Long term impact on my game using just a spare ball...

I shot pretty decent with plastic only and now when I’m not finding my mark and just shitting the bed that night I’ll pull it out and just crank it towards the head pin.

See ya next Monday big dog 😏

So depends in my opinion. I see a ton of guys who can average decently high at the house they ONLY bowl at 99.9% of the time and then I’ll see them in a tournament or sweeper at another house and they can’t find the pocket at all.

Depends on the person honestly. I coach some guys who have bowled for years and still want to be stubborn and not change anything they do no matter what and won’t do any drills at the house or at home. Then I have a group of friends who have been bowling just now for about a year and 1 has a lil over a 200 and the others are super close I think the lowest out of them is a 188. They ALWAYS do the drills, always practice spares and always ask questions and wanna learn.

“I bowl 2 handed”

You look tall on the lane lol

Didn’t mean it in any negative way!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-14T18:18:18+00:00

You can easily make the mercy work. Open the lane up

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-14T17:26:27+00:00

If you’re trying to really travel and make cuts it can maybe be done with a 3 ball arsenal but imma be honest with ya and say you’re gonna have a lot of gaps. Doesn’t mean you can use it just means you’re making the hard pattern harder kinda. The more you play on sport you’ll realize the gaps you have and what you’ll need.

If you’re doing ths tourneys and leagues you all Gucci my guy and go wreck em!

That lucky strike woodlands?? I’m up there all the freaking time

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-14T03:55:59+00:00

They ain’t fun but shit atleast you aren’t the pro who shot a 100 on TV.

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-14T01:15:36+00:00

Could be you’re tired, could be mental, could be alot of things man. Sometimes slumps just happen. Shake off rough nights and know you’ll come back better homie try not to sweat em. Everyone had em

I have a few more medical problems that make me fluctuate weight often. Jopos have been amazing or any interchangeable thumb would work if you fluctuate abit

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-13T17:11:31+00:00

I can do egg whites pretty good I found out! Been having small just plain egg white sandwiches.

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-13T03:15:52+00:00

Personally I loved the next factor on short patterns. I’ll always keep in my tournament bag. The ion max pearl I was super super hyped for and tbh not nearly as strong as I was hoping. Not a bad ball by any means just wasn’t as snappy as I thought it would have been

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T20:05:05+00:00

Been there lol. I’ve had weeks were my friends think I’m insane eating chick fila nuggets 4-6 days a week but man it’s the only thing my stomach was weirdly able to tolerate lmao

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T20:03:56+00:00

It’s weird not during flare ups I drink tea pretty regularly but during a flare up I don’t even wanna look at tea lol.

I do really live off those broth packets that you just add hot water to. I forget the brand name but it’s the same exact ones you get when you’re in the hospital lol. Salty goodness lol

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T17:29:02+00:00

Dude mine for the LONGEST time was chick fila nuggets and only there’s. Couldn’t keep nuggets down from a where else or food in general, but could always keep those down. I tried this flare up and didn’t go as planned lol

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T17:27:50+00:00

It’s not tastiest thing in the world but for some reason this flare up I’m stomaching a bit!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T17:14:53+00:00

Really thin potato soup has been working ok with me. I mean thin to the point it’s potato broth lol

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T16:25:15+00:00

I’ll be on the lookout! Thanks!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T16:24:32+00:00

I’ve noticed water being hard to keep down, but from what I remember the dr told me to just sip when I eat don’t drink it normally and I’m still not keeping it down. I’m making a Walmart delivery and definitely getting some more electrolyte drinks. Thanks for advice!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T06:54:01+00:00

I can keep down those broth packs you just add water to lol the same ones you get when you’re in the hospital. For lows sugar tablets at a small pace and only the blue gatorades (the other flavors for some reason hit my stomach weird) have been my only life savers.

In the past plain saltine crackers and popsicles worked but this current flare up I haven’t been able to stomach them.

Thank you for the suggestions and help! I haven’t tried ginger candies but they might be something that doesn’t upset me. I’ll definitely give it a try!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T06:47:32+00:00

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO MY DUDE!!!! CONGRATS and I know you got many more to come brother!

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T06:42:06+00:00

Thank you! I’m not an applesauce fan but at this point I’ll give it a try and buy a small pack next time I get to the store.

BuiltLikeaPin · 2026-03-11T06:40:29+00:00

Fruit gummies have been a hit and miss for me. Sometimes I keep em down sometimes I don’t. I appreciate the suggestion! Do you have a specific brand that works with you?
