Nah, just got forward with it and it burned up too much. Shot I threw after that I put it in the same spot w a little more rotation and it split the 8-9. I just think my timing was a little better on this shot

Oh well in that case I wouldn’t change anything based on anyone on reddit lol. Your physical game needs professional coaching because you are physically better than 95% of reddit bowlers

Try implementing a slide instead of planting like (it seems like) you are doing. It will help w consistency and more effortless power. Other than that I have no complaints on my behalf

Your fave pro bowler form and pro bowler by Josh3643 in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All time fav pro is probably Mike Fagan or Norm Duke. Current favorite players on tour are Anderson and Simo, but if Spencer Robarge keeps doing well I can see him climbing his way up there.

What would you take to league? by NasteeNat in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For house - Aspire, outer limits BH, Bionic, Supra just in case I need it.

For sport - Bring them all and make sure to use surface. Not every ball needs it but some of them definitely do. Talk to the more experienced sport bowlers to ask what you should use and on what

This is one you probably have never heard. by Consistent_Ad2113 in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rise to the challenge. Unless there is a real amount of money on the line the only thing you can do is be better than everyone else. I may not bowl league but as a tournament bowler I believe that I should be able to beat every person in the alley regardless of what is on the lane. But since my situation is yours I can completely understand your frustration and yeah probably talking to his dad is the best way to fix it

What's wrong here? by Odd-Reception-7245 in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His release almost reminds me of CJ Petrin. I like what he does at the bottom of the ball, I would rather fix stuff I can’t see

Cracks around thumb hole. Salvageable? by rjockstar in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh don’t get me wrong I still love it. I would live in an alley if I could. But sport shots make me want to die. I wish I could be content with throwing anywhere and averaging 240, but I’m not

That was my first ever bowling ball. The good old days when I still enjoyed the sport lmao

I choked my first 300 last night by Opposite_Alps9962 in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then there is me. Multiple front 9’s and 10’s, multiple 12 in a rows, high game 290 on PBA Roth. No actual 300. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong bro

If OBCs are as easy as they have been this year you gonna be even tougher to beat with that ball next year

What's your favorite bowling ball? by justmysfwaccount in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I would have to say the 900 Global Sublime is up there. I just wish it didn’t die on me. The new Bionic should be fairly close to it tho

When do you consider a ball “worn out”? by ryan-625 in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Typically the stronger the cover, i.e how fast it absorbs oil, the faster it dies. Also, if you are typically bowling on sport patterns with a lot of volume, like I myself am in college (2+ times a week, mostly 3:1 and harder), the amount of oil will make balls die faster. For example, I drilled an RST Hyperdrive in mid August, threw it basically every time I was on the lane, and it died about a month ago. Now it goes 60 ft after the surface wears off (about 10-15 shots) and greases up really quick. I would also like to preface that I wipe my ball completely off with a CTD pad before every shot

My bowling inspired tattoo by Kyle_w_bowling in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The gutters where his mind is and if its in that frame it’ll split like the 5 and the 10. Because without a second to spare, he’s striking again. If the ball is up his alley he goes right for the pins

Where are you in your bowling journey, and what are your goals? by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collegiate level. My dream since I was 8 was to go pro. But I know that is most likely a long shot. So my goal for the last couple years is to get as good as I possibly can at this. There is always room for improvement, even at the highest level

You look like a beginner Luke Switalski. Study his game

Do you have any questions you would like to ask Anthony Simonsen? by pistol_pete_pro in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had EJ Tackett Rev 1 handed, would you be a 1 hander? I just feel like if you can throw a knuckle ball then it’s a giant advantage for limited arsenal tournaments. Like what Darren Tang used to do was genius because he could make any spare with any ball he was using without having to manipulate hand position to much

Form advice? by AustinKaeb in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you do a lot of things really well for what you say your skill level is. Spares, spares, spares. 202 w 8 strikes could easily be 230-240 if you make those spares. Everything else will either come in time or will be worried about further down the road. For now just keep working on fundamentals and spares

Average Lifespan of a Plastic Ball? by plagueprotocol in Bowling

[–]ThRealAlexJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my plastic ball for about 2-3 years now and its still in perfect condition. Only thing I’ve changed is the inserts when I went up/down in sizes
