I wouldnt call it a career really....... but, I have contemplating quiting competitive bowling for the last couple months.
My timing had been so terrible (on and off, up and down).
I would shoot 760-740-580-680-550-660......... ugh.
I've tried everything in my knowledge to fix it, and nothing worked.
I would slow the feet down and the swing would stay the same....
I would slow the swing down and the feet would speed up....
I tried taking my hand out of the ball and play straighter...... nope.
Tried moving in and slow hooking it........ nope.
The last thing I tried was switching to 16lbs from 15lbs.
and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I never thought about doing it considering I'm 140 lbs soaking wet in the ocean with a dolphin on my back.....
The swing naturally slowed a hair and all I had to do was concentrate on keeping the feet at a good tempo.
Not only did my timing correct itself but I can manipulate the ball better too.
(hand positions, speed, direction, etc...)
So if anyone out there is throwing 14/15 lbs and is having some tough times try the next pound up and it might just SAVE YOUR "CAREER".
