Well Everyone,

How about a new club called the Dubious "Century Club"  This is where in the same series you have two games 100 pins difference.  No consistancy in its clearest form.

Last nite I had my third one for this season my bowling partner has done more than we can count we call him the king of the club shooting several 279 and 177 in the same series!

Last nite I started with a 169 had not bowled or even look at the ball in two weeks!

2nd game finally figured what to do with the round object and shot 233.

The third game looked like I really knew what I was doing with a 277.

For a 679 series.

So everyone Have you all had some crazy nites like this.

Bowl well and May God richly Bless you more than you can hope for or think.

I personally have struggled for far to long with trying to solve the inconsistent release.  I would pull, roll over and many other little problems that just killed a good game.

A friend and I Bowled practice sunday and after one game he said he knew what my entire problem was!  Well, I knew some was because of my back curved issues I could not see my target down the lane as I was in final stroke release.

He suggested I move my feet and my target.  My feet we moved back 8 inches which gave me a smoother walk to the line.  Then he moved my target to the first row of dots 7 feet down the lane.

This made it possible to see my target the entire release and approach which is extremely important if a bowler wants to be consist!

After bowling, sunday wednesday and today practice and league on Monday.  I can safely say this sure is the answer.

 Yesterday on fresh oil I shot 235 average over 5 games

Today on medium to dry lanes using balls I have not shot with for months I shot 221 over 9 games.

 The biggest thing is feet smooth makes hand release more consistent.  So keep your eye on the target on bowl well

May God Richly Bless Everyone

Soon or latter I will cross the 11 in row barrier.

Life has a way of repeating.  Years ago when I first started bowling I threw 10 series between 595 and 599 just missing my first 600. My first 600 series was a 646.  Then the same thing happened when I scored my first 700 series; my first 700 series was a 739.

Bowling is all about trusting yourself and the equipment and patience.

6 times now I have had 11 eleven in a row!  The latest was on my Monday nite league shooting 297 then the next nite on Tuesday the back 11 for a 279.

Bowl Well Everyone

May God Richly Bless You All

Hi Everyone

Just getting back from vacation which was a great experience. My wife and I took a cruise to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama.

Next year maybe Alaska in August or the southern Carribean.  In two years we are planning a Medditerrian Cruise.

I took some time and went to bowl.com to check all my league records and lern something. Since coming to Florida in 2004 I have been quite consistent overall. 212.25 average.

10 leagues over the past 3 years.  585 games and 124170 pins latter my average overall is fair.  I noticed the leagues I bowl with three man teams were the highest at 223 and the five man teams was the lowest at 208. I bowl mostly 4 man teams and those leagues are at or close to 210-215.

My biggest problem is week to week consistency.  I have series and even games high then low.

Like throwing a 297 then a 157 in the same series!

I suffer from Ankylosing Spondilitis and that does affect my game throughout the series.

I do have good weeks though with eleven in a row on my Monday nite league and Tuesday Nite the same week!  The front 11 on Monday and the Back 11 on Tuesday.

Bowl well everyone and be in good health.
