Actually, the difference was even bigger than you think. Our league and the league that he bowled better in were both at the same house. The only difference was the other league was 2nd shift while ours was 1st shift. I've bowled at both times and the shot is not that much different from shift to shift.

For them, if they weren't striking, they weren't making spares, either. That just shows you their true colors.


I agree. Last night my higher game of 145 was mostly from spare pickups. My average dropped a bit as the lane was do dry, and had trouble of throwing my ball to break off the 5th.

To the OP, while I cant do it very well myself yet, having a relaxed arm swing is greatness.

I'm really enjoying the free swing, I'm hitting my targets all of a sudden, and not falling off balance.

It's going to take me a bit to figure out my new lines. I'm getting a lot more speed on the ball, which gives me a different backend reaction than I'm used to. Either that or I need to work on getting more revs on the ball.

If you do have a true free armswing, just lower the ball in the stance about 4-6 inches and move up on the approach the same amount and the ball speed will be slower as well as keep you in time. The same thing with needing more speed, raise the ball up in the stance and move back on the approach the same amount.
