Maybe you are thinking too much while you are up on the approach. Just go up there, don't think, look at your target, and just throw the ball. This has been my problem for the past month.

your expecting too much out of yourself.....

and if you have tired everything... maybe go back to a coach?

You may be trying to hard to get out of the so called slump. Just because we have some off nights where we don't hit our potential doesn't really mean you are in a slump. You may be doing everything right and it's just not your condition that suits your game.
Just releax and ply your game.

I have one question: How do I get into a slump like yours? Your slump is still good bowling, can I have it?

At the bottom of your post's it says,"The one thing I know a lot about is bowling" or something close to that. Maybe you know too much. You're putting way too much pressure on yourself here. Ain't nobody gonna hand you a big cardboard check at the end of the night. Relax and have some fun. Tell some jokes. Laugh with the guys. I sure do hope you're not this obsessive when you're bowling. That can't be a pretty picture. A 606 series? Do you realize how many guys on here would sell their kids for those scores? Yeah,you averaged 237 last year,but this ain't last year anymore. Maybe the lanes have changed and you didn't change with them. Different pattern,different brand of oil,whatever. Maybe this is as good as it's gonna get. Relax and roll the ball. Make the shots and take the scores. Hey,I shot a 170 the other day and was totally happy with the game. Why? Because every shot was right where I wanted it to be. Just didn't get the pinfall. Oh well. It happens. Move on and try again.

I tried what some of u have said last night

the relax and fun part and yes i know a 606 is not a bad score for some of u

but its bad for me

yes it could be worse

I am thinking to much and putting to much pressure on my self

last nite i tried the don't think approach and i had a 658

started out with 3 opens

thought here we go but i was not going to let it bother me

and had that 658

Nice shooting last night. Keep that mindset into your league and every time you go bowling. Relax, have a clear mind have fun and do not think and try to hard.
