Ball Speed Increase in Practice Today
Posted: August 21st, 2013, 1:56 am
I was bowling today using a one-step drill at first, then i did a two step drill for the 1st game. After which i bowled a game (scores were on because i was paying by the game). I bowled a 248 game and i had slowed my first two steps of my approach way down. I moved up on the approach so as not to speed up my last 3 steps too much.
as i was finishing that game a friend walked in and said he noticed i was throwing it faster than i usually do. Well, i had to take out the stop watch and check it out. Sure enough i was at 2.4 seconds release to headpin. 17.4 mph i was ranging in from 16.5 to 17.4 mph consistently.
I did not expect this but i'm pleasantly surprised. I was using less effort and my speed was up. I dont know if the 1 step and 2 step drills had anything to do with it either.
anyone else experience this type of thing?
