What's your biggest bowling challenge you want to work on over the summer?
« on: May 08, 2009, 05:14:28 AM »
I know a lot of us end up spending the summer shoring up parts of our game that we hope to improve for the next fall/ winter league and tournament play. What challenge are you going to work on most with your bowling game over the next few months?

For myself, I'm going to work on improving my wrist strength as I notice the deeper I move into the lane and the more I require a stronger release to maintain carry, I struggled this season in my carry percentage. A secondary goal will be dedicating more time to the mental game.

Staying behind the ball and working more of the inside of the ball without having to tweak my wrist so much.

I plan on working on making my transistions faster and better. I also want to make my release more consistant(I change my tilt and all too much and it causes the ball to turn slightly different each time. Also want to work on picking up a few more lane 1 balls since getting my h20(wonderful ball).
