I have to give thanks to Desertdog. While talking with him, I have realized that I have been bowling poorly, especially, when I try to move left and play an inside line. On Father's day, I took some vids bowling, and posted a couple in the
chatroom. Lefty and cgeorg identified some problems and made some recommendations. Well, watching my vids and DD's also, I can see my early turn, know when it happens, and control it.
I have been practicing on PBA pattterns, and trying to control my arm swing to let it swing straight and freely. Well, last night, it was the Shark pattern. A year ago, it ate me up. Last night, I averaged 196 for 6 games, which was a huge improvement.
But, the important thing was a bowler I don't know came up to me in the fourth game and asked, "what did you do?" "I saw you 5 weeks ago, and you are a different bowler tonight." "You are so smooth and the ball comes out effortlessly."
I have to say, talking with DD has helped me to improve. So, I thank him.
