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

Approach: There was this one guy YEARS ago when I was just recreational bowling. He would take FOR EVER! Once he started it was like he was sneaking up on the pins on his tippy toes. It broke into a slow waltz-like dance with pauses and exaggerated m

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

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

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

I did some practice today as well. Most of it was just a free armswing and trying to move up on the approach since I start at the back dots and only take 4 steps. I actually took a few video shots on my phone and noticed I rush the last two steps to

Reconbbs, That's not bad shooting at all for not knowing what you're doing. Good job. I guess it's a matter of trying my equipment on each pattern because each ball usually rolls differently for each bowler. I just figured someone could give a g

Wow, very good job! I'm still pretty green at throwing a hook, as I've been doing it for about 16 months now, hopefully I'll start to see much better results in the future, granted I don't lose what I've learned for the absence I'm forced to take.

Bowling with a ball on lane conditions that aren't suited for the ball will not tell you much, post again after trying them on the line I described in the reply i sent.

We have Pepsi in SC but it's been so long since I bowled in them that I don't really remember the format. I place 13th my last year against crazy competition so I was happy with myself.

The biggest reasons I would choose not to bowl at certain centers are either bad customer service and very terrible maintenance. Thats not too much to ask for is it? It can have a tougher shot, some older equipment, but at least try to have some you

Dennis....the main problem that beginner to intermediate bowlers have to fight is that they do not KNOW what a proper fit feels like. They cannot give back constructive feedback to the driller when asked questions. The driller has to be able to spe

If you join a sanctioned USBC league then there is a fee that is extra, and rules to basically govern the leagues as well as some insurance against your league's prize fund. Beware.....if you quit, you are liable to give written two week notice.

If you have an old couch or chair you might practice tossing the ball into the chair while attempting to put right-to-left revs on the ball. If you don't have colored inserts put a piece of tape on your ball track to see in which direction the ball i

Rolling over a mark that you know won't strike, with a strike ball and release, might be a good way to practice as well. Since you are not trying to strike, you should take some pressure off yourself. You can still work on accuracy, having a good c
