Your head is on better now, and that will continue to happen for many more years. Its about making spares at your level and you are more consistant at trying to make them.
It took me 5 years to average 200... 1972-1977. Today it is entirely possible to average 200 in 12-18 months... and many many do with todays bowling balls and lane conditions.
No you can teach yourself at least until you get to 210 or so. At that point, the understanding of bowling balls and layouts and such is much easier with an expert. But physically you can teach yourself well, with video and all the information that is available today. Truth be known, I have never had a coach. I have asked many specific questions and applied what I thought I needed.
You are asking really good questions. But remember, everyone learns things at different paces. Your averaging 200 as a goal is good, but dont let it slow you down or hold you back. Keep an open mind, focus on smaller obtainable goals (ie. perfecting my first step, increasing my swing speed by developing a better pushaway, follow through toward target while maintaining a 90degree should alignment to target). You can be the next Pete Weber, we all can. Its about dedication, determination and understanding.
