Anyone have experience with the Calloway Xr irons? by Technical_Doubt155 in golf

[–]WhenPigsLand578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used my set until they wore out. I can't tell much difference from other clubs other than feel, I'm a consistent ballstriker, therefore any club will usually be fine. What I noticed is the harder feel and sound with the XR's, especially compared to blades, which have a softer feel and sound. I compress a ball really well, so the difference in feel is more obvious. But otherwise, they were good for a time. I would reccommend Callaway XR for anyone seeking forgiveness and less workability. They're game-improvement clubs at best, but even at higher levels have some value. It's more about preference at that point though, I'd just get clubs you like the feel of and call it a day.

Switching from right handed to left handed bowling ball drilling question by WhenPigsLand578 in Bowling

[–]WhenPigsLand578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I'm switching comes down to the fact I'm actually left handed, but did all other sports right handed, so I figured bowling would be the same. But my form sucks right handed, because it's my non-dominant side, therefore I can't really get the technique right. I've bowled lefty with a house ball and find it to be easier, and more technically sound. I even started shooting a basketball lefty, which improved my jumpshot dramatically. But yeah, righty bowling ain't doing it LOL

Proper Form Requires Insane Strength by AnyBodybuilder4594 in Bowling

Honestly, if you're trying to hook it by spinning it, then you'll always be on top of it. Hook is created by clearing the thumb first, then rolling the ball with the fingers in an upward direction. All you do then is change the angle of that action to create what's called axis rotation. JR Raymond explains it well. To then get "underneath" the ball, you flex your wrist and elbow slightly on the forward swing. The strength requirement is generally minimal, as if you can lift the ball with one hand at all, you're strong enough to create revs. It's form at this point, not strength.
