ASK BOB
By: Bob Korth
Q. I am shutting down bowling for the summer. How can I do this but maintain some sort of game
for next season?
A. Don't shut down completely you don't have to bowl every day but try to go once a week at
least. It will keep your mental and physical game in some order. Also remember summer is a great
time to get to know your arsenal. Without the pressure of league or tournaments you can better learn
your equipment and plug the holes in your arsenal with a couple of new balls and at a better price.
Bowling equipment is on sale in the summer during the times of less demand. Summer is also a
great time for lessons.
Q. What is the meaning of the term over/under?
A. When you throw the ball and get immediate and violent hook and the next shot you try to ad-
just and the ball just hangs and seemingly does not even begin to hook. And then no matter what
you do it keeps happening, this is over/under. Over/under can be caused by a variety of different
causes. You may just need a ball change to a ball with a different surface. It could be that you are
playing the wrong part of the lane. It could be that your timing is off and causing you to turn the ball
early. Early turn is one of the most common reasons for under/over right next to ball surface. These
are the most common fixes and if you are still having problems get a coach to help you.
Q. My teammates have been telling me I that I am not following through. Is there something I can
do to remember to follow through?
A. Before beginning your approach do some mental imaging. Picture your self finishing at the line
with a perfect follow through. Then when you get to the release point picture a nail in the ceiling. The
nail is sticking out and needs to be driven into the ceiling. You drive it into the ceiling with your
thumb. This will help to make you follow through every time.
