Is it possible to bowl bad on a wall?
« on: October 09, 2003, 07:33:14 AM »
I don't know, I must truly suck at this sport.  My Thursday league is pumping out more oil than Saudi Arabia can each year, from 10-10, with the outsides SCORCHED from sunburn.  The pattern was laid out for the REV CHALLENGED who couldn't handle the longer flatter oils.

I can do well on other shots, even bowl a tad under average, but this one shot in particular has drier heads, oil in the mid lanes, and fresh backends.  You can count on one thing though is that it's nearly impossible to put it in the channel if you have hand.  Just watch your ball go down the lane and make a three on its way to the pins.

When the oil carries down in the middle of the first game (normal?) it makes for a speed consistency nightmare, too fast you're leaving washouts, too slow you're chopping the beak.....or down right missing the headpin.

Tonight I used the XL and it worked well in getting to the pocket consistently, but the damn carry down brought my carry down.....as well as everyone else with hand.

Anyone out there know what to do when you stink and can't hit a wall because your natural release is still too strong for the shot?

No retarded comments.....if you want to be funny that's cool, as long as you got serious info to give me.  This condition is really bringing my self confidence to the toilet.

LOL Jeff,

Maybe I got spoiled during the spring and through the summer until now.  Entered a few local house tournaments here and there, bowled on some flatter oil patterns up until two weeks ago.  

I even found a way to bowl at least average on a reverse block, and I used to be completely lost on that condition.

It's funny how an "easy" shot such like that causes many bowlers problems.
