become more consistent. I hit a personal record today of an all high 195, not too shabby, Thanks to my coach my uncle Juan. He showed me my strike zone, between the 2nd arrow, or a little more than the first arrow, if it's anywhere else, most likely it'll break a 9 or give me a lucky strike. Now I know I can essentially hit 200, and get my own bowling ball and shoes, my dad is going to be surprised how much I improved! Before that I hit a 189. Thanks for reading.
Cheers Sam

Are you going to have a thumb hole drilled in your new ball Sam?You could always just not use it if you don't like it. Or have it plugged. I'm not trying to talk you out of something that is comfortable and working, but as you are young it would be easier to change now than when you are older. Most of us old guys would be on a stretcher if we tried to throw a ball like that for any length of time. LOL

I know bowlers who only use the thumb for certain spares to get the extra control. One bowls on my men's league team. Oksu Palermo is another I've seen do it.
Better to have a hole you don't need rather than need a hole you don't have

good point... and once u get your new ball expect your shot to change dramatically especially if your going with fingertips (recomended). Also dont go all out and get a hi performance as your first ball.. start with a low end ball like a slingshot> Assuming u have a hi rev rate (2 fingers usually do) and shooting on house shots itll probably be perfect for your situtationOriginally Posted by billf

thanks! I hope so,
yeah I am going to get a hole drilled for my thumb, I don't see a negative point if I don't, yeah it's better to have the option. I might change my style, once I get my new ball, or have a combination, since my uncle wants me to learn the thumb hook after I get my new ball. haha I don't think it's that difficult, I'm sure you could have some fun trying it out, hahahaAre you going to have a thumb hole drilled in your new ball Sam?
Yeah, it can be used as an advantage, since I can not throw a straight ball with the ball I'm using at the moment, I'm planning on getting a critical theory ball, but I heard that if you use 2 fingers and you swtich to 3 you have to start your average all over again?I know bowlers who only use the thumb for certain spares to get the extra control.

I'm planning on getting a crtical theory,
how do I calculate my rev rate? I can sometimes throw it with a lot of curve, but it's not usually needed,
haha
Well if u can curve a houseball good then I would assume you will have a hi rev rate when u get a finger tip ball. Bowlingball.com has ratings and is a perfect site to do research they also have a scale rating based on hook potential
