Forgot how to roll the ball.
« on: January 31, 2005, 06:12:15 AM »
Ever have a brain p00t during league or bowling for dollars where you couldn't figure out what was wrong and then after it was over, you remembered everything you did wrong?

I played in a no-tap tourney last night.  Played straight up the 2 board with my SlayR.

O.Op (pin is drilled thru)
 .
 .cg
 .
 O

The first 2 shots were dead flush.  Then my head started to hurt and I broke out in a cold sweat.  The 3rd shot my body wasn't cooperating at all.  I pulled every shot.    I wasn't feeling well from the beginning so I prolly shouldn't have bowled.  Suck when I can't even shoot a duece in 9-pin.

Does anyone have a little something they do each and everytime they roll the ball to remind themselves of what they need to do?

hey bomb its me again, maybe you were just worried about not hitting nine. when you make a bad shot if you know what you did wrong just fix it but if you keep throwing it bad and you dont think about it youll be be messed up for the rest of the games. just be relaxed and confident and just believe in what you can do. if it helps you can take a deep breath before you start your approach. also you can tell yourself make a godd shot here in your head and just do it.

Thanks.  I think it was because I wasn't feeling particularly well.  That afternoon I was at Dave & Busters playing that basketball shoot around game with my daughter.  I must have played about 20 games with her.  Then my wife ordered a Lava Flow and then remember she couldn't drink it, (personal trainer told her no alcohol).  So I downed it after a beer and a shot of Jose.    I shouldn't have bowled last night.  *blah*  

Ah well, since BrunsNick thinks he's all that with his videos, I will have to make a new one tomorrow night during $1 game night.
