For those of you who aren't in the know, mr Knaubloch was a good defensive second baseman for the yankees who after a few throwing errors developed such a mental block he couldn't throw to first base.  cost him his career.

I've bowled competetively outside of leagues for the first time in 3 years twice in the past month.  I find myself babying the ball, lower ball speed, and a LOT more inconsistency.  Although I made the cut in the first sweeper I ever bowled, the cut scorew wasn't impressive and I threw a very unimpressive game to lose in the first round.  

I don't have a problem shooting spares it doesn't seem like.  My real problem is throwing the stirke ball.  picked up a beast pearl mica drilled conservatively and i can now play deep inside, a God send...BUT, i'm still babying the ball...maybe I need to slow down the approach, or take smaller steps, but something's gotta give or I'm not going to be much of a competitor.

any helps?

thanks.

  You are so right. I find this out every time I
practice. I printed out the posts as a reminder.
 Of course you need a good release and timing,
but that all seems to get better in the process
of free wheeling.
