I've got a really backwards problem. I've been fighting my mechanics for a long time. Put in a lot of thinking, reading, asking questions, and it's gotten to the point where I throw the ball so clean that I'm having reaction problems on house shots. I used to have a weird little corkscrew twist or flap in my backswing, and I fixed that, I still turn my wrist instead of going straight back (think old school Mike Edwards), but the flap is gone, and I snap through at the bottom so quick and clean that I'm having trouble getting the ball to read soon enough when I have to move in to fresh head oil. I'm sure I'll get it figured out, but I just wanted to share proof that if you put in the time and the effort, you'll get there. I had a marathon practice session Sunday and I had the front 7 or 8 so many times I lost track. I'm used to having to play the lanes to cover up my common misses, so now it's a little odd being able to play them for good shots. I've got to figure out what to do in transition now, but again, when the more common mistake is throwing the ball TOO good instead of throwing it bad, I'll take that anytime.
I've got the high average on our summer sport league by several pins, and with my average already close to 230 on our regular house shots, I'm excited for fall league to start now . .
