Practice away from the alley?
« on: May 13, 2007, 05:00:39 PM »
Bowling isn't the cheapest sport. I can only get in 6-7 games a week. Is there anything I can do at home to improve my game/technique? Don't have that 24k to drop down on duel home lanes just yet

What I like doing to practice my release when it's going bad is set up a few pillows on the couch and do a modified 1 step approach and throw the ball onto the couch. It works, because, mainly you won't break anything and second your actually throwing the ball. If you wanna know anything else you could PM me

John Beckwith: The whole 17 years we've known each other I've been sneaking off to go on little hunting trips around the world. No, I don't even know what the f**k a quail is!
Jeremy Grey: I look totally ridiculous. Like why do I have to be in camouflage? So the big bad quail doesn't see me?
John Beckwith: I know. Why can't we hunt something cool like a hawk or an eagle, something with some talons?
Jeremy Grey: That'd be awesome. We could get something like big game. Even like a gorilla or a rhinoceros or a f**king human being! That'll get you jacked up.

John Beckwith: We lost a lot of good men out there.
Bridesmaid: Playing with the Yankees?
John Beckwith: Yes, we lost a lot of good men to trades and unruly fans. Look I don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry.

I personally have a ball thats a couple years old and worth dirt that I take into the back yard and do some lawn bowling with. Ya the slide doesnt work out too good but its still fun and good release practice.
