//I'd like to have a stronger mental approach.//
^that probably is mine, too, though for the last 2 sessions i've had a terrific mental game. it's probably temporary, but hopefully i can get it back the way i got it in the first place, which was reading about quiet eye targeting-
http://bowlingknowledge.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=189&Itemid=1my dad had actually told me about watching a tv program about this study a few years ago, but i hadn't thought about it for bowling. but yeah the improvement to my mental gain is probably just that i was thinking about implementing what i learned, and when i get more used to doing it that benefit will go away some, but hopefully the vast improvement in accuracy stays... i also did some work on my armswing and release to help that.
but i feel like my mental game will still be much better than before, because now i get up to the approach, lock on the target, and like seperate myself from my eyes, think about my keys and go. idk if this helps but thought i'd offer it. it's very similar to something i heard randy say in a clip from a teaching vid he did on youtube yesterday about how he targets, and then goes and doesn't think.
sorry about the bulk and disorginization. My 2 are accuracy and mental game, and i feel like they're very tied together. when i mess up an important shot, it's almost always accuracy from where i walked or my arm getting involved and causing the miss.
