I HATE 300'S!
« on: January 17, 2004, 02:48:53 AM »
i can never hit it, like today i bowled front 7, then 7-6,10 split then struck out, i alawys feel so pressured when i get down the strech, mess it up, then pressures off and then strike out. I HATE IT!

Just think of it this way -
a 300 game is NOT 12 strikes in a row.
It's one strike at a time, 12 times.
Just worry about the frame you're in - forget the what ifs - and you'll pull it off.

The only thing that should be going through your head at ANY time when you step on the approach should be:

"I'm going to throw THIS SHOT good."

i thought i had my first 300 friday night. i was throwing the ball great and had the front 8 my last game. i threw a nice shot in the 9th and left a 10 pin. which really isnt nothing new to me. the last 5 times i've had the front 9 i've left a single pin. 4 of those were good shots (two stone 10 pins, one 8 pin, one 7 pin) and the other i was a hair high and left a 4 pin.

anyways enough about me. what i fell helps take some pressure off is to take a few deep breaths and close your eyes and vision a good shot before you go into your preshot routine. basically you just wanna try and stay confident and believe in yourself and it'll happen.

Don't look at your score and don't count your strikes.
