Your goals for the year?
« on: January 11, 2004, 04:16:40 AM »
Well for me, im starting to travel around australia again bowling seriously, so i wouldnt mind making MOST of the cuts, and a couple of top 3 finishes would be good. Bowling 1 league, at a moderatly difficult center, i aim to average at least 205, and win the league with my doubles partner.

What about everyone else?

good luck and high scoring

Goals

1)Mental Stability - hold confidence in what you know. Make highs and lows blend better for greater consistency.
2)Release- work on stopping early hand turn which is throwing off the timing
3)Attack- be more agressive in shotmaking and don't aim the ball in high tension situations
4)Bowl more

Score: Let them fall as they may, do my best.

1. Hire a coach.
2. Start 4-ball arsenal (keep existing ball, get a spare ball, and 2 others)
3. practice more
4. join a league

1 - Increase revs.  (at a good speed, I found out that I AM revolutionarily challenged, contrary to what I thought before getting a coach.)
2 - Get a knee bend,yep I stand on em.
3 - learn to use almost no muscle (probably my biggest problem.)
4 - learn to hit both marks on the same throw consistently.

I would really like to shoot consistantly well for a night or two.  Something in the upper to high 700's would be great.  I've shot 3 300's and my high series with them is 735.  I really would like to put 3 solid games together just once.

I've had the same goal since I started.

Be the next guy to shoot 900.
Two 300's in a row is a minimum.

REgards,

PS Don't have a 300 yet!
PPS Win another big money tournament, why just win the small stuff!
PPPS The goal of 900 is a bad one to have.  As soon as I fire a 9 I'm bored, have to wait for another night to do try again.
It takes Courage to have Faith, and Faith to have Courage.

1. Continue to average 190 or better in all leagues.
2. Improve spare shooting to 95% conversion rate or better.
3. Improve on trying different strike lines, hand positions and ball speeds for the changing lane conditions in leagues and tournaments.
4. Learn more about the equipment I use and the drilling/layout preparation for a more versatile bowling ball arsenal.
5. Continue to have fun bowling throughout 2004.
