Im 15 yrs old, ive been bowling for 8-9 months, and have a 182 avg. which is pretty good i guess. my problem right now is its hard to be consistent with my release and my placement. i went to a 5 step approach to keep from rushing the line, which has helped a lot. my dad says to use a wrist brace until my release gets consistent, but i snap a little with my wrist when i follow through, so the brace just kinda hinders me.
