Fellow bowlers are often treated to the sight of a pteradactyl sized item flapping its wings to get out of the bowling center. It's always MY concentration leaving the building.

Now there is so much going on outside of bowling in my life that I'm lucky if I remember any shots I've thrown the last three years.
Funny thing, I remember them in detail during that "Focus" period!

For instance, you could ask me to throw two identical brand bowling balls drilled identically, but with different color grips. I'll easily average 20 pins higher with the ball with the better looking grips than with the other one, even though they are identical balls that react the same. Basically, if I like the way the ball looks going down the lane, I'll bowl better with it.
Somehow I doubt that guys like Pete Weber and Walter Ray Williams give a rat's *** about how their ball looks!
I go through periods where sometimes I need to concentrate more on my bowling before and after each shot, and other times I go through periods where I want to think about anything BUT bowling between shots.
I must have adult ADD syndrome. Yeah, that's it...

You weren't unlucky when you left that corner pin, so shut up about it already!!

I need to put more concentration on a better game two as so far I have thrown:
Week 1: 252-215-226=693
Week 2: 221-161-233=615

during leagues. I am much more focussed (sp)
at a tourney or for instance my summer scratch league.
I easily can watch my ball traveling on the lane and can see
a minute difference in any ball thrown. If I LOSE MY focus
I will start to spray the lanes using 4 boards instead of my normal
2. If I had this FOCUS in fall league I would be averaging
about 220. I bowl in the fall with a group that is not
serious about the game, if I could come up with a team
that had fun but was still serious I would love the fall
instead of the summer.

Any suggestions on how to format this notebook? I have some vague ideas, but it would be nice to have a firm plan on how to organize my data.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

I use it now (25 mg) before I work out. Gives me the energy and seriously clears my head.

I'm thinking; foot position, mark, breakpoint, and backend reaction.
Kendog, I keep track of the first three items, the last one depends on the ball I am using. I also track the lane numbers (historically in our house certain lanes play deeper than others), The oil pattern if I know it, which ball, which release and the finger dancing (from Ron's tips) number. Most of that info is like what Sawbones said to use it for, to remind myself of what I am trying to do on each lane just before my turn to bowl. I also track where each shot ended up, what pins were left and which I missed, and any errors (slowed down, pulled, etc) so that I can make corrections, or at least, try to.
