Heres a good one for ya...
« on: March 14, 2006, 04:49:18 PM »
Everyone and their brother has a post on here about being a stroker and wanting to know how to put more hand in the ball and become either a tweener or cranker.  BUT how many on here were at once a cranker, and decided that to be more accurate at hitting a mark and to give your scores more consistancy to become a down and in stroker and not put as many revs on the ball??  I caught myself tonight throwing Norm Duke's favorite down and in line (at an angle towards the pocket off of 5, with just enough hand to finish in the pocket) with my Tonado that is drilled 5x5 (i think so anyways) and shot the last 7 of my last game for a 223.  Then in practice two more games right afterwards, i used my Doom and shot the same line, shot 250 and 231.

223+250+231= 704

for me, that is +128 for the last three games i rolled tonight on that line.  Might be something to look into.  I was playing to boards off of the last dot (two dots from the middle) and shooting on 15, swinging to about 8.  BIG difference.  Better carry, and accuracy for me.

I've cut way back on my revs and it's paid off with my average being 10pins more than last year.  A few weeks ago I went into a mini slump.  I realized I was trying to do to much with the ball and not getting a consistent reaction plus my accuracy went down.  The last couple of weeks since getting back to a more of a stroker mentality I've scored better.  The thing is I can still play 15 out to 5 and score well, even without turning up the revs.

   I cut my revs in half. Used to twist the hell out of it, I'll never bowl that way again.

The main thing i am worried about with making this change, is will i still be able to open the lane up if i need to?  I hope that i am not killing all the hand that i worked hard to obtain just in case i ever need it again.  BUT, if my scores go up, i dont care.
