Title: Practice
Post by: Hannah G on April 20, 2008, 09:31:32 AM
So, I was wondering, how often does everyone practice?  Not including league nights.  Myself, I like to practice at least once or twice.

Thanks!!

Until school is out for the summer, I have to settle for practice on Saturday and Sunday.  Teaching in Middle School, we don't get out early enough for me to get to the center much before they shut down to oil for leagues.  Weekends are dependent on if there is something already happening on the weekends.

Once school is out, I try to get out and practice at least 3 - 4 days.  Each practice session is 4 - 8 games.

They oil the lanes BEFORE leagues at your house?  WOW what a concept.  Our lanes gets oiled oh about 9 am and we get whats left over. Our league starts at 7:30, they put 2 kids to open bowl on 1 of them at 7:00.  

As far as practice.  With 3 boys under 10, every chance I get.

LOL yes, they stop all open play at 5PM to oil the lanes. No open play until leagues are on the lanes and then only if there are lanes available, which isn't often.

Im so glad people are brainwashed to thinking that if they buy a new ball they will carry everything. And its even funnier when im carrying with my 15 year old ball and they're going flat ten.

I bowl league once, twice or three times a week (depending on what nights I sub) and practice Thursday nights at a house near me that lets women bowl free after 10 pm.  The lanes are garbage and it's good for me to bowl on something a little tougher.

once a week serious training... not fooling around and playing high scores... but trying to improve my game and learn advance techniques ... like hand adjustment or improve basics (which still are not 100% imho) etc.
Learning to adjust fast enough and make the right decision.

During league season don't practice at all. I don't get off in time. During the summer the kids bowl at an AMF house and get passes for three free games a day, so some days I take them some days I just practice by myself.

Usually it's been once in a while, but lately it's been three to four times a week because my game has tanked. The problem is that practice hasn't quite translated to league.

Unless you consider goofing off for a few games after league or pot bowling a bit after league, I never practice. Hopefully I'll be able to get in some serious practice over the summer in order to prepare for a potential regional or two.
