Look at it this way, every new frame is a chance for redemption.
I've always bowled under the mentality of not looking at my scores. It's amazing how much better you'll bowl, you have more time to focus your attention on your next shot, and pick yourself back up. Plus nerves never will kick in, cause all your thinking is: try my best to strike on this shot, and if i don't try my best to convert that leave. You'll always keep an open mindset and it blocks out distractions. I know some bowlers that flat out get caught up in the moment when they know they are doing really well, and end up taking a huge cr^p. I try to erase every previous frame from my mind, so i can have a fresh start on each shot. This may take some time to master, but once you do, the skys the limit
