I suck at bowling and always bounce my ball at release
« on: April 28, 2010, 01:14:24 PM »
I suck. Plain and simple .. and heres why

Ive bowled with great form, 200 avg, and more ball speed and revs than I do now,  til I was injured quite a bit this past decade, and especially even until 2006 when I had to quite until just recently

Im trying to upload a video now. Ive had some injuries in the past 6-10 yrs that really get to me.. A torn ACL and MCL on my slide leg, torn Rotator cuff and tendon and nerve damage in my hand, Both on my bowling arm..

So over the years I have altered thing to help take some stress off things.. ESPECIALLY the shoulder . I have a little compilation vid Im trying to upload now but its taking forever, so that you guys could help me.. I know Im bending my elbow a bit and am a little stiff on the release, but hopefully that will come in time, with practice..

But what is the cause and solution for getting a nice smooth release, instead of the hop?

Probably better off asking for help on bowling fans. Seems you've worn out your welcome here.

One of the people who tried to help you when you asked a few days ago for new equipment... Now you are trying to ask to fix a release problem. Do yourself a favor fix your errored release before you bother dropping money on equipment. There's no solution in a box, it's in your hands. As for the little guy comment... No need for the name calling but you are about 30-40 pins behind... Think twice. I was only trying to help... and "call it how I see it"

Class act all the way.  Where do you live, little man?  Would love to show you that I've forgotten more than you will ever know about bowling.  Or do you need more time to heal up from all your injuries.  I know you were stupid enough to put a nail thru your hand.  I can only imagine what dumbass things you did to incur the other injuries. So now, where is it you live.  I travel on business and I will gladly pay the $50 bucks to check my bowling balls on the plane and come show you how pathetic you really are.


Holy S@it dude, where do I live?  you CANT be that stupid.. lolololol

wow reading really does > you  


Trust me guy.. after the attitude you have on here you wouldnt need to check your balls on the plane.. your stay in san antonio wouldnt be long.. but if you really want to see me in person,  I might give you a chance to back up your big mouth on the lanes before I shut you up for good..

Country lanes
University bowl

 And If you still dont know where I live , since I posted my address, you are just to stupid to even talk to anymore

It is probably the angle of your down swing your not getting the ball out in front instead it is right into the ground so the ball bounces.

From your own description above, you are already aware of at least part of your problem.

Try to straighten out your armswing during your pushaway, and concentrate on good cadence/timing to the line.

If you still experience problems, then perhaps your approach needs help (this is often where the problem lies, the release point just emphasizes what one does right or wrong during it).

Also, how does the ball fit in your hand?  If you don't have a properly fit ball, AND your form is south, then your game will certainly suffer.

Finally, if you get more confused and can't figure things out on your own and truly want to improve, then seek out the advice of a qualified coach.

What does ball speed and revs have to do with power?  You really are ignorant aren't you?  Not surprised though, like the man said "the only things in texas are steers and queers".  You're about as dumb as a steer from what you post.  As far as the other, well, I won't ask but I'm sure you'll tell us your other little secret eventually.  You just can't help running your mouth so I'm sure it will come out.


you mean what does power have to do with ball speed and rev. ? And Texas only has steers and queers? And I'M the imature ignorant one??? Lmao wow dude. The 14 yr old insuls are humorous at best. Basically just Shows how weak you are bro. Lolollol. I'm getting under your skin this bad man, where you have to try little child tactics to insult me? At least make it original, or funny.  You truely do suck at life.


Also.  Are you out of your mind? After all the sh/t you talk , you would actually have the balls to wan to see me in person??    Lmao.  Well you are stupid. But you migh be crossing the line bigmouth. I told the whole board my address and where I bowl. How do I know there isn't someone in my area ? Can't be any much more of an open invitation than that, can it?  


Oh. FYI.  I was born in new york raised in Minnesota.  I'm sure you'll have some stupid comment about this too
