Title: Music while practicing
Post by: chaos10187 on May 30, 2007, 03:10:10 PM: What kind of music do you listen to when you practice? I like to listen to anything that gets me pumped and ready. What songs do you guys listen to?

I bowl to almost everything:

classic rock,
rock/pop,
alternative,
hiphop,
rap,
electronica <<<awesome stuff, my new fav
indie rock <<<awesome stuff, my also new fav

I'm sure the desk man tired of hearing this one song way too much. But, it had that perfect metronome beat for bowling; I can still hear it today when I summon it during practice.

"Some Kind of Wonderful" by Grand Funk Railroad.

He had been shooting alright, just wasn't able to put up any decent #'s consistantly. He was shooting singles, so it wasn't going to affect anybody else if it completly failed. He ended up shooting his best of the event-970 or so with handicap for 4 games. I'm not entirely sure what he was listening to, but I believe it was mainly rock with some rap in there-stuff that got his blood pumping.

I think for him, it kept him from over-analyzing what he was doing and what was happening-kept his brain from getting in the way.

Post by: KDawg77 on May 31, 2007, 09:25:13 AM: I don't wear mine during practice because it didn't do anything. I have at times worn it when I wasn't on the approach between frames basicalyl because I didn't want to talk a lot or hear banal and empty conversations. Musically, I skip around to more rock/metal and a few rap "songs".
