I need help..........
« on: June 21, 2006, 01:49:11 PM »
ok here is the thing. I am bowling in a summer 2 man league, current ave after tonight will be 209. Thing is I can't get a 700, I have had a couple in the past but nothing in the last year. I always blow it in the third game. Tonight for example I had a 222, 279 (damn 4 pin in the 5th frame) so I had 501 going in........ I ended with a 665 series. I'm averaging 216 for the first game, 224 for the second and an ugly 186 for the third.....

I know it's mental, I can't get myself zeroed in to finish strong. It's not the oil breakdown (atleast tonight it wastn't) cause after the game was done I threw a 6 bagger. Throwing the 279 game was a breeze, no nerves, no worries, I even turned around after I let the last ball go cause I knew. What can I do to prepare myself mentally for the third game? Any tips or tricks out there? Maybe it's just confidence and the fact that I blew about 10 700's this past season alone. Fatigue isn't an issue at all. Thanks for any help.

I really can't say too much my only 700 was in my no tap league but i will say my coach tells me take each ball as if it's your first, chill out and breath and u should fly thru like a breeze(hey that rhymed )

Quit watching your scores; just relax and repeat quality shots; less is more.

BTW, it'll come !!!

I think the key here is you are bowling on a doubles team.  That means there is only 4 people per pair compared to the normal 8-10.  Transition isn't setting in until the 3rd game rather than early in the 2d game.

Your shot is burning up, probably leaving a bunch of corner pins and splits in the 3rd game.

Next time use the 10th frame fill ball in the 2d game to look for another line that gives better carry.

I agree to a point with this statement however I was doing it during the winter league to, which is a 5 man team. I baely moved last night at in position, I was playing deep with my Big One cause the other 3 people on the league are not very good (including my wife, ave of 109). The other team averages were 137, and 167. My second game of 279 beat their team total scratch. I know they were all moving around the oil pretty good and all 3 were playing up the outside boards and in. A few arrent shoots down the middle but not enough of them to mess the shot up too bad.....
