Post by: themagician on April 17, 2008, 04:37:10 PM: It may sound simple but It seems as if I just cannot stay focused long enough, i'd like to just improve that and my mental game in general, it is like i'm book smart to all of this bowling knowledge but putting it to use has been a weakness for me.

Post by: NOTHUMB on April 17, 2008, 10:58:55 PM: Be able to go dead straight up front. I can play 5 out to 2 and 18-15 and 12-10. But I just cant seem to go straight up the lane in the front. I always, always, always have at minimum of a couple boards I bounce the ball because of my NOTHUMB release, late timing and open armswing. It works for me, but on some of the tougher shots, straighter is definitely greater. Sometimes I can overpower it---sometimes I cant.

Post by: JessN16 on April 17, 2008, 11:07:07 PM: More knee bend. Both my knees are bad now from an old baseball injury and from carrying my fat butt around. I don't know how much I have now, but I sure don't get down as much as I used to.

Post by: williewc on April 18, 2008, 12:03:14 AM: more revs, which means a different release

i would also like to change my armswing, my arm isnt straight until my downswing, elbow bent up until then, i think that has alot to do with my release and so little revs, but oh well, i can usually find a line and do pretty good at the moment, but would probably help on tougher shots

Post by: Brandon Riley on April 18, 2008, 01:59:19 AM: every ball i throw is 2 boards right of target.
i think it is partially due to me being left eye dominant and partially due to sliding into my swing. I understand my flaw and work with it, but I know that at some point it will really hinder me.

Post by: dizzyfugu on April 18, 2008, 03:24:49 AM: Better/consistent legwork. I tend to "hobble" while walking down the approach - I am not sure if it affects my game negatively, but I think it is the result of timing problems, so I'd love to get everything into a more fluid motion.

What keeps you from changing something about your game?

Post by: tank38 on April 18, 2008, 01:54:31 PM: I have been fighting a bent arm swing for a good time now. I have tried many different things to correct it and I just can't seem to figure anything out. Someday maybe....
Title: Re: if you could change 1 thing about your game...
Post by: LuckyLefty on April 18, 2008, 01:54:57 PM: More powerful release....but when I get a more level release....out on the lane farther more consistently then it seems powerful enough!

Getting there some days...

Post by: DON DRAPER on April 19, 2008, 08:04:25 PM: there are times when it would be advantageous to be able to throw the ball harder with more revs. however, i'm afraid some other aspect of my game would suffer. oh well.
