My ugly bowling video
« on: January 18, 2004, 01:56:37 AM »
Since everyone else is doing it, i did it.

Notice how my first step goes to the left. Im working to get rid of that. And I already stated about my kinda short approach.

Channel Surfer,

You are a mess. Your approach is in need of a major overhaul. Where do we start..? The size of your steps should be like they are when you're walking down the street. Those things that you do shouldn't even be called steps.

Now, it's OK to be sideways, but then you should start sideways. This way, you're already in position from when you start till when you finish.

Also, your slide foot should be facing your target when you slide, not twisted to the left at the line. Your whole body should be facing your target throughout your approach and follow through.

You're also finishing about a foot to 1 1/2 ft. behind the foul line. You should be at the foul line when you release the ball. When you work on your steps, and after increasing them in length, you should be closer to the foul line. So this will correct itself naturally, I hope.

We're going to stop right here with my advice. Because this is plenty for you to be working on at one time. Remember though, that your average will probably go down as your working on your game.

Good luck and don't despair. Because after you have the kinks worked out, your average will sky rocket up higher than where it is now. =:^D

My comment would be .. GREAT .. do that EVERY TIME and we'll see you on TV!


If that IMPLIES you need NO IMPROVEMENT .. I apologize .. cause my feeling is ALL OF US NEED IMPROVEMENT .. I'm glad I didn't say GREAT SHOT (on your strike) I wonder what that would IMPLY?

I guess the absence of derogatory statements was an acceptance of the presentation .. I assumed it meant I wasn't capable of comment .. SORRY again!

I second that. I use to loft the ball quite a lot (not as much as you though), and it really hurts you. I fixed it and now I set it down way better. I am going to try to get a video of myself too and see what everyone thinks of me.
