Can you please explain to me what a coach is going to do to help me? Not being sarcstic.
I have consitent speed for the most part- hit my mark within about 4-5 boards. I can and have adjust my stance on the approch and my line with the changing lane conditions. I know that I am a stroker.
So what other variables am I missing. I stated that I was a 164 average because as a new bowler with todays technology I am. But in reality- I have been bowling for 40 years- just not in a league.
I can and have shot 650- 637- 628- and this was just ina fun league with my kid using an old Hammer Duece and a used Ebonite Source-- that was not drilled using my PAP- or CG-- just a label layout by a proshop owner you drills by feel and experience, not taking into account how I bowl-- he maybe watched me bowl once- for four minutes on dry conditions with a 15 year old ball--
Everyone has been nice enough to help me and suggest balls based on the limited information I can provide because I don't know my rev rate or axis point or CG.
LOL-- I am just an old fart - who is trying to understand how the technology pertains to maximizing my potential based on the balls surface, and layout-- I am not going so deep to compare cores or adjustments with pads according to the changing lane conditions.
The one pro who watched me bowl-- is not the house pro at my lanes-- yet he had the best read and watched me bowl-- so that is why I am speaking about bals and layouts.
I have used Hammer Duece, a used Ebonite Source and a used Zero Gravity. Three completely different ball, the source and gravity were drilled by the proshop owner who doesn't watch me bowl-- does not find out the PAP just uses a label layout.
That is why I am considering finding/ going to a this Pro, who does give lessons, buying the ball from him because he does have my PAP, CG and even if he drills me 4X2X4 it will be becasue it is forgiving for a house shot and not a Kegal pattern or PBA Championship pattern.
So I have feed the House Proshop Owner-- not a PBA pro but an owner. Who drill to what he feels you need not what will work with your style.
So please forgive my stubborness- and misspelling-- LOL-- I am pretty consistent in my stance, speed, hit my mark and getting the ball out of my hand at a consistent angle-- i am a engineer buy nature and love exploring the variables associated with everything-- that is what I do--
That is why I think at this point i have to listen to the PBA proshop owner-- who understand what ball would work best for my house shot, based on my release, speed etc.
I shot those games I listed in about eight minutes per game trying out differnt lines - first arrow, between first and second, stand and going over the third.
So will the PBA proshop owner be the difference becasue they can not only assist in improving my game but drill the ball to give me proper angle to the pocket at the right breakpoint with enough skid to have energy on the back end so I can throw six or seven in a row easily as opposed to modifing my swing speed to get the ball to react the way it should?
So what else do I need to know from the coach? again not being sarcastic
Thanks
