In practice today, I was concentrating on getting the ball over the foul line without the towel on the lane, and was largely succeeding in the first game in the process of getting a 213, which would turn out to be the best score of the three. Around the second game, I got into trouble when I tried coupling that with thinking about a free arm swing, losing a bit of my hook and carry, though I still stayed around my league average. I’m thinking I either do best with a semi-controlled arm swing, or need another pitch (and possibly span) adjustment to my ball so I can hang on to the ball with a free arm swing.
Lost opportunity: I didn’t learn until my chat with the crew after practice that bowling legend Johnny Petraglia had paid a visit to Westgate Lanes this weekend. If I had known about the visit sooner, I would’ve tried to visit while he was there, maybe bringing my digital camera for a photo opportunity. Oh well, maybe next time.
