Post here what aspects of your game you are going to work on to improve your game, along with any questions you may have to help you improve your game for next year.

I'm going to work on striking a lot on the PBA shots

Realistically, I'm good with major adjustments by now. I am going to work on really getting my speed and axis rotation tweaks down. Also, I am going to work on making good decisions. House shots are simple - move left, maybe a ball change. These shots, I need to learn when to move, when to change balls, when to tweak release.

Also, to respond the question posed in the title, which is a bit more open ended, I will be working on my advanced shot tracking software, which is what I used for the screenshots in the other thread. Hopefully it will be ready for the big-time by the start of Fall leagues, if not before.

Referring back to the other thread, I forgot to ask you if you had tried increasing the speed to allow the ball to hold pocket better, or did you just make the equipment and line adjustments mentioned?

Do you think you could incorporate the stats I was keeping Track of into your new software? If so i will be your first customer.

By the way you seem to be well on your way to achieving your goal of throwing lots of strikes on PBA patterns, keep up the good work.

as i've only been bowling for a short time [jan of '07], and switched to trying to throw a hook ball at mid season of the fall/winter league this year, i plan to work on my focus/ hitting my target. i feel my approach is pretty consistant, and my timing is decent. what kills me is lack of focus, if i keep my head down and follow thru, it's right there, but i tend to want to peek before i see the ball roll over my intended target, and i end up shanking it.

I definitely picked up my speed when I switched the VP2, though I wasn't really thinking about it on each shot. And yes, I plan to make those kinds of stats available.

This summer going to be meeting with a coach to help my game. I also try to practice a lot more.

Things i be working one:
Being more consitent with picking up my spares. I want to increase my spare percentage pick up ratio to about 90-95% right now i think its about 75%

Try to be more consistent from game to game - week to week - day to day. I can go from shooting 650 to shooting under 500. I need to learn to be more conistent.

Learn making better adjustments. This year did learn to play various lines. I want to fine tune that and also learn differnt axis roation and speed adjustments.

Develop more fluid approach. Getting rid of some bad habits like bending over at waist too much and get my timming better.

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 prior year to gain consistency was lost.

I took lessons, and practiced frequently, but it still took 5 months to eliminate the problems. I was a good 20 pins under last year's ending average after New Years. Then, things started to straighten out, making up 10 of the 20 pin deficit, by year end.

My goals over the Summer are to regain the consistency I had a year ago, and retrain myself to eliminate the problems of last Summer. I intend to start the Fall season where I left off a year ago, and improve upon that.

I want to start the Fall back at 200+ and grow from there.

First things first, I have to get my equipment re-fitted since the spans on everything is long, and more than likely go with forward pitch in the thumb as I think I'm sitting at 0 or maybe 1/4 reverse. I'll probably to a Pro Shop tomorrow, last I heard this one was open on Sundays especially considering the AMF Doubles Tour is there this weekend, and talk with them to see what the cost would be and what they think needs to be done. I might drop a few of the balls off I don't really use so they can get started. Hopefully they don't charge too much as I know the place can be a little pricey. This will go a long way to freeing my armswing up since its pretty free most of the time with the bad fit.

After that its shortening up my approach. As its been stated on another thread from a few months ago, I only take 4 steps from the back set of dots. After taking a quick video or two on my phone the other day I noticed my last two steps are very rushed, I guess to cover whats left of the lane which has to be around 7-8 feet. I'd like to be at least dead in the middle of the sets of dots. Starting from the foul line walking towards the dots with a normal pace and stride I end up just in front of the front dots so I need a little more for the slide. Hopefully I'll be able to get a coach to accelerate that and I need to learn how to adjust speed.

I plan to really focus on solidifying my spare game and working on my footwork to reduce my degree of drift on the approach. I also plan to play at different houses, especially ones that put out more difficult oil patterns. I'd like to participate in training camps or seminars but I just haven't gotten my act together to do that yet.
