5th Bowling Lesson

My lesson on Thursday went very well. First thing my instructor asked me to do was just let my arm go on the forward swing. I tend to get the ball down pretty low to the lane when I roll it, but this time I just let it go from a little higher up. It seemed to improve my timing and accuracy.

My instructor said I had a couple of really good shots. The shots he said were good didn’t hook that much. The ball would spin down the lane and as it neared the pins, would then start to hook into the pocket. I thought the ball should have more hook, but according to him it shouldn’t.

I guess the less the ball hooks, the more accurate you can be since the ball isn’t hooking all over the place. Scores for my three games were 143, 162, and 117.

The last game I didn’t due to well because my fingers seemed to swell up and get stuck in the ball as I rolled it.

Next week my instructor is going to video tape me so that I can see for myself where my bad areas are and what I’m doing correctly.

Total cost for lesson: $28.75
Combined from previous weeks: $68.25
