Early timing / late timing
« on: January 16, 2020, 07:00:48 AM »
I need help !!!  When my timing is working I am unstoppable.  I honestly think I could average 230+ on a wall.  I have good lane play strategy and can play anywhere on the lane.   I go thru these spurts where EVERY shot i throw is a pull, so I tell myself my timing is early, so I make it later ... and everything is wide right.

As a 5 step approach bowler, with moderate hand and speed (400 RPM, @16.2 mph on good shots ..varies on how much hook, anything 17+ is usually bad ... spare shots on average are 21 mph and when timing is really on, I can hit 23.5 if I want) I do not slide much.  I grew up in the Mark Roth plant/rip era.

What is good timing?  I think maybe I am pulling down from the top of the swing ???  What are the typical culprits?  I have seen a coach a while back but got nothing out of it. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Steven,

Nice job on the 300!   All of us are different, but that's a visual that is easy for me with immediate results most of the time.  Keep rolling strikes.

It wasn't so much about the 300 game. It was more the measure of achieving a more consistent arm swing. Even when we know these things, bad habits can creep in without us being conscious of it. Thanks again for the advise which was a good reminder.

Im thinking if they dont post a video they aren't really looking for answers. Notice no one ever post videos of their problems in form or said ball reaction?  If only more people had access to a camera in todays times

I didn't think to post a video.  People on the site helped me .. I believe I have my answers .. it's when I start the ball into motion.
