Anyone else starting off the season slow..really slow?
« on: September 28, 2012, 04:24:28 PM »
I don't know what the problem is, but it seems from the end of last season, to now I've lost everything. I'm on a new team this year, bowling with guys I know but have never bowled with. I don't know whether I'm just pressing too hard, trying to do well or what. It's brutal, only good thing that with me bowling at my worst, we're still taking 20 or more points. It's getting aggravating though. So back to my original question, anyone else starting out slow or have started out slow? What'd you do to fix it? Practice or just let it sort it self out?

Week 1-604
Week 2-624
Week 3-664
Week 4-684

Took summer off so started a little slow but have been improving a little each week

My heart bleeds ... starting off with 600s.

charlest,

My Blue Vibe (40x3x55, P2 hole), Grape Vibe (50x2x20, P2 hole), my solid levrg (70x2-1/2x50, P2 hole)) and Jet (50x4-1/2x40, P3 hole) are all at 4000....the Karma (70x4-3/4x50, no hole) is at box finish.

I am almost to the point of going weaker (Slingshot, Freeze) with a pin axis layout.

This has been my worst start ever to a season. I have bowled quite a few sets under 550. After the first 7 weeks of league I went down to my proshop and was talking to my friend Broc who works down there and we assesed the situation, drilled a new ball with a drilling I havent used in quite some time and BAM......661, 625 & 677 for the week. I will take that over what I had been shooting any day. Sometimes you just need a changing of the guard to get back on track.....

my teammate is starting real slow. through 7 weeks he was below 200 when he is usually over 210-215. he attributes it to getting older, his shoulder being slow to warm up and not bowling all summer. he also says he needs a new ball. last week though he seemed to come out of it and shot like 640. he had been hitting the pocket but not carrying
