Ding SG Yup, I think that Tom's release is alright. Just that he is still not too sure which line to play hence lowering his confidence. In bowling, confidence is of utmost importance. Needless to worry, all these will come with more league experience & training Prata sure is confident last night. So many strikes + an incredible spare which ooze so much finesse Wow man, give yourself a pat on your shoulder Overall, I enjoyed myself tremendously(less the smokey situation ofcourse. That is going to change, I promised you guys )
Player1 SG well, me going to work on my release later...dunno where... with the timing tape, my thumb is fitting, but the exposed areas of the thumb "sticks" to the thumb plug. without the timing tape, my thumb hole is slightly loose(thumb comes out with no worries) and when it gets sticky on the sticky side, i can always use the tissue trick and cold air on thumb method. so i dunno to use, or not to use timing tape. or change to insert tape but i have not tried insert tape before, may feel weird.
Ding SG Dun worry too much P1, as the famous chinese saying goes......when the boat reaches the bridgehead, things will straighten out/work out Applied to bowling When a bowler/kegler step onto the approach, just do it Cool
[email protected] SG P1 think you shd get yourself a grip sac or puff ball to dry your hands the proper way..dunno if you are still using the talcum powder with the saf green powder bottle.. if you are, strongly advice you to change..cos once your hand starts to perspire again, the talcum wd make your hands even 'stickier'. I have that experience before which caused my thumb to stuck too. I have an extra puff ball now..see if you wd like to have it. show it to you next trg session.
Player1 SG me no more using powder already... heeee just that the dry scaly skin (from bowling) tends to become hard and smooth during the process of bowling and it sticks to the ball. The underside of it is not hard, and this part becomes sticky from sweat and stick to the ball. so its 2 areas of my thumb to look out for. and because of thumb swelling/contracting, sometimes the thumb does not create problems, sometimes 1 side gives problems. Like yesterday, the hard and smooth part gave problems....
Ding SG Yes, pls don't use power. Don't be like uncles Remember last night there's 1 who pour power on the screen-top
Player1 SG but u got use his powder!!! hahah good news!!! i solve my problem!!!! went to bowl just now 7 games total... from first throw, i tried the "think at home and come with solution" trick. IT WORKED! and i used it all the way...very consistent! 7 games, had avg 158!!!!! had a high game of 196, and my last game 184, NO OPEN FRAME. no 7 pin loner waiting to be spared!!! I'm so happy....worked it out liao! its all with my stupid backswing man......i'm forcing it down, so causing release problems. i let it come down by itself, and just work on feeling the thumb out and extend my hand and. Elbow auto unlock, watch the ball go into 1-2 or 1-3...WOOHOOO! try in training again. If it works wonders, I'm almost there... but my thumb got a blood clot...think i put my timing tape wrongly though. hahahah!!! HAPPY!!!!
prataman SG Glad to hear it, budd. Most bad things in bowling are usually associated with faulty pushaways and/or late thumbs. If you've managed to solve it, man I'm glad for you!!! Let's see it during the next league, when the pressure's on. Doing something in practice and doing something in league (when you have to wait a long time for your turn) isn't the same. The challenge is to keep mentally focused, and be able to produce the goods when your turn arrives. Once again, let me re-iterate that I think you have a truly wonderful release (when your thumb doesn't get caught). Very clean, very smooth and revvy, too! Nice Hard to believe that's a release/shot of a rookie.
Freemun SG Best [color=darkblue]ah best..let me know if I am playing next week...surlyone .. Power power..its real entertaining to be playing with me right? best ah best,. Next time wil try more after strike's celebration antics..power eh...more breakdancing moves...best, CHeck it out.eh. [/color]
