man i stink i mean i stink like a 3 day dead skunk and nothing i do works been bowling for about 6 years now and i am worse than when i started and i dont know why, its not my equipment all my balls do exactly the same thing hook tooooo much ,on any condition and i cant make the adjustments to utilize it i think its my ball speed more than anything ,but i cant seem to get more speed without sacrificing accuracy ,example today i shot abt ths nothing fancy ,2 squads , 127,239,119, and the second squad was worse dont even remmebr the scores ,but i have been in this boat for almost a year now i get a lucky game every once in awhile do i just quit or is there any hope . I am tired of looking like i have never picked up a ball every time i bowl sinking in quicksand can anyone help i mean seriously is there any help for me.

Bro, I am in the exact same boat here the last few weeks!!! I have went from shooting a 190 or so average to shooting 120-140 every game. I have been tempted to sell everything and give it up!!!! My ball is hooking like a mad man also and If I increase my speed, I cant hit the side of a mountian! I am wondering if its in my form or my footwork? I think I have picked up a really bad habbit or something! Or, recently I have been working on my release and I have devoloped alot of hand in the ball. I now need the footwork and finesse to go along with it I think!!! My physical game has been in need of work for a long time! I guess now I dont have a choice!

Hey, it might be slop but, it all looks the same on the scorecard!!!!!

Try getting a pro to look at your technique, ball drillings, and grip size.  About 2 months ago I had a 140 Ave and I was lucky if I shot over 170.  I went to a local pro. He changed the span on my ball and now my average is around 180 with a high game of 278.

if all else fails, just throw it.

Since you are bowling the ABT's, have Rick Wunder check things out for you.  He's at every ABT anyhow, should be able to give you some advice.

Rick is all over.  He helps Ed run the Chicago ABT.  Drop him a line using the message system on here.
