Switching hands due to injury
« on: October 02, 2016, 11:18:15 PM »
I recently have to change hands recently. It's been two weeks now i have been bowling.  First time bowled with a friend and shot 130 and above highest is 167.  For those of you had switch hands due to injury how long will it take to score in the 180s and above? Shot less a 100 like 3 times in the 90s.

I haven't made the switch to left handed permanently, I started to work on it over the summer.  I noticed some aches and pains that are starting to linger more and more, so I figured it was best that I start working on bowling left handed and avoid having to make the switch cold turkey.

I averaged about 150-160 and that was bowling once a week, for a couple of months.  My guess is that it will take you a good chunk of a season to average 180+.  It might take you less or more time depending on how much you practice, take any lessons, and how quickly your muscle memory kicks in.

Hope this helps, good luck.
