Title: Thanks to Sawbones..........
Post by: agroves on September 25, 2003, 09:27:39 AM

I have been going through a crappy slump.  I wasn't carrying and was very inconsistent hitting my mark.  After chiming in on Hamsters post about slumps and not carrying, I realized what it was.  In the past few weeks Bones has said numerous times that your pushaway is normally to blame for bad timing.  

Well, I went out last Sunday and video taped myself.  I realized I was starting my ball in the wrong spot and thus my pushaway was off as was everything else.  I fixed the problem on Tuesday and shot 648.  Not bad, best set this season.  I had three opens and only shot at one ten pin.  I shot 231, 193, and 224.  Thanks for the tip Bones even though it wasn't given directly to me.  

Also, congrats on the 700's.  What a streak, I am about 35 years or so behind you.  My grandfather (67) has never shot one and he started bowling at age 16.  He bowls out of Enid, Ok.

Thanks,

Ah, how right you are.  My consistency was back Tuesday, at least for the most part.  I will see tonight.  I post back later.

Friday night went well, but not great.  I shot 625, and I think I have finally figured out this prodigy crap.  I can't do my normal adjustments on ten pin leaves.  Instead of alittle bit forward, back, left or right, I need to jump two boards right.  When I started doing that I strung a 6 bagger.  That maybe my longest string of the season, I am not sure.  Not a bad night overall, missed a couple of easy spares and played the lanes wrong the first game, but a 625 is a 625.  I will take it at this point!!!
