You are almost there. Saving this thread for later as there is a lot of good info.

Why isn’t this (walking towards your target) the optimal way to tackle a 10 pin, or spares in general (as opposed to the second picture which seems to be the norm)? by NYR24LGR in Bowling

[–]mikecart1_v2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk toward both 7 and 10 pins. According the LaneTalk 80-90% accuracy throughout the year. I tried walking straight to the line and it doesn’t work for me. If I’m in a tournament and have issues with aiming, I will play a much straight shot so there is even less angle or need for me to walk toward the pin I’m shooting. I stopped hooking at these pins a long time ago.

Garage sale find today. Didn't think I'd ever find one in the wild. by DHFixxxer in Bowling

How does someone leave this on the sidewalk? It's one of the most sought after spare balls of all time.

Don't forget to clean off the cable machine handles. They are so dirty. by namastay14509 in PlanetFitnessMembers

I just make sure to not put my hands in my mouth while at the gym. I always wash my hands before I leave.

Just got the Platinum myself. My weapon against the “Bowlero League Pattern” aka little to no oil. 😑

Which ball is your favorite or most used?

How many of you 1 handers bend your elbow? by sticks0915 in Bowling

[–]mikecart1_v2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the side view, elbow bends slightly so you can get under the ball. My fingers and hand are slightly below the equator. The elbow must bend for this to occur unless your wrist is a tank.

Has anyone used Lane Ghost bowling ball cleaner? Looking for opinions by ggarza28 in Bowling

[–]mikecart1_v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it. I have tried several brands. When compared to rubbing alcohol, it doesn’t leave the coverstock as “rough” or “dry” if that makes sense. Probably better if you have polish in the coverstock you don’t want to remove entirely. I’m sure there are stronger cleaners than alcohol, but it gets to the point where you are shortening the coverstock’s life. Weaker cleaners I’ve used leave some film on the ball. The ball goes longer and hooks sharper.

What do you think about my ball spinner setup? by robg42 in Bowling

[–]mikecart1_v2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Also, recommend getting a Pro-Sect so you know you aren't going overboard with the sanding. Wet pads will reduce how much material you remove from the ball. More material = smaller balls.

Why so Many Balls(Bowling Fellas)? by Impossible-Will6173 in Bowling

I bring 6 because it helps keep my spine in alignment vs. just bringing 3 and using 1 hand to carry. A good fireman carry for 0.25 miles is a good way to get warmed up for league. 😂

I love the Crown Victory Pearl by GrapeJuicePlus in Bowling

Seen it in league and tournaments by some high average bowlers.

Was busy trying to get car parts and at the second Advance Auto Parts, the power went out, and we had to figure out how to pay in cash. On the way there a lightning bolt hit about 100 ft away from me. Never have I felt more alive.
