Thread: Breaking "The Funk"

    Default Breaking "The Funk"

    Lately, I have been posting some pretty low scores, I haven't changed much in anything as far as my release, speed, approach, revs or anything, I just cannot seem to consistently have good games.

    The pro shop guy at my lanes noticed that the span on my grip looked a little short and turns out it was a 1/4" too short. I'm getting the ball plugged and redrilled and hopefully that will break MY funk.

    What do you guys normally do when (as I saw earlier) "the wheels fall off"?

    99% of the time I'm bowling badly it's because of bad tempo. I have to remind myself to slow down.

    Now, I record a few games and compare to good games. Use to go nuts trying all sorts of things I thought maybe I was doing wrong, listened to every armchair bowler in the league (they were clueless) and if I could get her to come by, have my daughter see me throw. I spent four months trying to figure out what I was doing wrong once. She watched one roll and said I was leaning too far forward. Boom, slump was gone. She knows my style better than the guys I have bowled with since the beginning.

    Most of the time I don't really think about what I'm doing and that's usually when I'm doing my best. I can throw a good first game and then take a smoke break and get ready for the second, but then I'm trying to think about what I can do to better my score from the first game and then that's usually when I have a lower score.

    It'll be anything from the velocity on the ball to my release and then that'll carry over a few weeks.

    As billf said if you can have someone video you while bowling
    then you can see what you are doing differently each game as
    it only takes something very small to make a BIG difference
    in your game.
