In all honesty, I don't think there's anyone that doesn't struggle on these patterns in the Experience Leagues. It's just that everyone is different about how much they struggle. I can't say for sure, but I think it's a tie between the Shark and

The two balls I currently have are the "Storm Hot Rod Super Sport"(Black) and the "Columbia 300 Scout Ractive". I do already know that the balls are similar. But I do have a few questions. I have a few question: 1. What kind

The season ended and we got our money on Wednesday. Our team didn't do too well. We finished in 11th place the first half and next to last the second half. The second half, my buddy left the team and we had a sub. The problem wasn't the sub, it was t

Yeah at least the Pistons and Wings put together contenders year after year. Its I think 6 straight Eastern Conference Finals for the Pistons. The Tigers, what a disappointment so far. Maybe, hopefully they are just trying to make things interesting.

a light 4 pin would occur if you came in light enough that the headpin just brushed the front of the 2 pin, sending the 2 pin back. The headpin would then bounce off of the sidewall back in front of the 4, or into the 7. It's like a "wall shot

A light 4 pin can mean several things. You could be playing too far in the oil, not getting the ball out to the right board at the breakpoint, throwing it too fast, playing too deep to begin with, encountering carrydown, not using the correct ball fo

Ahh, But we do have the Red Wings, and the Pistons in the NBA and NHL playoffs. If the Wings dispose of Dallas tomorrow,they would play for the Stanley Cup. The Pistons are waiting to face the Celtics or the Cavaliers in the eastern conf. finals. As

What does a light 4-pin tell you? I have been getting those lately and trying to understand what it means when my balls are hitting light.

To my untrained eyes it looks like you could be muscling the ball. You cut off the follow through which comes across your body on several shots which could mean you are trying too hard to hook the ball. You could also benefit from slowing your approa

High school teams? How about some Pop Warner teams or maybe Powder Puff teams? LOL. Last season in training camp the players did complain about doing contact drills earlier than the collective bargaining agreement allowed. As for Kitna guaranteeing 1

I've seen some tall bowlers with that high backswing, but very smooth and fluid release close to the lane. There is another guy I've watched bowl and his approach isn't that unusual just his finish. After he releases the ball he looks like he is fal

Smoother lanes with the length and volume of the Shark, ouch. At least you know it will be the Shark this week and can bring a few more higher friction balls.

I like the scoring presentation as well. Concerning the 2-4-10 split where you get the 4-10, I thought I was the only one that did stuff like that. I mean missing the leading pin, but getting the others. Here I thought I was special like that, lol.

That sounds like a pretty good second season back Brandon. I know how you feel on the spares percentage. I wish it was more like two opens a game. But there are times spares are at a premium and I know how to convert them its just executing it correc

We have one fellow who is 6'7 and his backswing is almost vertical. He comes within inches of the overhead monitors. In reality, he is in front of them. But, from the rear, it looks like he could hit it. On the release, he has a 20 foot loft, and

CG, your scoring layout is really informative. Great job. Now, can't you calculate CoachJim's data from your input? You may have a salable product there. I'd love to get that as a printout after each night.
