I mean, slipping it thoroughly cleanly from one side to another?

Your bowling must have been near the gutter if not IN the gutter to make that

u mean pin 4-10 or 6-7 is it, is impossible to convert 7-10 by sliding the 10 pin to hit the pin 7

i kinda agree unless u r Jason Belmonte then u might have the chance

hi guys...
my fren just give me a ball...
2nd hand for hook...
weighted bout 15lbs...
kinda heavy for me to use it for hook...
my finger cant grip properly coz the hole are far...

Yea im talking about sliding. Ive heard some shots that can make your pin bounce back of the lane and back..but other than that, 7-10 is near impossible to spare

Hook ball is actually meant to be heavy

Holes are also meant to be drilled far for hook players

But since its second hand, u need to redrill to fit your fingers

ya u need to plug it and re-drill it to fit ur finger span,
and ur thumb hole also must fit properly
if u dont do this and keep continue playing with a span that u cant use u might end up injuring ur self

I was once told the ideal balll weight would be 10% of your total weight in (pds)

erm...

that is something new, cool... i shud calculate how much i weight and 10% of it


anyways.

washabushi,

u should redrill the holes, if not u might injured ur self. My first ball was given to me by my bro, so i didnt redrill, just used the old holes.

i ended up with spraining my thumb. took weeks to recover, after that had the ball redrilled and until now no more injury

except for the strain on the knee though

lol 10% of ur body weight..........its just a idea but not accurate
is best that u buy a ball that u can handle
for me i would say for starters they should use house ball to test 1st
from 9lbs and from that slowly gain the weight

till u find the right weight then only start buying ball

just to be on the safe side if u r planning to be a spinner the most u can go is 12lbs any higher i assume u got a strong wrist or just want to break your wrist for fun

Yea
i like to break my wrist for fun
haha

Light balls for spinner would be good anyways, once i hit the 1/3 1/2 light..the pins fly fly fly and just tumble down

Well,

i did get myself a knee guard, and it kinda help too... but i still feel the pain.

then i started drinking milk and now i dunt need the knee guard anymore

just need to drink milk everyday hehehe...


I have a question here.

currently im on 15lbs ball and i feel that my 15lbs is getting light.

should i maintain it or shud i go up a notch to 16lbs.

nah u no need to change to 16 pounder,if u feel the ball is light meaning ur arm is getting stronger.so now is the time for u to improve ur revolution rate.

just get ur palm under and behind the ball all time,after that relax and swing till u can feel the ball is near ur sliding leg then just break ur wrist and accelerate ur arm up just to rev the ball.
this need practice to get a good timing.

if u already doing that
u should learn how to push the ball with the above mention

while accelerating up near ur sliding leg,accelerate ur arm foward and up.
but u must have a strong balancing to do all this,if not it wont work,and u might get ur self injured

if u can master all the skills then only change to 16 lbs
u wont have alot of pin 5 standing comparing with 15 lbs ball

Correct
Get the rev
It really help loads

I look at the korean players, and im astounded at the amount of rev they can get on the ball. Their approach looks simple but once the ball is released..the rev is just crazy, even for the women's player

The women that won Esther Cheah in Asian games Masters..shes good..really really good

that korean woman name choi jin-A is famous of the praying b4 bowl hehehe
her first step she push the ball up above her head like she is praying to god.

the weight i can handle...
the hole also fit nicely...
but if both combine...
then its hard for me...
house ball i use 11...
that 1 is too light for me...
can throw a really really powerful throw with that...
the pin bing bing bang bang...
lol...
the ball my fren gave me was 14.5...

is this a poem ??

aiya...
it sound like a poem meh?
no rhythm also...

after reading it a few times...

it looks kinda like a poem...

Im thinking of improving my approach, timing, revs and balance on release.

i think i shud stay with the 15lbs.


Thanks
