Finally, Got A New Ball

Yep, I saved up enough and got myself a new bowling ball. I ordered it thursday night from Dicks, and had it drilled and ready for me Friday night. So it was time for me to test it out. The results were GREAT! It really allowed me to bowl a smooth new-found curve of mine. I did get a chip in it, which kinda of worries me, but someone told me your not a bowler unless you have a chip in your ball. So, Im progressing nicely, new equipment, renewed confidence, better results. Speaking of results here are more scores. (O, thats my ball to the left)

Bowling Tips

Good Results With The Hook

I tried out Walter Ray Williams Jr. hook technique, and it really worked for me. Each game i bowled at least 2 strikes. I am very excited about next week. O, and I modified my ball situation. I used a 10lb, instead of 15lb, which seemed to also contribute to better scores. Speaking of scores here they are:

Bowling Swing Video

Hey, just found an interesting bowling swing video for you guys to check out, so here it is.



The video is from My Bowling Coach, a great bowling instruction/lesson site. Another interesting thing i found on their site that i liked, is they show a free introductory video for 3 level of bowlers. What I mean by that is they show you a video, and what to improve on, based on your bowling average. There are 3 categories: Under 160, 161-190, and 190+. So they cater to beginners as well as experienced players.

As you can see i was kinda on a downwards trend. At the end of the day I came to the realization that the bowling ball i was using was a little to heavy for me. So I will make the adjustment of finding a new, lighter ball to use this coming saturday. I noticed a lot of my fellow teammates have a hook. So when I got home that day I looked up some info on hooking a bowling bowl. I this video, by Walter Ray Williams Jr. So check it out.



I really liked this video, and will trying his football-hook technique this coming saturday. So, well see how it goes, and I'll update later, with some news, and stats.
