Well I might have found something that I was doing wrong in my game. Like I said in my last blog I bowl kind of like Ryan Shafer, and that I needed to start standing up at the line to hit my spot. So today I had a 700 club tournament, and I tried to stand up at my release, but it just wasn't working. I was still chicken winging it and the ball just wouldn't come back. Also again the ball wasn't picking up its roll. I originally thought that the ball had to be baked so I baked it and it still didn't pick up its roll. In the 10th frame of the second game I decided to not just stand straight up at the end of my approach but to stand straight up throughout my approach. And that is where it all turned around. I threw a turkey in the 10th and then started off with a strike in the next game and a solid 7 in the second frame. So I knew I was on to something. I continued to stand up as straight as possible throughout my entire approach and I started bowling like I used to. I not only was hitting my spot but the ball picked up its roll perfectly and the ball wasn't sliding past the break point like it has been. I finally have some confidence in my game again. For the last month I thought it was the way they were oiling the lanes but I now know that it was me that had the problem. For a month I couldn't get the ball to come back when I swung it out even if I hit my spot, and I could not figure out why my ball wasn't picking up its roll on the lane. I actually thought that the ball might have died out, but now I know it was me and hopefully I will be back averaging 200 again. Only time will tell.
