So I was bowling right handed and have always been told Im a closet lefty. I throw the ball great right handed, but my mechanics are better left handed. I can even throw the ball good left handed, just kind of slow. Have to work a little more on accuracy and repeating shots.
So after a good 4 years with the last few being so so, I have finally figured to give up on bowling due to alot of frustrations but thanks to my parents Im going to give a shot at being lefty. No small task, but Im so cofident I can get it done.
I told myself if I did well in a no tap tourny that I would buy a couple of new balls and set myself up for success. I placed 6th out of 18 by shooting 800. That was my goal for the time being and I was extremely glad I got it.
Now onto the balls. Buddies proshop has Lane 1 on sale right now for 105 shipped. I picked up the Uranium Solid and the H2O Pearl. Im currently throwing right at 14 mph left handed. The ball Im currently using is a right handed label leverage The Beast. I have alot of control and I track right beside the fingers but not over. Im of course going to go with a couple of stronger layouts, but not exactly sure what yet.
If someone could point me into the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I am versatile as well left handed. Im usually playing deeper, but due to the layout on The Beast, Im playing mostly 12-15 throwing the ball over 6-8 with a decent reaction. All opinions would be helpful. Thanks!
