As daryl said - Power is nothing without control...
having power ramming into pin 10, or maybe having power ramming the
ball into the gutter, no pt.
if i were to chooes i rather have low power low rev and 100%
accuracy on the pocket. Good enuff to strike.
i ever threw a ball .. tat slow .. it's like juz putting down and
pushing it .. around 10 rev or so .. went slowly into the pocket ..
and exploded into a strike. Good enough for me.
Yes u can tell me U can be constant Wif POWER .. wif REV .. But how
long can u last ?
Imagine playing in a competition, u are on ur 5th game .. u are
sweating .. tired .. and grumbling already.. , but the guy beside
.. it seems as if he is about to fall asleep, naturally he can
perform more constant compared to you.
Equipment matters, and for me, i dun know my equipment after i used
it for such a long time. frankly speaking, i am that kind of person
who can only own 1 strike ball and 1 spare ball or maybe 2 strike
balls. As long as i have 2 strike ball, my faith cuts into half,
half for each ball. Den i end up confusing myself, den kill myself
in competitions. So in this case for me, Equipment backfires on me
instead.
Bowling is a sport which requires repeating shots after shots,
which is one of the rare sports that requires repeatation, if not
the only 1, and the main factor to being constant to repeat ur
shots = SIMPLE Shots ...
WAtching bowlers and learning is a gd pratice however, wad works
for them might not work for you. for example a spinner watching
Robert smith .. ( bad example i know but i juz couldn't bother to
tink of a better 1 ) or maybe me watching robert smith .. not my
style. = Wasted time and effort ..
Thus we should always pick those wif similiar bowling and try out
what they are doing, constantly experimenting to improve.
TO me, bowling is a game wif lots of mystery around it. Who knows 1
day u might come out new throwing style .. not straight not hook
not spinner, the game never stops evolving. Thus i keep trying
funny strange or different release, hoping that 1 day i can get the
ultimate release. . ( sounds corny )
To me getting 200 is nothing to be happy about, instead to me ..
able to close every Frame except splits .. is something to be happy
about. Hitting a rough patch, maybe the lanes dun suit ur aresenal
u brought .. or maybe u dun feel well or maybe ur shoe ain't
sliding .. wadever.. u can't strike, but u have a solid sparing
system, which i still lack of .. u can always fall on it .. random
closed game will give u about 170 .. which isn't that bad. getting
a double in the middle gives u a 200. So mainly, 200avg is all
about sparing and closing up frames, dats of coz u dun do stupid
stuff 3 times in a row and get 3 splits in a row.
but most importantly i still find is that Confidence .. and trust
in yourself and the ball, which i always lack in. Thus whenever ..
sparable split .. pin 1 3 4 and 10 .. i end up .. " siao liaoz la.
. WTf how to spare " .. i go onto the lane panic.. juz rush my shot
.. go down .. die ..
i lost a spare .. = at least 5pinfall.
or maybe i dun trust the ball .. i don't know how will it react on
the lanes.. den i adjust .. probarly i will juz hit 4 pins or so
..
sooner or later .. i start to get frustarted .. my game score ..
100 .. 90 .. or 110 .. left right .. cannot tink properly.. take
balll throw throw throw .. end up .. go back reflect.. den feel
like slapping myself
for me i tink that why professional are able to play power and rev
together.. is becoz they trust themselves and the ball .. They
believe in their skill .. they can throw down 1st board and dun
feel worried that the ball won't come back into the pocket. For us,
we shld learn how to control the ball .. make it break at where we
want it to = Experience i guess. .
juz my 1 rupiah view. . Flames welcomed .. so that we could learn
