ok so ive been bowling for a few months serious, i started fall/winter of last year and have been trying to improve my game. I started out with a Brunswick power groove and now that i look back i honestly dont know why i got a new ball. because i had just started doing well with it a couple months ago with a high series of 679 and high game of 258. ever since then my game has been going downhill. my average right now is 174, and im using a morich solid levRG.
the ball is fine if you hit your mark, but i find that if i push it out to like 15-17 or whatever on accident, it WILL NOT come back under any circumstance, unless i chicken wing it or something, which is extremely frustrating. i can't even begin to tell you how man 1,3,4's ive left. when this happens i just turn around and walk away without even looking at the result, because i know i missed. not only that, i cannot find a good line with the ball, and i cant get any sort of consistency. maybe the ball is just less forgiving than the power groove and i'm just really bad/inconsistent.
i got a coaching session and the guy from the proshop said my revrate is low, around 225. however a couple of times i threw a pretty bad ball so maybe its a little higher? i don't know. lately ive been trying to come straight up and through at the release rather than put too much hand in it.. its working somewhat but now my speeds down to like 11mph in league, usually open bowling im around 13-15
basically i'd like to know what kind of ball would be best for me at this point in time.. seems like the morich solid levrg might be too advanced for me.. i cant get any sort of consistency out of it.
thanks for reading
