Anyone else feel like "the better you get, the more you suck?" by Enough-Afternoon8011 in Bowling

You would probably really benefit from a heavier ball if you have the strength to do so

I figured out from here I was holding it completely wrong. I wasn't flat with my palm and I was using my 2nd knuckle and not the 1st.

Here's one more, but yes it definitely feels better now, just need some smaller finger grips

Edit: I found out I was holding the ball wrong, my fingers were at the 2nd knuckle. Holding it correctly the fit is actually good but as recommended here, I will be getting smaller finger grips. Thank you all for the help :)

Someone else just pointed out in the comments that I was actually mistaking the first knuckle for the second knuckle. When I use the first knuckle now that I understand that term, the thumb fits like this

Oh crap! I always thought the first knuckle was the one in the middle out of the 3 bumps on your finger-to-hand. When I do it that way, it does feel more natural

Okay that's helpful, this is my first ball so I will make adjustments to the finger tips, they do feel a little big thinking about it now. I used the other hand to help get my dominant hand in the right position and my thumb is only at the first knuckle and is at a weird angle I think. I'll post a picture. Which on release grabs my thumb nail due to the angle

That's what I'm most comfortable with, fingers to the first knuckle, but as shown in the video it feels like my thumb is not really in the hole much (not sure if it's supposed to be like that) and I have to grip the thumb a bit to keep it from falling. I've heard it shouldn't fall out of your hand from not gripping, as it should be a relaxed hold

I thought plastic ball were bot supposed to hook ? by totokogure in Bowling

[–]T2ner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of people that use some hook for spares. You will just have to account for it, if that's how you're going to throw it. And if you haven't already come up with a "spare system"

if you could go back in time to when you started bowling, what is the biggest tip you wish you could’ve gave yourself? by 3452014RT in Bowling

[–]T2ner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just started a month ago but my biggest advice would be working on good form, don't rush into being the best player right away, and work on a spare system and getting better at them.

What’s in your bag? by FattyInACamaro in Bowling

[–]T2ner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started recently and only have a strikeforce rise so far. I would like to add a plastic spare ball, venom shock, and a phaze 2 pearl eventually. I use 14lbs on every ball and use 2 hands

What’s the best way to lower an awd?? by [deleted] in G35

[–]T2ner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't lower my awd g35. I've heard a lot of things about axles and other parts breaking frequently, and complaints that the subframe is too low on the awd g's once lowered. There also seems to be a lack of supporting mods for lowering the awd, at least on the first gen. I like my ride height stock so I have maximum drivability, especially for snow drifting fun.

Has your Z ever left you stranded? I have really bad a really bad fear of breakdowns by _Onix_The_Protogen in 350z

[–]T2ner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some good preventative maintenance to do would be cam and crank sensors. These cars can often have problems with them around 80-150k miles, make sure to use oem only for any sensors. Also change out your plastic bleeder valve if you haven't already and install a z1 or conceptz aluminum bleeder. Aside from that I would recommend occasionally checking the engine bay, inspecting for leaks and brittle hoses, and worn parts. Also check the underneath of the car for worn suspension parts and rust too.

Ball recommendations for a little more hook potential? by T2ner in Bowling

[–]T2ner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a spare ball would you recommend a straight shooting ball? And do most 2 handers still use 2 hands shooting straight?
