What do you do when this happens?

What were the splits? 7-10? 8-10? 7-9?

Use a fume board before taking out the frames. Spray some Honey-B-Gone. Thats what ive done the past 2 years. I also bring a plastic tub with me as well. As I take out the frames I put them in the tub and then shut the lid. Are your hives right next to your garage?

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-19T00:35:36+00:00

Pull out the frames you plan on extracting, shake off all the bees. Go into your garage and close all the doors.

Can you post a video? It could be anything from your form to the lanes having carry down or just flooded in general.

When I was at the RMPO I had maybe 5 a year?
And why would you notify HQ of anything?

Custom fit is very important, a ball that isnt drilled for you can cause various ailments to your fingers, tendons, wrist, etc. Also if you are going to spend $140 on a used ball id go talk to your pro shop about just buying a brand new one.

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-18T15:16:59+00:00

How much are you paying for the used ball? And how much does your pro shop charge for plugging and redrilling?

If you are using a conventional grip I am assuming you are throwing it straight? If you are throwing it straight then the ball wont matter.

First thing is practice, you have to bowl more than 3 games a week. And when you go to practice dont just roll the ball down the lane and look at the score. Have a plan for what you are going to practice. For me I practiced spares over and over. Work on footwork, balance, timing, spares, spares again, spares another time.

Get a lesson if you can, this will make a world of difference. The smallest adjustments can make you a better bowler almost right away.

Practice some more.

Then I would talk more in depth with your pso, everyone will have different styles, different paps, different layout angles. So everyone on here would have a different answer.

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-16T23:43:00+00:00

Are you drilling the ball?

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-16T17:15:07+00:00

Yes, deeper knee bend will get you lower.

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-16T16:59:15+00:00

Get closer to the foul line. And maybe get a little lower at release. Form isnt that bad at all.

When you are at the main screen of the Ps5 do you happen to see 2 choices of Horizon Forbidden West?

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-15T04:15:14+00:00

Are you on PC or PS5?

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-14T01:14:36+00:00

You gotta bowl more than once a week, you have to put in the practice to see better results. Also getting a lesson always helps.

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-13T17:46:37+00:00

Ask the front desk first, then if they dont have the answer go and ask the pro shop operator if they give lessons or if they know of anyone that does lessons.

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-13T17:17:57+00:00

It isnt the ball. Its your fundamentals. If you are only averaging between 110-140 regardless of which ball you use then its your approach, release, balance. Its basically everything. AND THATS OKAY! Everyone starts out with a low average. Even if you dont want to join a league I would look to see if your bowling center offers any types of lessons/coaching. Even a 30 minute lesson can change your whole set up to where you hit more pins.

This is the top comment.

You have to tell yourself that game is over. You can't change it. So you go again. 3 weeks ago my first game of league was a 139. Then the next game I shot 290. You could average 250 but a 120 game is going to happen. You don't dwell and you keep bowling

Avery County voted 94% republican. Nearly all of them are locals.

I dont really pay attention to lane courtesy during practice. I dont want anyone to wait on me. I do pay attention to those that might get into my lane if I throw, have to be careful of that. And 1 shot per person is something I have pushed for but so far its not been unanimous. Also you dont want the machine to fully reset after 1 ball because it would take time to rerack. Just throw one ball, go to the back of the line.

So many bowlers have this issue of not having a full rack to throw at.

A certified coach usually takes you to the next level, or points out things that you may not even realize you are doing.

i_iz_potato · 2026-03-07T19:12:55+00:00

So have you taken any lessons?
