have you?
« on: August 04, 2008, 01:12:48 PM »
Ever been on a string and stick so bad you fell and couldn't find the lane afterwards? Shot 237 for the first game then in the first frame of the second game of four I stuck and pulled a full Machuga(sp) except my knee tried to stop me. My hand killed for about 20 mins but we were bowling the vacancy so I was able to continue, but couldn't walk with out feeling like I was going to fall on my face. Any tips on getting your head back after a fall? BTW shot 577 for the series, never got anything back.

I've been in a similar situation not quite on a big string or anything but I stuck bad and got thrown for a loop in a tournament.

I find that just try to clear your mind, forget that the fall or stick happened and get back on your game. It is not easy but I just find that if i do what I can to either take care of what I did wrong or change sole/heel on my shoe I am good to move on. All you can really do is just go back up and do you absolute best to throw good shots after, just get back to lining up and hitting your mark.
