I got to the center late, so I got *one* practice ball(brooklyn strike). I tried the 'inside' line again last night.

Last night was odd. Started great, had a nice line to the pocket. Lost it by the second ball in the 10th... a 5-6, missed it. Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:25:16 GMT GHP http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16504 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16504 Carl, I'm sorry to hear about the reaction to the beer. Your condition can be very tough to balance at times, last night seemed to be one of them. Forget it Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:23:26 GMT GHP http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16503 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16503 Tony, I would love to but there are NONE of them in our area. We have two good men's leagues both are handicap. We don't seem to have those problems here of Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:55:06 GMT Carl E. Milliken http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16502 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16502 Very strange evening of bowling. During practice felt great and the pins were falling. Started off the first game good then whiffed a 10 pin and then Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:56:57 GMT Tony http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16501 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16501 Dealing with this frustration is actually pretty easy; quit bowling in handicap leagues and tournaments and participate in scratch leagues and events only.

But when you have a bowler that is averaging 219 on one league and then bosting about Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:26:52 GMT Eldred Pickett http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16499 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16499 ... I believe I'm currently averagine 188, 194, and 198 in my 3 leagues. I haven't had a 700 yet this year, but I'm pretty sure it will happen. My last 700(on Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:15:17 GMT Arthur http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16498 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16498 Kinda likw a counter clockwise turn my hand was making at the top of my backswing that was preventing me from staying behind the ball and causing a lot of bad Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:35:15 GMT antoine jones http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16497 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BowlingTips101/message/16497 Not a NY/NJ thing. I am in Arkansas and I see things like that. There is one league around the central Arkansas area that is grounded by a large prize fund.

Most people don't get that mentality that "I am going to bowl good tonight" and
