Translate from plant to slide
« on: March 11, 2017, 09:29:56 PM »
Fellow BR family,   

I've bowled for 24 yrs, and I've always used the plant method, but with me finally learning all the aspects of playing the game the right way (basics, fundamentals, all handstand and feet adjustments, all hand positions, and can play almost any part of the lane).    I'm ready for tournaments and more (also been on sport patterns for 2 years now and it's humbling).   I just started this past Thursday, and it's going to take quite a while to get used to.

What ways, advise, or techniques/videos can you guide me to to help transition to it smoothly as possible? Thanks in advance.  P.S,  I have slide 10 soles on the way to me Tuesday, and I practice 15-18 games a week to get prepared for the change.

Impending/Charlest,


I'm currently using a s6 (for a week now) and the house I bowl at is primarily sticky, and the s6 just isn't enough slide; As Jeff has mentioned, I have used a person's s10, and it gets me in a more comfortable slide. Also as some of you have mentioned, since I have to be real patient and take 1,2,and 3 steps to get familiar, it is coming along, and my comfort is getting better.   Thanks yet again for the informative suggestions.  :)

Good luck, and may you never take a tumble.
