I HATE TEN PINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: March 05, 2007, 04:21:34 AM »
I went to go practice today. I bowled 6 games. I was throwing my Doom, BW and Action. I threw my Doom most out of the three. I averaged probably around 180-185. Each game I must have had at least 4 or 5 ten pins. If I didn't leave ten pins I probably would have averaged about at least a 220 today. I have never seen so many ringing and flat 10's in my life. I'm going to go crazy with these stupid 10's. Maybe I'll just bring a gun to the bowling alley next time and just shoot at the tens.

Wallshot,
Isnt our sport strange like that.  Sounds like you took the same mentality as a golfer does with their putting.  Cross handed grip, conventional, long putter, the list goes on and on.  

Glad to hear you have worked out the bug!

I've always considered myself a good spare shooter but when it came to 10 pins I would go in cycles. For a month or so I couldn't miss one if I tried and then another month I'd be missing 'em like crazy. I just went through one of these phases where I missed 5-10 pins in one league session and a couple more the next night in another league. Solution: I plugged up a Blue Dot I had laying around and drilled it conventional. Since then I've missed one ten pin (out of about 20). The ball comes off the fingers and hand simultaneously and as long as I keep my arm and elbow straight in line with the target it's bye-bye 10 pin!


I am going through that stage right now too. I was having problems with ten pins for about 2 or 3 weeks where I only made about 2 out of 10. I used to aim for the arrows when I threw at the 10 pins but I recently changed to just looking at the 10 pin when I throw and eversince then I am probably like somewhere around 20-25 out of 30. I know that's not too good but when I first started doing that I was like 9 for 10 with ten pins, but last week in my league I had a problem and missed a few. I don't know what it is, it's like for one month I'll be dead on with ten pins, but then the next month I'll miss like 3 out of 5 each week. It's weird.

I have studied with the great all knowing Mushtare, I am now able to adjust to 10 pins before they occur, I can sense the aura of the 10 and adjust for it during my swing, and I can now type without using a period
