damn yeah 686 is pretty damn decent. Although I've seen a couple 800's rolled before and damn just damn.

Hmm...tell me what kind of form you guys use. Also, when you release, do you look at the ground to see where you release or do you focus your eyesight on the pins?
My form is the 4-step form taught by my dad. I have a lot of trouble using it properly though...
|
I use a 4 step approach and I look at the arrows when I release the ball. You're suppose to just look at your target,whatever it may be, all the way thru your swing. Must decent bowlers do a 5-step approach now a days though.

I also use 4 steps. They are very large steps, though. I start all the way back with my heels up against the very end of the wooden section.
People have told me to train my eyes on the mark I am aiming for, but I never really focus on that.
My partner uses a 5 step approach with small steps. It's amazing how much further up than me he starts despite taking more steps.

Man I went bowling this last sat. on the navy base in corpus christi. The lanes were the driest I've ever bowled on. No matter what I did the ball always came in high. I bowled like 4 games at like 110, 110, 170,130. The worst games I've had in like 6 years. I just couldn't believe it. But oh well after the first game and a half I realized I just didn't have the correct ball for the lane conditions.

686 is nice. There's guys around my age at the place I regularly go who's in the 800 club o_o
I too use the 4 step approach. Before last summer I had never really bowled now I average about 175 highest is 210. I seem to bowl better drunk :s for main I use a 15 lbs inferno how about y'all? I'm looking for a good backup ball am thinking of a rampage or something with a nice backspin

I use a 16 pound Battle Zone Missile I bought like 6 years ago for high school bowling. I realized long ago that except for possibly the 10 pin I have no need for a second ball despite my crazy hook.

I'm 24. I have no problem hitting any pins with the main expect the 6, 9, and especially 10 pin thats when I like to use a lighter ball (11 or so) with very little hook. Ey, it works for me.
So you've been in this 6 years now?
|
I'm 23 and bowl with a 15 pound conquest that I've had for like 5 or 6 years now. I use a blue dot for my 6 and 10 pin spares. Everything else I can with my main ball. I know a lot of people that are in the 800 club and that have 300 games. T.t wish I was one of them. My highest is only 279 which I bowled ages ago.

I started bowling my soph. year in high school. Although I took two years off between early 05 and late 06. And I picked it back up after my friends from penscola to corpus christi for nationals in summer 06. I was doing fine until then. Damn them
