vids of me...bash away
« on: February 03, 2010, 10:59:23 PM »
here's a couple clips if me, one playing right on the fresh, another turning it more from inside. id like to hear some thoughts on how it looks, what i might need to work on. just be gentile in the bashing, please! im in a slump and im just not carrying like i was in the earlier part of the season. btw, sorry for the choppy video it was taken on my phone, ill try to get some better video up this weekend, i just did these to give you guys a starting point. what other angles would you need, just let me know.

 here is vid 1 playing right:http://s826.photobucket.com/albums/zz189/stopncrank/Mobile%20Uploads/?action=view¤t=video-2010-02-03-18-44-04.flv

Can't tell much from the video as stated above. However, are you sure YOUR the problem. There are MANY factors that can affect carry. Has your center changed oiling practices? Have you changed equipment? Are you located in a cold region of the country? Temperature change can make pins react different. Just some things to consider before you make game changes that may work against you in the long run.

coasterp, im not really sure. i'd say its been colder here lately, i live in north carolina, not like michigan or anything.

 as for oiling, thats a different subject, we never really know what we are getting pattern wise except theres no free hook at the gutter, which is why i normally play the middle like i am in the second video. i could go to a center in a different city thats only 20 minutes away, where people add 20 pins to their average but really what good would that do me? i'll try to get some better video this weekend though.

It looks like you hit up more on the ball than I remember.  If you're free Saturday or next weekend, send me a message and I can take a look in person.

Hitting up or lofting the ball should be done ONLY when the heads are dried out. Relax your hand at release and roll the ball. The ball will roll better and store the energy until the ball reaches the pins which will result in better carry.
