If you could change one part of your game.......
« on: May 29, 2010, 04:27:22 PM »
.......and replace it with someone else's,what would it be?

 I would like to replace my  horizontal  swing,with a vertical swing of someone
in the line of Chris Barnes or Tommy Jones.

 Tired of this older flatter swing.

If I really wanted to work on it, I would try to eliminate the big loop in my backswing.  I've tried but it feels very awkward, I've told myself it takes time and I know it will.  But I am no spring chicken anymore and what would I be making the change for?  I have no desire to bowl professionally at the Regional level or even to try the Senior tour (I'll be 48 this Sept).  We have no PBAX leagues to compete at a higher level, pretty much all tournaments I can bowl are of the THS type, City and State Tourneys are THS, several out of state ones I can participate in are THS.  So, I feel that the loop will be there forever, at lest it's consistent(from years of bowling).  By the way I have several 300/800's on THS and booked 230 this 2010/11 season (my highest avg ever).

If you wouldn't give your left arm for Pete Weber's release, you're not paying enough attention.

My release is similar to  Brad Angelo's,this gets me in trouble with  some of today's sports conditions.
I would like to work on more forward roll.And less tilt.

I agree because I'd love to have PDWs' free no-grab swing and release.

I guess I could try not to strike so much and miss a few spares here and there, so that others may have a shot at bowling better than me.
