Does anyone think they could benefit from improved FOCUS?
« on: May 25, 2004, 02:15:41 AM »
With all the talk about Q-Links and whatnot, I thought the reeeeal issue is more about FOCUS when bowling.  Some people simply "go through the motions" without executing the things they've been working on.... like me!

So, who here needs more FOCUS?

I think I could definitely use a lot more what was this about?  My focus is terrible because I think I over analyse everything.  I think if I just got up there and got a few simple things and focused on them I would be fine, but instead I try to do too much and it becomes a jumbled mess.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

My focus is just fine, thank you.  It's my lack of talent that's killing me.

When I was taking my fat burning suplements (thermogenics) the one ingredient that really improved my focus was Ephedrine HCl.  No, it is not the ephedrine but a cleaner version of it.  Sure it gives you energy, but more importantly it seems to really clear your head.

I use it now (25 mg) before I work out.  Gives me the energy and seriously clears my head.

I'm thinking; foot position, mark, breakpoint, and backend reaction.


Kendog, I keep track of the first three items, the last one depends on the ball I am using.  I also track the lane numbers (historically in our house certain lanes play deeper than others), The oil pattern if I know it, which ball, which release and the finger dancing (from Ron's tips) number.  Most of that info is like what Sawbones said to use it for, to remind myself of what I am trying to do on each lane just before my turn to bowl.  I also track where each shot ended up, what pins were left and which I missed, and any errors (slowed down, pulled, etc) so that I can make corrections, or at least, try to.
