spy gate
« on: January 06, 2017, 04:16:00 PM »
When I do bowl well, you'll find me taking notes on a sheet of paper. It's something I do a lot these days as part of my routine. Also, I have short term memory and ADD. I take note of pins I left and why I left it. And also, where my feet and targets are. I just can't remember and my teams can't help me out lol

Anyway, i bowled on a mens scratch league years ago and my opponent was struggling. I caught him looking at my notes and he did well in the last game to beat me.

I think it happened again recently. I may have caught my opponent doing this. I purposely write messy and confusing stuff just for this reason. I didn't mind if he took a peak for he wouldn't understand it, but the fact that he may have peaked at my notes is a head scratcher.....  ;D :o 8 ::) :P

Why look at what you are writing and not watch you on the actual lane?

Seems that would be much easier…. Especially if you're writing down that you are throwing 3rd arrow out to 7 but when you are on the lane and not hitting either. (Hypothetically)

I don't understand what you're trying to say. May you explain it much clearly?

 Anyway, my method works for me. Likewise, it helps me stay ahead of the pattern beside remember where my feet/spots are. Especially when each lane plays differently in this second shift league. if I was shooting below 630 I'd ditch this method.

I'm pretty sure if someone said, "my target 40 feet down lane is the 7th board" they'll most likely be 40% accurate. A certain HOF introduced me to the nickel test, and since then, I don't try to splice boards  - it's THS pattern I bowl on lol. I just make it "easier" for myself to be taking notes, so bowling can be fun.
