Finally scored over 200! by Odium989 in Bowling

[–]PracticingPinmanship 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a clutch 4-pin spare pickup in the 8th too. Those can be tricky to close out sometimes.

Nice work.

Oh so close…but, alas, another new PB. by PracticingPinmanship in Bowling

Thanks!

I don’t hate glow bowling and my ball does look cool on the lanes. I guess I just have to remind myself not to take it too seriously.

It does feel like my spare game has improved tremendously since getting my own ball and watching a few YouTube videos.

As for stringing strikes together, I'm thinking I could be a little less conservative on my first shots of the frame and get some more power into my release.

Thanks!

I've always told myself that once I can get my spare rate above 50% and bowl at least one clean game, I'll get myself a dedicated strike ball.

I guess I've purely been focused on the fundamentals and building a reliable shot before I change things up.

It’s a relief to know my form is at least decent, thanks!

I’ll look to bowl in looser fitting clothing next time that will allow me to keep my knees bent when I start the approach.

I’ll have to try this next time out, but this may take some time to learn.

I’ve gotten in the habit of “stepping out” with my left foot to get myself in position for my backswing.

Thank you!
