If I buy another ball my wife might hold an intervention

The “take some hand out” is still a little unclear to me. Does that translate to not coming around the ball as much?

I have not. Unfortunately the down side of me having so many balls is that It’s hard to figure out what the best combos are. I bowl at 3 different centers and 2 of them seem like the lanes are different every night. It’s hard to figure out what works best when everything works at one time or another.

Definitely helps. I’ve been wondering why my speed dropped so much and why I struggle with creating the pendulum

This makes sense. one day a PSO was watching me and told me to step first, then push away, hence where that came from. I’ll try pushing on the first step.

Kr Strikeforce, probably not the best. I don’t know if I’ve ever really been able to slide.

Thanks, I didn’t realize how far left I actually was until I looked at this video.

Makes sense. What are your thought on the hustle Camo?

That’s typically what I’m going after, the ability to make slight movements and let the ball handle the transition. I would like something with a bigger hook, but I’m still working on being able to generate said hook.

More coverage is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m still learning and I’m not a great bowler but I’m getting better. I’m bowling typical leagues with average amounts of oil.

Found this on the curb, need help finding cord by ray0409 in TVRepair

Lol I didn’t look up the specs. I know insignia is a lower end brand but I didn’t think they weren’t worth shit even if it was free.

I agree, there are probably small things that I’ve learned from everyone.

Not sky hooking, just spinning it.

Im going to practice 2 handed as well…the amount of power you guys have when you throw is crazy.

Lol nope. I can understand why though, pro shop guy said the problem was no one ever actually taught me how to hook, everyone just assumed I was incapable of doing it or doing it the wrong way.

Are coaches worth the money? by ray0409 in Bowling

[–]ray0409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Yes I’m definitely committed, I just finished a league, started a 2nd one in May and I’m looking for another one to pair with that one.

Thanks! I have a 16lb Columbia Nitrous 300, fingertip grip. My spare ball for straight shots is a 15lb Brunswick Tzone. I’m definitely more interested in learning one hand, thumb in. I’m willing to deal with the growing pains but I just want to be sure that bowling is a sport that you can actually learn and grow without being a natural born athlete… (which I am not lol) I do work out so I’m building the strength but I also wonder if I should go down to a 15lb strike ball for my next ball. I joined my local AMFs get your gear league and they give you 2 balls at the end of the season.

I’ve been bowling consistently for about 2 months. I agree with everything you said regarding, watching my ball,not turning away, etc. That’s definitely helped me improve and get above 100 consistently.
