ASK BOB
by Bob Korth
Q. I bowl in league with a fellow who takes an eternity to start his approach. I asked
him what he is doing to take that amount of time and his answer is I am going
through my checklist. Is there anything I could say to this person to maybe get him
to speed up?
A.
Print this answer out and take it to him, the check list should be done before you
get on the approach. The longer you stand there with the ball in hand the more time
you have to over think the shot. The muscles get tighter and you allow the conscious
mind to take over your shot. When
you bowl the best your approach will be relaxed
and automatic. The subconscious mind should be doing all the work. Muscle mem-
ory gained through practice is the key to a better game. Do your thinking in the set-
tee area. When you get on the approach look at your mark and go. You
will bowl
better and so will your teammates.
Q. I have been leaving quite a few seven-ten splits on good shots in the pocket
lately, I don't understand what is happening can you explain this to me?
A.
Just because the ball is in the pocket it does not mean it is a good shot. I look at
the pocket seven-ten as a bad shot. The ball hit weak or from too far out. Most of the
pocket seven-tens are caused by missing your mark outside and in the process of
trying to recover lose energy. This causes
a weak hit. In the days before reactive
balls this shot would result in a five-seven or five- ten. The bowling balls today are
so powerful now they almost always take out the five. Then you are
left with a weak
seven, weak ten or the dreaded seven-ten. When this is happening try moving
your feet right a board, opposite for lefty's. If this still does not work you may need a
ball change. To change the break point of the ball. Watch the ball as it is going
through the pins. When you hit the pocket if the ball is going
off the deck behind the
9 pin. It is rolling out too soon. This makes for a weak hit.
Q. Summer is almost over I have not bowled in almost 5 month's. League starts
soon what should I do get ready?
A.
Go to your local pro shop and have them look at your arsenal. Get your bowling
balls cleaned and
resurfaced. Also ask what new ball made during the summer may
fit into your existing arsenal. Then consider a lesson or two, this is a great time for a
lesson as due to the layoff many bad habits have been forgotten. After this get down
to your center and get in some practice. I like 3 to 4games a day. This helps rebuild
your muscle memory.
