I gotta stop doing this...
« on: November 07, 2006, 11:49:36 AM »
Went open bowling tonight to work on my game.  4 really bad games out of 8, but I blame that on my own stupidity.

The other 4:

Three decent (low 200's), and 300.  Too bad it doesn't count for anything, but I still did it.

That's three 300's, none of which count for anything...I gotta stop doing that.

Question that I have is why are you worried about your score? When you practice, you should do just that. You are trying things, some may work and some may not, but it is just practice.

If your house can do it, then have them shut the score screen off and just go bowl. I reall get a kick out of people that keep saying what they shot in practice, but can not seem to do it during the league. During league, there is a different pace, different pressure and different oil.

My advice is to just relax and not worry about the SCORES until they actually count for something. Try things and see hwo they feel, get used to doing different things. Get your body used to doing those things over and over again. Not sure what the amount is, but they say it takes X amount of games to get your muscles used to do what you are trying to do. So sit back, relax and bowl...

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 18 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND SMASH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING!!!

I know My BIL was amazed one time when we went to practice and i told him shoot the 10 in the first from and if you make it then shoot your strike ball. Of i will try ti hit both corner pins, one alley i went to would allow you to set only certain pins or groups of pins to practice spares.  Of course i will many times throw the ball at my mark and work on form and not care what t does to the pins.

what you were doing was bowling, not practicing. When you practice, dont keep score!! Pick something in your game that needs improvement (spares, timing, release) and stick to that.
