Help!!
« on: August 14, 2005, 07:21:50 AM »
Ok here's the deal...For years I have been bowling poorly. I average 210+ but, I know that my game could get so much better. I chicken wing the ball a lot.I am out about 2 1/2 foot from my body.No one really wants to help me.They tell me yeah your arm blah blah.Ok finally talked to an awesome bowler.He told me that the reason I do this is because I hold onto the ball way to long and that it forces me to be away from the body.He said try to release it sooner.Welp I guess doing it for so long I can't seem to a)release it sooner and b)keep my arm closely to my body.I'd also assume that there is a major timing issue too.People are amazed that I average so well considering how much my style sucks.I know however that I can't get to the next level without fixing these problems.There are so many great bowlers that just laugh at my game and it is very frustrating. No one wants to help and I don't have the money for lessons.I am hoping that my fellow bowlers here can help me out.Yes I have tried the towel trick never works.Oh and I seem to force my swing a lot. I guess I need to loosen that too lol.I have been doing this forever so I know it'll take sometime to fix.I am open to all suggestions.Thanks ahead of time it means a lot.I want to bowl well it just kills me that I know I can but just don't know that I can.
