When the ball hits your inside ankle...

[Protoman]

ouch!..am I the only one this has happened too?

It hurts like a bitch. It has happened about 3-4 over the past 3-4 months and I know I get spooked sometimes on my release...also catch myself throwing the ball slower than I want.

Any stories..advice??

Inside ankle?

My advice would be keep your non sliding leg closer to your body.

dropping your sholder BIG time. or just sliding to the side, and still throwing straight, but i know when i was y oung and nailed my ankle a few times, it was because i was dropping my shoulder. and yes, it hurts very much.

I do that sometimes, i just have never hit it majorly. It does hurt. I don't do it very often as much anymore.

I did it for the first time about 3 weeks ago. I stuck on my approach so the release was all sorts of messed up and cracked my ankle. It hit hard enough on my bone that it broke the skin and it trickled blood in the exact pattern as my sock threads.

Damn Jman.

I used to do it at least once a month >.>

I'm starting to straighten out my form now. It used to happen when I sped up the ball, because my timing was all off. I'm starting to improve, but I really really need a coach.

But in order for me to have a coach I must have a job to pay for it...I'm working on it. (I'm 15)

Last time I hit my ankle I almost broke it. Like smash, everyone hears a crack, and i crawl off the approach. My ball made me bleed then, and my friend called me a pussy and told me to bowl >.>
