I've seen plenty of females like the second you describe, Dennis. Until they turn around though, they don't know if they need a second shot or not. They tend to loft the ball and throw the ball with the backside of the hand facing forward and up.

I will practice on Sundays. The House I bowled at gave me some free game certificates, and I intend to use them. I must have 30 free games. I will focus on keeping my body mechanically doing the right thing to regain my consistency. I am also tak

I had a let down type of year. I developed some bad habits from the PBA league from last summer. Timing was off. Pulled my hand behind my back. Roundhouse the ball, and frequently pulled across. I was a mess. All the work I put into my game the

I occasionally subbed on a social league of Fri Nite. There are 2 women that have unusual approaches. The first rolls the slowest ball of any adult I have seen. Her ball has been clocked under 6 mph at the pin deck. The ball takes forever to hit

Thanks Jim. Yesterday afternoon I was helping a friend/teammate try to figure out a few things he has been doing wrong and I guess some of it carried over. Now if he could just get his video camera to communicate with a computer I could make a video

there's a guy on our fall/winter leauge that i started calling trainwreck due to his approach/finish. 4 normal steps, pretty much no slide, release ball, flail arms, fall off balance, crouch, then make a praying like motion. after about 1/2 a season,

Good reply Cal, you are developing a good coaching eye. I agree with everything Cal said, you are muscling the swing and trying to hook the ball too much. If you stop trying to hook the ball and just relax and let the ball swing your arm the ball wi

The cheetah has the heaviest concentration of oil of all of the patterns, the others may have longer patterns, but the cheetah uses the most oil, but it only goes 35ft. Many of the non PBA events like experience leagues try to get away with putting l

The length of the pattern is across the whole lane. As for the Cheetah, you are either misinformed or you are not bowling on the Cheetah. The Cheetah is drier out side of the 5 board, it is considered the Pro's version of adult bumper bowling aka the

These look like standard starter patterns for bowlers who don't know their break point. They look to be between 4 1/2 to 3 3/8 from your possible pap with the cg in the palm so they don't require a weight hole to make them legal. The best way to find

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

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
