After getting my rant out and acting like a baby in my other thread I made this morning, i just thought of something VERY interesting. I am more accurate when i throw it "harder". By harder, i mean my normal spare shot speed, which is about 19. I try to have a free armswing and stuff, but notice that if i don't have a lot of arm momentum (fast swing), my hand will just stay in the ball and it will loft and look all horrible. But my spare shot comes off so smoothly, and i hit my targets VERY well. I think the reason is that since my swing is going faster, i have less time to do something stupid and twist my arm or do some dumb thing like that. Yes, now that i think about it it's true. The spares i make are all thrown 19 or above....Spares thrown with my version of a "free" armswing (like 17 or whatever) tend to be pulled. Now, I'm trying to think of how this would work for my strike game. If you read the other post, you saw that (i'm cooled off now, and still actually mean it) that in my current house, it literally benefits those who fluff the ball (like 12mph, 200rpm), and the fast people who get revs. I'm in the middle. But now that i think about it, if i learned to get enough wrist action going on (aka get revs) to be able to hook it enough at the spare shot speed, then i could have something going on, since my accuracy would be up. Heck, i don't care if i have to play up 5 as long i stop shooting crap playing from 35-2 and hoping it doesn't go high. The only problem i see is not having enough revs. But if i teach myself to have good rev mechanics that shouldn't be a problem, considering my no thumb shot is LOADED with revs. IF nick had 520rpm or so before, this means i probably have 600 no thumb. So i have the power, its just a matter of having the right mechanics without screwing up my arm.
What do you think? First off am i just crazy for saying that i'm more accurate at higher speeds, or is this actually possible? ALso, give me feeback on my proposed idea. Am i a pyscho with an odd thinking pattern? Pretty much it's this, or going no thumb. Or just staying the way i am and shooting low scores. But i'd rather not do that.
