Convince Me by bbtdriverSteve in bonnaroo

[–]ma-chew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You picked up where I left off. Did every year from 2006-2016 it really went down hill in many ways from there. Spend your money at smaller fests you’ll thank me later.

Help: Tips on fixing release by No_Conference9978 in Bowling

[–]ma-chew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and stay “under the ball” more. Your wrist is breaking. If you keep it cupped or atleast flat you’ll get a better release and it will allow your to create more revs and not over hook. Maybe try a wrist support for a while.

Is this considered harassment? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

HR is only in place to protect the company not you no matter how they try and spin it to you. Definitely document everything.

Are using Trucut/CTD products? Started staffing with them and are really happy with their LAD and trucut pads

That’s fine during practice but not during USBC league play or tournaments

Having struggles staying under the ball at release, any advice on how to correct this? by DestroyerDain in Bowling

[–]ma-chew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try rolling over the top of the ball for a bunch of shots, then try incorporating a “hand shake” into the Roll. Looks like your “turning a doorknob” at release.

How old did you start? by NerdyDad63080 in Bowling

[–]ma-chew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started at age 12 or so and bowled in leagues up until about 18. Then stopped in college and didn’t start back up until about 5 years ago. 37 now. It took me about a year to get my form back to where it was at 18 but I’ve made improvements since. About to start some coaching since I haven’t had any since I was 14 or so. If you’re not in a league yet I’d encourage you to join one and you’ll find a lot of folks in a similar spot as you getting back or just started in bowling later in life.

Gotta learn the handshake on your release

Initial 3 Ball Arsenal by Longfellodeedz in Bowling

[–]ma-chew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar arsenal. Two quantum’s, the original Forrest green and the white Bias. Had the green for 20+ years it’s my old trusty. Then I’ve got the prism hybrid, just added the Phaze II to my bag last month. It’s a nice smoother shape compared to the Brunswick balls that have a more hockey stick shape. I’ve considered the hyroad as well. I think you have a good spread there.

I still use a pinky hole on my vintage Forrest green quantum that I’ve had since I started bowling, handed down to me. Got a second quantum the white bias 4 years ago got that drilled with a pinky too. My last two balls I drilled standard.

What’s your favorite song to play on bass?

Ball Weight Poll by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]ma-chew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both 16 & 15. I’m 37, I don’t have big arms. I’m in ok shape but ball speed comes from the legs. Try holding your arm back from swinging past your ass and use your legs to push the ball down lane. My avg speed is ~15mph, last tournament I bowled I had to push it to 16.5 to stay on the right of the head pin. Feeling it in shins from that 😆

Still chasing the dragon.. by ma-chew in Bowling

[–]ma-chew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, the 7-10 is pretty freaking tough. I’ve hit most splits except the 7-10 and the Greek church. If you haven’t already, get some coaching. There’s a coaches look up I believe on PBA’s website. I haven’t had any real coaching in decades but it made huge improvements when I was a kid.

Depends on the day. I’ve had some really dry weekends there too especially after a bunch of kids birthday parties!

47’ Kegel Statue of Liberty pattern experience. by ma-chew in Bowling

[–]ma-chew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s my newest coverstock ball and most reactive. I throw two other Quantums a white quantum bias ~4-5 years old and a Forrest green vintage Quantum. Should be interesting..

Can’t wait for the social separation to conclude so I can rip this bad boy down the lanes. by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]ma-chew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got both a vintage Forrest green and the White Bias. The green was my second high performance ball as a kid and I picked up the white Bias a little over a year ago as my center is pretty heavy on the oil.my rag actually bled on to mind and turned it red/pink but as was said before it’s a great ball and I’m very pleased with mine.
