I am the author of True Bowler Adjustments bowling book. I can answer bowling adjustments questions dealing with the body, the ball, the lanes and using your eyes to read the ball reaction. I can also answer "most" drilling questions about bowling balls. I will generally answer your questions within 2 days. I am truly a "software guy" who loves the human or people part of coaching. Any questions concerning ball drilling, we want to direct to the "hardware guy," the true expert regarding ball fitting! Ball fitting is what I consider to be your first priority in bowling! Thanks in advance Warren!!! It will always be about teamwork with me! A very special "thanks in advance" for any help with drilling questions I may receive! If your question is about "How to bowl better? physically and mentally," I am here for you. Anything else will most likely be sent to the question pool for consideration by other members. I recently began my first year of ball drilling(6/1/2010). Thank you. :-) |

Fred, There is no magic in bowling. No Voodo drill or magic bowling ball. You used a strong core and medium cover to get good reaction. More than likely, the layout suited what you were looking for
2013-04-23 Why is my average lower on synthetic lanes?:
Gordon, Sounds like the equipment you roll is a bit too strong for the lane conditions/lanes, and you may have slowed down your ball speed a bit. Are your lanes wood with a synthetic film covering?
2013-04-22 lowering weight on next ball:
GW, --[1] will i get more reaction by rolling lighter ball? No, lighter balls has lesser weightblocks. Unless you have strong skills and know you can put enough hand in your shots to get the reaction
2013-04-21 No back end on Freeze Hybrid:
Fred, Early, for a player that rolls the ball slowly, usually doesn't provide enough backend reaction on anything other than oily lanes. I'd take your wife onto the lanes and see her roll the ball. Gauging
2013-04-21 No back end on Freeze Hybrid:
Fred, The earlier pin position in the ball layout would cause the ball to start rolling too early for Laura's speed. I expected she had more speed, thus the earlier pin position. I prefer a strong core/pin
