    Damn straight!

    Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 01:03 PM [General]

    I went for a little practice today at lunchtime. I decided to put aside my tragi-comic attempts at developing a hook and just threw the ball straight while concentrating on getting my trail leg out of the way, keeping my hand under the ball and hitting my target. The result? I bowled my first 200!

    X  X  X  6/  7/  8-  6/  81  X  XX4 (Yes, I choked on that last shot  ).


    I know 200 isn't considered anything special these days, but... c'mon, I'm using plastic and a conventional grip

    Nice shooting Dave. Keep practicing, I'm sure there will be more of them to come!

    Like Scott said, nice shooting. The skills you mentioned are very important. I have been having problems with my spare shooting, and my biggest problem is my trail leg also.

    Get the spares, the strikes will come.

    Thanks, guys. I've been back to the lanes twice since then and haven't been able to break 150 either time :(

    Keep practicing, and it will improve. Remember, its practice and score doesn't matter. You might want to also check into getting a session with a certified coach.

    PS. Don't let the scores get you down. Everybody runs into slumps, and you just got to work your way through it.
