Help! I'm a mess...
« on: April 06, 2017, 02:12:07 AM »
Alright I may be beyond help but I'm trying here. I was extremely frustrated practicing tonight. I threw across my body. I laid completely flat with no motion. When I tried my normal spot (24 board cross at 10) I had zero ball movement. No matter what I did I couldn't get my sure lock to corner. Weird I know. The best ball I threw I moved left and opened it up (35 board crossing around 17ish) and it gave me an amazing look. I have been told I throw way too hard but I'm struggling to slow down any more. I don't know what else I'm doing besides throwing too hard to make this look any better. I've attached three of my normal spot and the quality one that I opened the lane up. My wife took my tripod out of the bag so I apologize but I'm sure things will be glaringly obvious.

Yes this was after a league but I'm still throwing a Storm Sure Lock. That thing should be ripping across the lane. Also i apologize for the white under shirt I'm a big boy that can't find clothes that fit correctly but I'm working on it.

The first two videos you threw the ball too far out. When you opened up you threw it right on the mark. Bowling is about adjustments. You just can't stand on one area everytime and get the same results. Another thing is if you are practicing you shouldn't get frustrated because you are there trying new things and sharpening up your skills.

Thank you for all the input everyone. If done a lot of practicing and focusing as of late and it's paying off. I ended fall league in April with a 164 average and thru practice and thru the first 3 weeks of summer league I'm averaging 190.

The trick I've focused on was staying slowing hitting my mark and most importantly staying behind the ball. That was one of my biggest struggles.

Thank you all again.

Congratulations on pulling your average up to 190, but I have to question any PSO that puts 3 assym balls into the hands of a 160 average bowler, because they're harder to control and honestly, you aren't ready for them due to release inaccuracies. Did the PSO try to talk you out of such strong balls or no?
