Can somebody knock some sense into me?
« on: June 20, 2015, 06:14:42 PM »
I need to stop trying to put more revs on a ball. Every time I have tried in the past, I have screwed it up and failed to add more revs. Now I have actually succeeded in doing it, and it feels good coming off my hand, but my scores are plummeting. I can't carry a strike to save my life and I am leaving a ton of splits. I have tried playing different parts of the lane, but that doesn't help. My consistency is gone. I need you guys to convince me to stop trying to be a bowler I am not. I need to get rid of idea that more revs will not improve my game.

Less is more. Lofting the gutter cap looks cool, but usually isn't practical in league play. The harder you hit the ball and the more you try to do to influence its motion, the less likely you will be able to consistently repeat shots. Let the ball do the work for you.

Be deliberate without being forceful.
