cramp got me scared!
« on: December 26, 2008, 11:41:16 AM »
i was bowling in a tournament today (9 games) and on the 8th game, first ball, let it go and felt my feet getting cramped, the big toe to be precise. then i started to shake it so it goes away, then on the spare shot, my hand got cramped. it was just moving by itself, it scared the shiat out of me.

i left my powergame long time ago, im always looking for smoothness and accuracy, this accident got me thinking, am i really letting it go?

any similar experiences?

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Cramping is often attributed to dehydration.  Especially during longer formats you have to remember to drink water even if you don't think you're thirsty.

That is why even during the telecast of the PBA you see them all drinking water.  Bottles of water are usually available at all regionals and national tour stops to the bowlers.  It is a must while bowling large blocks.
