Something positive
« on: January 28, 2014, 12:04:48 PM »
Everybody list something(s) positive that's going on in their bowling "career." 

I got my video camera yesterday and am excited to start posting videos again!

Jayhawk's Detox brought my Sigma Tour back to life, and my last league set with it was a refreshing change from how league has gone the last month or so.

Had some great interactions with people at the shop on Saturday, helped a few people iron some things out with their bowling and drilled a few balls, was a good day.

It's finally tournament season and I'm bowling well!  I've been winning bracket cash and turning it in to more bracket cash.

Also, I'll be getting a IQ Fusion Tour soon, so there's that.  8)

I have my three "Honor" game trinkets for this year(300, 800, 11-in-a-row) out of the way. As it's the last year they will be awarded for repeating such demanding tasks, I wanted to be sure to get the last crumbs!  ;D ;D

My teams are very near the top of the list in both leagues I bowl and show no signs of leaving those spots, very happy.

After 3 months of self videoing and analyzing, I believe I've nailed down an approach were I'm comfortable and I can repeat shots. Now to get back the 10 pins I drop in average doing this by the end of the season.

Improvements on spare shooting, targeting, and now I'm getting the ball in the swing earlier so that I can eliminate muscle.... getting closer to Anthony Pepe's form little by little........ Naw, not really, LOL!

Made a change to my timing/footwork about three weeks ago.  Didn't work on it at all, just made the change.  Taking a bit to get used to, but seems to be working.  Had my first nite with three clean games.  No splits, chopped/ missed spares.  Never had done that before, been bowling since the early 90's.

Glad to see things are looking up for you.

Personally, I have been working on changing/fixing my footwork, and I seem to be almost there. I felt what others were saying I've been doing during league on Monday, and managed to adjust my feet cadence for a 255 to save a 620.

Got my release pretty much down, I now have a ball (hyper cell) which has installed some confidence that hasn't been in a while.  I've been working on transitioning my game a little bit for about a year or so, and my coach live 3 hours away.  yep, I've been getting coached mainly on the phone. 

release....check.
ball......check.
footwork......che
(there can't be too much more holding me in the low 200's for average  ;D )


Got 2 new(old) pieces in the works.  NIB Freak and Freak Out.

Are you serious.... :-)

Drinking helps me reach that calm place and everything stops moving as fast...
