Finally got a video!
« on: April 08, 2007, 08:47:06 PM »
When I shot my current high game (225) some friends took a video of one of my shots (strike). It doesn't look like very clean (release, approach, anything!) But with my new drilling and I guess the right lane, it done good.
Notice the ball really rev up when it hits the backend...

keep working on the approach

one thing, in the push away, dont let the ball stay between ur eyes and ur target (arrow, board, dot)
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Yeah, critique it.
Yes, this isn't like my normal approach. Usually I bend more and don't twist my body so much...so they got the video of me, so...yeah.

I used to take only three steps, but I felt I was rushing, so I moved back and now take 5 steps.
Like I said before, usually my form is better, but in that game (225) I put the strike shot into memory and kept repeating the shot...it was working, even though I know it was bad.
Usually, my backswing ISN'T that high, but with this more agressive drilling, I can actually put speed into it and it still hooks at the breakpoint.
I'm going to try to get a better video tonight in league, to show my usual style at my usual house (this video was at a different house than my league house)

congrats on the high game. I'm sure a higher one is just around the corner.

Yeah, previously my goal was a 200 game, but since then I've shot more than a few of them. So now my goal is a 600+ series. My closest one is a 588. (223, 197, 168)
