During leagues I find that at times I try to do what other bowlers who are having more success than me at the time do and try to take some of that and apply it to what I am doing. But I think that it is hindering me because it's not allowing me to focus on my game and applying it to shoot better that night. Am I the only person who does that because I feel like it's in my head a lot.

Lol I haven't been BrunsRico in over 6 yrs but thanks

Crap, forgot..  lol..  haven't been around the boards a lot...  It was a great read, in the process of reading it again..  Last time I read it had a great stretch of tournaments and finally had my head level for once through an event..  My biggest downfall is my mental game..

I read the book twice as soon as I got it. Back to back in the same day to pickup on things missed and mark things to work on. So much of it is very relate able to things you may or may not being doing or have done before.

I have made the mistake before of getting out of my norm when bowling against some higher rev plays before and wanting to get in and hook the ball ect. Didn't go well and after one game moved back outside where my zone was and crushed it. There is a difference in making adjustments based on your reaction and others versus trying to do something just because.

I try to be more observant then I used to be. Paying attention to others bowling, where they are bowling, what ball they are using, and if it may start to affect my shot what adjustments I need to make. Planning ahead and adjusting appropriately versus a knee jerk reaction to a bad shot.
