hitting the target
« on: April 07, 2008, 06:09:19 AM »
Hey guys i used to be good at this i could hit my mark almost everytime.. I hurt my wrist a few months ago at a tourney and thought that once i healed everything would be ok..  Well its not im like a new person i cant hit my mark two times in a row i lost alot of hook on my ball I did get better at spares but any suggestions on how to pratice hitting a mark..  my average is suffering from a 200 avg to a 169 avg this time around

The thing I usually try to do is focus on my foot sliding on the same board and then rolling the ball over the same arrow everytime. The arrows are easier for me to aim at because i think they are about 15ft (i think) away as to the pins being about 60ft and break point around 40ft. But even sometimes hitting the same marks doesn't always end up with the same results because of ball speed and release. With a bad wrist you might be suffering from inconsistencys like that, that may make it look like your not hitting a mark but really your release is changning and possibly getting the ball in a roll sooner or later.

I would agree too with the inconsistency of your release/form.
I only say this cause I deal the the same demons here. When I'm in zone and my release is smooth/not grabbing I can hit my mark on a regular basis. When it's off/form I miss left of target on a regular basis. Last Friday was testimony to this. Went 179 - 168 - 255 front 9 and in the 10th got soft and left the greek church.
