Following with interest. I made a valiant attempt at getting ‘inside the ball’ last night - pointing my hand a bit away from me on the backswing - but this mainly resulted in me turning my wrist too soon at the bottom, and spinning my shots down the lane. I didn’t feel like I could genuinely avoid t...

Done!

Wow, I wish my bowling league was more like that lol

Just got my first videos of my shot, and I think I need some help with the pushaway. It looks really awkward, but I don't know how else to do it, and give myself enough time to get to the line...

I’ve done it myself. At 107, you’re probably looking at a very new league bowler, still figuring out his swing. Once he finds it, his average will rise quickly to match. Just part of learning the game, I guess. I hit 13 strikes in a row during practice, as a 120 average. All depends on when the cond...

I am enjoying this thread immensely.

Am I the only one that desperately wants to keep my ball polished, because it looks so much better? I've sanded and polished my Hy-road twice, and it looks terrible without the polish.

Probably different core shapes, and different cover stock formulas between the two manufacturers.

The past couple of tournaments have featured patterns that are favorable from outside of 5, a Hoagland signature. Yet, on the telecasts that avenue is abandoned regularly, I dont get it. Kulick is the most versatile, Johnson the least. Sometimes I wonder if playing super deep is worth the lack of c...

Some very informative answers thank you. But not exactly what i am after. To make it simple...the pin is at the top of the core, depending on the bowler, sometimes i see the pin almost on its side facing left (right handed), so the core is now laying sideways. I know it will be different because of...

Even if you got a coherent answer to this, would it matter? Lol

Probably the position it’s in during roll-out.

Relates to an odd issue I’m having with my non-slide sole.

I’m a pretty serious toe dragger, so I think I’ve been prolong the sole off near the toes. It’s no longer able to attach at all in that area. Is there anything I can do to “refresh” the Velcro?

Yeah, it was a bit confusing.

I do finish with my hand up and elbow bent, but I’m quite sure I don’t “hit up” on the ball.

Here ya go. image1.jpeg I'm really not sure what you guys are concerned about, but it's very comfortable, when I have my hand under it. My thumb is also a bit double-jointed, which makes it more flexible than most. image1(1).jpeg That said, I have no idea what a bowling grip is "supposed" to feel li...

Here ya go.

Not all that different, really. I probably have an easier time generating revs, though.

I resolved my issue with a new driller. He correctly identified that my span is considerably longer than usual, and lengthened it. (5.5”, if you’re wondering) I also used some sandpaper to carve out a more “oval” shape to the hole, allowing the sides of my thumb to clear. Then I added 4 pieces of ta...

Stand on middle dot, aim at gap between 2nd-3rd dot. Watch the ball curve out and back. Adjust 2 boards at a time.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant the dots 10 feet down the lane. . Not the ones at the foul line.

I like targeting them instead of arrows, because I find it easier to focus on something closer.

Well, as it turns out, the center I’ve been going to doesn’t oil at all until before leagues. I guess that explains a lot. Not much point in practicing there, even with the “free summer bowling” for league members. Very disappointing.

You found miss room when your angle increased. By halfway through the video, you’re projecting the ball out to the right, from oil to dry. That’s why it got easier. For me (and most strokers ) it’s best to start out standing in the middle, and shooting at second arrow. Then adjust as needed. Also, I...

It doesn't have to be 1/ it can be gutter ball spare (-/) So if you go: -/ -/ -/ -/ -/ -/ -/ -/ -/ -/- (100) is the lowest clean game you could get. If you strike or spare on your first ball of the tenth, it's a clean game the fill ball doesn't count using the classic definition of a clean game. A ...
