Bowled last night. Not so good, I had a 125, 135, and 155 (my average is 145). Pretty inconsistant. We were lucky to win one game, and the series, only be cause John (one of the three on our team) bowled a 202 that game, so we won by 71 pins, which clinched the series total as well.
I have two different ways I can hold my ball, each seems to work equally as well, so when I start sucking, I usually change my hold and it seems to help for a while, until that hold starts to suck, and I have to switch back. I’m fairly certain that’s not how the pros do it. I need to alter my style so I can have one technique that works every time.
I’ve currently got a straight ball, but I’d like to get a hooking ball (if you don’t know, when you see a ball curving dramatically, it’s at least partially because the ball is specially designed to do that, the balls the bowling alley provides are straight balls, so you really have to put spin on them to get any curve). I’ve been waiting to try and improve my consitency with the straight ball before I add more variables with a hooking ball, but maybe the kooking ball will force me into something completely different so I can try starting from scratch.
Anyway, not much else is new, rowing and eating and drinking as usual, hoping to keep that body fat on a negative slide. Starting to think about what alterations to make to my diet, and I’ve already also started moving the weights around a bit more, so hopefully I’ll be able to measure some small increases soon.
