I meant like clearing the arrows lofting... I don't hafta practice that, but laying it down I have troubles with, thats why I was wondering about backing up on the approach.... would it make me lay it down sooner????

Try targeting close to the foul line.  You can move back, but you have to be careful to keep your approach the same. So if you move back a foot you need to finish your slide a foot further back than you normally do.  Some rush the line and end up in the same place.

WEll I am back from States, the last weekend. It was a good experience, I enjoyed the area and the people were nice.
Singles and Doubles:
This is a nice house, alittle loud and really big! The lanes were oily but nothing i would call impossible. I saw alot of people shaking there heads but they didnt change to the shot, they tried to throw the same as their house shot and it didnt work. I used my No Limit drilled #2(alot of hook but smooth reaction). Single i was slow starting but got it going in the 10th frame. Carried over to the second game and third. Shot 620 with a 170 game and a open inteh tenth in the last game. We moved and had alittle more space to throw on lanes, but mr ten pin killed me. 14 in the last 3 games picked up all but 2. It was me not the lanes.
Team:
Lanes were more jumpy on the backend, used the No Limit again. Shot ok 609, it was me having brain farts and not clipping the 10 pin enough. The house wasnt as bad as people said and the staff was nice.

Overall it was a fair tournament, just had to be accurate and consistent. I am looking forward to next year in Erie! Closer to home!
