Can A Revless Knuckleballer Hit The Pocket From Deep Inside And Carry?

[gamemeister27]

I finally fixed my release (kept turning early and breaking my wrist.....wonderful 180 rpm release until now), and I can identify with wondering how the hell people can stand on the big dot and throw it at the second arrow without getting a 3 count. If you have any release drills, try making a little setup at home where you can do them. Then, work on getting more side roll on the ball for a different release. That will let you play inside a little better.

on this shot if you had anything over 150rpm you could smash the pocket as long as your ball crossed th outside of the 10 board at the back (the brown board)

very nice shot but not what i would call deep. nice shot nonetheless

[irishpogi]

For me it's on the deep side because I prefer to play the track area. I began my play there but my look from that angle was disappearing. One of the guys I was bowling with appeared to have more room further left.

I've must have bowled at least 75 games with my new ball and now it needs a little touch up haha :)

[irishpogi]

That's usually what happens. They don't last as long as the balls that were popular when I began bowling back in the 1970's.

[pokerguy17]

Yes, somehow the more advanced modern balls need more maintenance because of the advanced chemistry on the outside coverstock :)

[gamemeister27]

@irishpogi That's the cost of progress I guess, now that the balls absorb oil they hook more......but then they get oil soaked and die.

im guessin that was a sport shot, and that guy that went on the lane next to you was gettin low xD

[irishpogi]

Yes. Sport bowling oil patterns have been used during the USBC Nationals event since the 2008 event held in Albuquerque, NM. They will continue to be used for this tournament.

excellent!

i partook in my first sport league this year in the pba experience, and am moving up to adult leagues at the end of the summer, which means any more tournaments for me :O

[irishpogi]

Good luck to you then! Let us know how your progress is coming along!

Deep inside is a great place to play for shots at Las Vegas for people that have low revs. 2 much oil outside and chances are you might not hit the head pin, lol. That's what I pretty much had to do when I bowled intercollegiate.

[irishpogi]

I actually didn't start there. I started off playing a conventional 2nd arrow with board 8 as breakpoint using a ball with surface [Roto grip cell]. I was actually having issues with the feel of that ball and that's why I switched to the Raw doom hammer, a pearlized ball. That ball for the most part feels more comfortable fit wise. I did whip out the cell again during singles competition a pair over. Thanks again for the note.

[pbateson]

I glad u back to bowling.

[djrickysmith]

hell...not bad John!!!

[irishpogi]

Well considering this was one of the first times I wore a knee brace with hinges, you're right!

[earnhardtlivesE]

nice strike

[irishpogi]

This shot took place towards the end of doubles and I used raw hammer doom that's shined up.

[bigyodatheman]

Deep inside?

[irishpogi]

For me, that shot is relatively deep!
