Small moves
« on: March 17, 2014, 08:48:49 PM »
I know I'm possibly opening a big LH/RH whine-a-thon, but I'm curious.

Do any of you make small (old school) moves to help get the corners out? 

2 out of the last 3 sets I've had small transitions where I'm moving 1 and 1 or even just 1 with my feet to help get the corners out.  I've gotten in trouble with ball changes a couple of times when just a small move did the trick.

Anybody else still flashing back to the 80's like I am?

215 on today's conditions for the most isn't anything to brag about...I averaged almost 220 my last year of juniors which was 81 or 82...

I'm always funny...

Brad nothing personal but there are a lot of good bowlers on the Internet and you can NOT base individual situations as gospel...each individual situation is that nothing else...so get off your glorified high horse...
I haven't bowled in over 10 yrs but my 25 yrs as a competitor on every level was pretty good and much of what or how I did things I do NOT teach and I've been a pretty decent instructor for more than a few years...closer to 20-25 yrs
You have to understand what is relevant and what isn't in today's game...there are many other vital components of the swing that is important than how close you start to the foul line...plain & simple

But that also doesn't give any of them the right to judge me or my game because of something they do or do not believe. As I mentioned at least three times in this thread, YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY. But I have not once berated or judged anyone else's physical or mental game here. I would hope that the same respect could be given in return, but As with a lot of other people, I am proven wrong.

215 and it looks like we hit a nerve about the towel.  Just what I would expect. 

Hardly. I'm not the type of person who has spent 37 of my 40 years of life working hard on something to have someone who doesn't know me or my game dictate what type of bowler I am.

For the last 7 years the only time I've put bowling shoes on is to test balls.  But, I guarantee that you and your 215 average don't want any part of taking me to the lanes. 

I welcome the challenge, because I am not afraid of losing. Only inspires me to get better. So yes. I do.

So you were working hard at the game at age 3?  Give me a break.

And if you have been working hard on your bowling for 37 years and have only gotten to 215 I want to clue you in on something, your not going to get any better.

and with that, I know that I am better than you. No matter what you say or do, I'll always win. So keep believing what you want, because all you can ever do is try to prop yourself up to look better by dumping on others. You'll just serve to remind everyone else how sad and pathetic a life like that is, and that you can't, won't, nor don't know how to make it better.

I'm bowing out of this, because you don't deserve my time now. Keep on trying to prop yourself up at the expense of others; it may be the only thing you will ever be good at.

You may think he's propping himself up at the expense of others...but you continue to spew who you bowled against 25 yrs ago or what you did in college or blah blah blah...you posts are either condescending or you telling others how good you think you are or were...who cares in the big scheme of things...you are trying to big a fish in a pond...nothing more nothing less...

Brad,

I mentioned nothing of my game until you and your 215 average called me out.  So that's a long way from propping myself up at the expense of others.  That's just clarifying for you that you will be beaten like a drum if you would choose to bowl against me.

I'm flabbergasted that averaging 215 on house is something to boast about. Furthermore, I highly doubt you're carrying corners consistently averaging 215.

Why do so many bowling topics turn into personal attacks?  Can't we keep that stuff in the Misc Non-Bowling forum?  It's okay to disagree with others, we all don't see everything the same, but it would be nice to keep the personal stuff out.

I like to see others' opinions on bowling related topics, even if it won't work for me, just to broaden my knowledge.  A lot of things that I learned in the '60's or 70's are being contradicted now by instructors probably because the bowling balls and the lane surfaces have evolved, so seeing these topics are a help.

And the OP did ask for 'old school' moves.

Oh, and a 215 at one house may be a 205 at another and still yet a 230 at another.  We don't all bowl on the same conditions.  Compare a sport average to a THS average.
