Ok, I'm getting there...
« on: March 05, 2004, 12:23:37 AM »
I went bowling yesterday and did horrible.  But I discovered something very important.  At some points, I kind of felt like I was "dropping" the ball, even though i wasn't.  But, although I had a low axis tilt when i did that, my ball hooked more than what I normally do, which i thought was just a normal, high tracking shot.  I assume this means most of the time my thumb stays in the ball, and I "thumb" it (like someone posted yesterday).  Now, if i could work with this to get my thumb out quickly, and get my track back up, I'll be going somewhere.  Another reason i think this, is because i tried it with two fingers (no thumb to interfere) and i got a smooth release with a lot of revs, with the release I normally do with the thumb in.  i know the two finger thing does that, but the rev difference and smoothness was way different, backing up my "theory".

Next time I'm at league practice, I'll have BK watch me and figure out when to release.  Hear that boy?

Yea, you feel like your dropping it because your used to lofting it to the arrows!(literally) plus, its going 19 mph!!!!!!!!!! but yea, i'll check it out when i see you, remember, no league tommorow!

AM not A CHICK OF BOWLING but I wanted to be in Manda's clique And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS! I'd rather blow it over with my storm, and 21mph ball speed on dry shots.

I also assume the lofting was due to it hanging in the thumbhole, and BK, I only do that when I get A) hyped up or B) I'm walking fast and whipping it forward.  Or both.

I'm gonna put some black tape in the hole and see if it helps, since I probably won't get it for a while...
