Refit - Thanks (r)eVolve
« on: January 10, 2015, 05:37:24 PM »
To start off, I already had a pretty good fit, I feel like fit is something I understand well.  (r)eVolve from Rico and Gary Yamasaki got really deep into fit, and put some things in ways that tweaked my thinking a bit and mostly gave me a lot more information than I previously had.  I refit myself and as comfortable as it was before, now it feels unnaturally good.  Here is my before and after:

Previous:
4 5/16 x 4 3/8, MF - 3/8 rev, 1/8 left, RF - 3/8 rev, 5/8 right, thumb 0 any direction

New: 4 1/4 x 4 5/16, MF 5/8 rev, 3/8 left, RF - 5/8 rev, 3/8 right, thumb 1/8 fwd, 1/16 left. 

Now my hand sits on the ball even better, it's in a lot better position.  Extremely comfortable.  Like Rico has said to me, feel is everything.

It's funny how you're an experienced pro shop operator/driller and you still feel as if you can learn...not too many like you

You know what's funny about that? The best pro shop experiences I've ever had have mostly been with 2 operators who both feel there is always room to learn and grow

My favorite bit of information was when learning car audio installation. The instructor said it's not about knowing all of the answers, it's about knowing who or where to find the answers. I think of it when dealing with so many things.

The book has been a great resource for fitting that is extremely helpful and always great to go back to.

Is there the non-proshop, for personal interest/reading version?

It is actually designed for the experienced as well as the less than experienced with the intent if a 'bowler' wanted to educate themselves as well as the pro shop operator

As someone with no experience fitting someone for a bowling ball I found it very easy to follow along with and literally use as a step by step guide. Great pictures as well to help show what you want vs not want.

What is great about (r)eVolve and Head Games is that they're both written so well.  I'm a writer, so maybe it appeals more to me or is more noticeable, but none of it is pretentious, and they use as few technical terms as possible, while the ones they do have to use are explained really well.  I'm also a big concept guy, I feel like if someone can understand a concept or the fundamentals of how something functions, they can just about teach themselves, and that's what this offers.  Plus there aren't fancy new complicated methods or anything, it's more or less, "here's the information, utilize it in your own way."  It's also incredibly rich, there's zero fluff or filler. 

The more I learn, the dumber I feel . . but I find it's important to not get too caught up in what you already know because it can start to make you closeminded and complacent.

What does r evolve cover?  Looking on the site, but didn't find much.  Assume it is beyond fitting to include other aspects of proshop?

It's 2-sided one side is fitting and the second side is ball motion/fitting with a dvd library of Rev rates and the School of Knowledge power point presentation
It offers many examples of fitting and layouts
We are updating the website so apologies

Email me at HYBowlingConcepts@yahoo.com with anymore questions and thanks!
