Just curious about how many people actually bowl (not recreational bowling) but like in a league, know what you're talking about, tournament entering, bowler.
I guess like a simple Hello, if you would like to introduce yourself in this way, could be:
(ANSWER ALL THAT YOU WOULD LIKE)
Years Bowling Seriously: Ball's You Throw/Weight: Average: Highest Game: State: High School Bowling:
---EX: -----Years Bowling Seriously: 4 (Started 6th grade) -----Ball's You Throw/Weight: Pure Swing, Complete NV, White Dot(all 15lbs) -----Average: 186 (Ha Ha averaged 147 last year! Determination baby!) -----State: OHIO! -----Highest Game: 279 [9-][x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x][xxx] (Then threw a strike in the first frame of second game for 12 X's in a row. -----High School Bowling: Yes, did not get choosen for Varsity or JV freshman year, then started as a varsity bowler sophomore year. ________________________________________________
So yeah that's just an idea to get a convo started hopefully... It's not something you HAVE TO FILL OUT, and you dont HAVE TO be like a dedicated bowler to want to talk about it, like if you're just interested in bowling in the future maybe someone or I can answer a question you may have!
You use a house ball? bc 160 avg with a house ball is amazing lol, i'm assuming you dont use a house ball, that you probably have like a semi-cheapish bowling ball
haha nice...Me and my family bowl 3 nights a week, or well i bowl 3 nights a week they bowl maybe 2 times then come and watch me...so we are like family there haha, its pretty fun though... But like this is my first year ever bowling like competitively like in tournaments (Outside of the high school season), and the pressure, honestly is a lot. Don't ask me how i even got to that, its 2 am, and i'm exhausted + school at 6, then bowling at 4pm >_< lol, as much as i dont know about bowling i sure bowl a lot, i mean i know a lot but like i'm not SERIOUSLY into it as some people are, like looking up new bowling balls online before they even come out, yeah thats not me.....
what color is it? If its like a red and black color its the Black Widow if its like a black and orange kindve looking its the Venom black and blue its the sting
thats a good ball my friend has it...the jigsaw corner is a great ball as well...and the mission is like the answer to everyone's prayer haha, amazing ball...
i'm not 100% sure what you're getting at but i can assume what you're saying...in my stance i have my arm at about a 90* angle ... i used to have it higher, and closer to my chest to increase my ball speed, but i have grown out of that.
I used to have A LOT of problems Ha Ha
I used to like "hop" in the middle of my approach (that was first to go) Then I had timing issues, which i fixed by moving a little bit closer Then my back swing was to high, but they fixed that bc i was using 3 different weight balls, a 15, a 14, and a 13 lb ball...haha so that lowered my back swing when i switched to all 15 lb balls, but now my arm is stronger and more used to it so my old stance had to change...ugh its a lot haha, i'm tiny, but I might switch to 16 lb >_< probably not, but that is definitely a possibility if i cant fix this before October and tryouts being in november...
How do you hold the ball? Toward your chest and higher up or like, toward your chest but with your arm lowered, or (ha ha) like me a bit 90* angle, elbow tucked into your side?
i mean when you hold the ball. do you curl it into youre forearm or jsut hold it reguler.
when i swing my arm i bring it super high. about back to my head. fortunatly for me though ive been able to be fairley consistant with my bowl. i use a 15 pounder and i just have problems with hitting my arrow
i knew what you meant :P... there usually is a lot of problems if your back swing is that high...
for one, and you're familiar with this, it throws you off making it hard to hit your mark
second, you may be twisting your wrist awkwardly (idk how to explain it without visuals haha) but like it will cause a bad release of the ball and can cause you to either 1) drop it...2)throw it straight, which if you aren't getting much hook lowering your back swing would help increase it...
i have a friend who has a really high back swing as well...and he wonders all the time why he isn't as good as he could be...
