Music while practicing
« on: May 30, 2007, 03:10:10 PM »
What kind of music do you listen to when you practice? I like to listen to anything that gets me pumped and ready. What songs do you guys listen to?

I ALWAYS have my mp3 player on while bowling..it really keeps me from getting to up-tight and when I do that I cant bowl so when I'm loose I'll always bowl better.


I bowl to almost everything:

classic rock,
rock/pop,
alternative,
hiphop,
rap,
electronica <<<awesome stuff, my new fav
indie rock <<<awesome stuff, my also new fav

Back in the 70's when I was building my game, there was a juke box - 3 songs for a quarter.  I'm sure the desk man tired of hearing this one song way too much.  But, it had that perfect metronome beat for bowling; I can still hear it today when I summon it during practice.

"Some Kind of Wonderful" by Grand Funk Railroad.

At a tourament this year, my brother did an experiment and listened to his Nano durring his last event.  He had been shooting alright, just wasn't able to put up any decent #'s consistantly.  He was shooting singles, so it wasn't going to affect anybody else if it completly failed.  He ended up shooting his best of the event-970 or so with handicap for 4 games.  I'm not entirely sure what he was listening to, but I believe it was mainly rock with some rap in there-stuff that got his blood pumping.

I think for him, it kept him from over-analyzing what he was doing and what was happening-kept his brain from getting in the way.

bowling center puts up so loud music... using a ipod/mp3-player then would only mess up both the music from the player and the center's music and then you can bet I can't bowl...

Anything louder than the center's piped music, which usually has Fifty Cent or some other crap pouring out of the speakers.

I don't wear mine during practice because it didn't do anything. I have at times worn it when I wasn't on the approach between frames basicalyl because I didn't want to talk a lot or hear banal and empty conversations. Musically, I skip around to more rock/metal and a few rap "songs".

I listen to the music of kids running around unsupervised and people falling over while bowling.
