Hello all bowlers!! I just finish reading all d 46 pages of this forum..he he

Look like a lot of bowlers starts during secondary school but stopped after that. Im one of them. I was active during form 1-form4 times.. everyweek will go bowling. But after that (coming to kl to study + work) until now nvr get serious with bowling anymore.

Recently just bring my old ball from hometown to kl..cause feel like wanna get started again. Now im living opposite timesquare... so when c d pro playing my hand oso gatal.

I play hook. D ball i have is my sister one. She gave it to me so i refill d hole n redrill d hole to my hand size. Highest scold i got is 230+ only.. (280+ for 9pin ) but average i think is quite poor. Now i went to play cant even match those who use house ball.. Really paiseh.

I hav a question here.. d Condition of d Lane will iffluence d ball movement right? like d oiliness... So d best time to play is after they Just "oil" d lane? I notice d last time i play with hook in BTW at night.. I get my technique right but d ball just cant Grip on d lane thus cant turn in at d end of d lane. I wonder is it bcause.. d oil on d lane already spread evently towards d end of the lane therefore my ball cant grip.. any such theory? bowling master pls share

Added on April 30, 2007, 1:01 amAahh.. today i went to play bowling in timesquare n i did really really bad... I cant get my old technique back anymore. 50+,80+ , 90+ I cant believe i cant even get above 100!

Try figure out all d movement.. recall all d techniques.. but still do badly. I cant get even one hook right for d whole night! I feel like my ball just drop off from my fingers b4 manage do pull n hook. So d ball most of d time end up just like a spin ball. perhaps my leg oredi don have d strength to hold my body while bending low..

can give me some tips how to get back my skill from 5 years ago~!?

HI kelvio thanks. Last time i can do well with my old ball.. but that time i play every weeks.. Now no more. U mention bout Dead Ball? A ball Will die!~? My ball is Ebonite..blabla..donno d detail. lots of deep scratches now. Will this made d difference? Is my ball dead? 8 years oredi i think. ha ha

Im very much concern with d way i release d ball. I feel d ball so hard to grip nowadays. and as if it is "dropping" when i release that time. So my hook bcome spin~~ As for d approach n steps.. i think im still manage to handle okey...just need to regain my stamina especially my left leg bending.

Anyway.. tat day in TImesquare Competition lots of people name Kelvin.. R u there? on Sunday.

hi bro and welcome to this thread..
theres many factor that can make ur ball not to hook
first we must see the thing near to us,
the thing the nearest to us is us our own self,
if u wanna hook the ball we must know our skill,ask our self,do we have the right technique,is our steping is correct,our timing,to learn this is hard by just reading and apply,
go to youtube and find the PBA bowling video,
dont look at their style,insted look at their timing of release,footstep timing,swing timing.
then make friends with the proshop people,after that ask them question if u dont understand,ask for tips,
u need some 1 to guide u so u wont go out of course.

ball factor: ball also a factor that can make the ball not to hook.old ball or dead ball can go straight even how hard u lift it,

lane factor: lane also can make ur ball to not hook, but lane is a dead thing what u can do is adjust according to ur ball entry angle.

forum not dead yet!..good.. I wanna bowl again..
