high expectations
« on: December 04, 2010, 12:55:41 PM »
i use a new ball in my bowling league tonite and i struggled with it. i threw it good in practice but could not do nothing with it during the actual games tonite. i still stunned about it. i had such high expectations for this ball.
the ball is a hammer black widow bite.

It is NEVER the balls fault.  Either you weren't throwing the ball well, you picked a ball that doesnt match up well to your game, or the ball was not meant for the conditions you tried to use it on.

Probably too early. Personally, I never take a ball to league that I haven't used in various houses and conditions. I fell into that trap long time ago, having high hopes on new equipment. But Bahshay is right: it is the user's fault - either being too tense to produce good results, or just not knowing how to use the ball properly.

Go Practice and see what the ball is doing, make surface changes from there. Its too early to be disappointed!
