What do you feel is your personal best attribute...
« on: November 11, 2004, 04:28:42 AM »
On the lanes.

I just thought it might be nice to see what people think they do the best.  I think mine is I love to watch bowling, I go to the house to just sit and watch.  Elite bowlers, fluffers, newbies, everyone.  I watch what their ball does and try to break down what happened and why.  I feel during leagues, because I watch pretty much every shot on the lanes I can identify when the lanes are breaking down and it's time to move, before the dreaded nose dive occurs.  Whether or not I listen to myself is another story, but I usually have a good idea why the ball didn't carry, what I need to do to adjust and also what I need to make sure to stay away from

Mental game

I love my mental game.  Which is why I guess I love being anchor.  It's a lot of fun.  Strike in the 10th?  Woot, no problemo.

My constant drive to get better. I don't think there are many people who have the will and drive to succeed at this game that I do.

My best attribute is my desire and will to improve and help others improve based on what I can tell them. I am getting pretty good at this game but unless you average 300, there is always room for improvement.

I am constantly seeking more knowledge and techniques and lane play and etc.....

You get the picture, I love to learn and will do anything to improve my game!!

I would say my zest for learning more about the game, applying to what I can do and also helping others with their game. That's why I have the desire to get the training necessary to be a youth and adult bowling coach.

My knowledge of the game.
This is both a good and a bad thing.
the good:it makes me versatile, helps me help others (adjustments, drillings, ball selections).
the bad: I think too much and make to many small adjustments when carry isn't what I think it should be, it makes me a "Jack" of many releases but a "Master" of none.

I guess versatility.  I can play in front of the ball return, firing the right edge, and anywhere in between.

The bad thing is, I don't seem to excel at any one thing anymore........

BTW, I shot a whooping 514 tonight.  I was really on my game


OH you should be SO proud. Your best attribute is that you are a CHEATER.

Be glad you don't live in my area. Last guy that got caught bagging got his fingers broke and every cheater gets caught eventually.

My intensity and my desire to beat everyone I bowl by at least 50 pins.

I thought all you had to do was stand left and throw it right??

To tell you the truth, I dont think I really have any good attributes on the lanes. I get mad when I bowl bad, I have no mental game, Im not consistent. Ask andy, I dont have many good attributes on the lanes, except maybe the fact I'm always trying to learn something new to try and get better. I also love to watch leagues bowl, and my GF always gets so bored. I dont know if thats really an attribute, more or less just something I like to do.

Some folks say that I'm egotistical,
Hell I don't even know what that means,
But I guess it's got something
    to do with the way,
That I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans......

I think my best attribute is my attitude, and that I try to cheer on both teammates and opponents.  When you get right down to it, we're all a bunch of grownups throwing rocks at sticks.  There are more important things in life, so just go out, bowl and HAVE FUN DOING IT!
