a little figjam
« on: February 06, 2009, 09:29:42 PM »
ive been struggling with a lot of things (mostly timing).

I had pitches changed and moved to no grips but just found my ball laboring and less revs.

I just kept practicing and practicing till it hit me how to fix my timing.
I was bowling in the 400 to low 500 series!!! it was really bad and frustrating.

so last night i pull out the blurple (800 grit polished and lightly scuffed with 4000 abralon) which is all i have redrilled anyway and FINALLY shot 691!

227 - 273 - 191

i blew that last game in the 8th and 9th i just executed poorly and a split followed by chucking the ball in the channel because my dumb arse almost tripped over my own foot HAHA! and it was just an 8 pin left standing! "there goes my 700!"

just wanted to say im still bowling well with my visionary stuff I just need different drillings... stupid old drilled put the pin in almost the same spot on all my balls so they all handle the same conditions, I guess its ogre pearl for a while then!

Nice way to break out of your slump.  Hopefully this is the start of a good streak for you.  

If your driller is not sure of how to drill your Visionary balls, you can always call up Visionary and talk to someone there about layouts for you and the conditions you face.

How did you shoot the 273 if you don't mind me asking?

ummm i forget exactly started 9/ x x x x x x x then ?

all i remember was getting 7 in a row then i just stopped thinking about my score.


BTW I no longer use that driller, he just never listened. he did call up visionary but this guy just drills everything for max hook, stacked, 4" to pap, etc... thats great but not on ALL of my equipment.

I have so many balls and no use for them they are all the same.

it was a big way to pull out of a slump and i hope i can keep it there... it was so effortless.
