coming out of my slump

[willard46]

it feels good to come out of a slump

cause we are having our month scratch tournament at a center 25 miles away

today I shot a 747 with my black widow solid I use a 4.5 pin at 90 degree layout like ebonite drill sheet

for thoughts that don't know pin under ring finger mass directly under my thumb

i used 1000 abrolon pad
scores were 255-235-257=747 bws

you come out of one and i seem to hit one:( . Shot 533 tonight. dropped my average 6 pins to 200. first week i didnt have a single game over 200. let alone i dumped a strike ball in the gutter TWICE. Practice yesterday i was perfectly fine, then tonight was a disaster. hopefully it was just a bad night and not gonna be a few week slump

I know what you mean! I seem to be in slumps more that not, but today was pretty good. Shot a 244, 234, and a 257. :)

ill try to give some things that help me

1 don't think u have to strike every time
2 get your spares keep it clean!!!!!!!
3 use a smoother more predictable ball not skid flip for {control and that will get u confidence}
4 clear your mind don't think to hard but think a little in other words {think but don't think}
5 the sun will rise tomorrow {we all think that everyone is watching us and no one is unless u are doing very well or u are topbowler and they bowl bad so they can say well joe topdog bowled bad too so it must be the lane conditions}
6 USE A HAMMER!!!!!!! (http://www.markswebshop.com)
