May 21 outing with brother

I wasn’t expecting it this morning, but my brother popped the bowling question when he showed up for his visit. Of course, I accepted, thinking it would be an ideal time to shake some of the rust off from not bowling in over a week with a tournament coming up tomorrow. “CoachJim” thought I needed to work on ball speed and timing, so that was mostly what I worked on on first ball. “CoachJim” also gave me a hint on my spares, especially on my right side (including my troublesome 10 pin): if I push off harder on my right leg into my release, that will help keep my hips square with my target line subconsciously. That second bit actually seemed to work…I missed a 3-6, but only because I felt I pulled it, and that was the only “easy” miss on the day; the rest were splits. Though I wasn’t overly concerned with score, I shot a 616 for the set.
