Was I Wrong
« on: December 27, 2006, 01:56:03 PM »
Ok, My oldest son struggled with speed for the last year or so (12-13mph). Suddenly over the last month he has found all kinds of speed and loft, but has no control. I was working with him and only getting argued with. No matter what I said he was doing, he would say he is not doing it. Back and forth we went about everything. Most of the time, it was the ball. He was throwing an Absolute Inferno at the time, so I made a decision. Buy him a new ball to prove it was him and not the ball.

We bought him a BVP MAMMOTH for Christmas. We went bowling and it was the same thing, 18mph, missing mark, lofting to the arrows, ect... Talking with him, his tumb was sticking and anything else he could think about that would dicount it was him.

Basically I did this to prove that it was him, but was I wrong in doing this?

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 22 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND CRUSH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING!!!

I thank you all for your replies and advice.

I do credit him for when he does things correct. I am not one of those parents that just come down on him for the bad things that he does. He has a coach, but has shut her out as well. While he is working with her, he does those things correctly. I listen to her, see what she is doing with him and then try to make sure he is still doing those things that she is trying to get him to work on. I am not trying to go against anything that she has said, but when we bowl, he does not do anything that she has taught him.

Frustrating indeed...
