i learned to bowl back in 1996 and went to the shoe store to buy "bowling shoes". i got some bowling shoes alright only they were airwalks that looked like bowling shoes.the box even has people bowling on it and says bowling shoes. funny huh? i went on to learn how to bowl in these, NOT sliding and got pretty darn good at bowling. 13 years later i still use these shoes and average 208. i never slide in fact if i put on a pair of bowling shoes i cant get any leverage. i feel like im on ice. another thing i never do is look at a mark. i have always just bowled in an area with "feel". may sound strange and may get blasted but i wanted to share how i do it. im not the best bowler around. i have 6 750-800 series with a high of 773. i have 4 289's and no 300. im just a creature of habit. anyone else do things that arent typical?

heres a funny story for you all. last year during rep level in my district , the heel on the right side of my sst5's came off when i was bowling so to keep bowling i had to grab the right shoe of the shoes i wore into the bowl while the glue set on the heel. guttered first ball, spared then bagged out . very strange combo, black sst5 on the left shoe and bright green puma clyde on the right.got some strange looks
