Today’s topic, Further Tools of The Trade.
Having a tool kit, items or accessories is a helpful thing to have on hand. Sliding pads, surface pads, grips, tape, new skin, super glue, towels, nail clippers, shoe brush, bevel knife, stay dry bag, bowling ball cleaner, acetone, pain meds, notebook, shoe covers, knife, slide sock, and of course shoes.
First 2 Games
I shot 190 and 135. Not my best performance, the pattern was hard because there was no reverse oil on the entire lane. My ball was never slowing down and it made it hard. My swing and release felt off the whole time.
Discussion
In discussion it was helpful to be told that slowing down would help. I didn’t listen to much of the discussion because I was trying to put to vision what my shot would look like and how it would feel.
Last 2 Games
180 and 171 were my last 2 games. Made spares, but ex*****on on the first shot was still lacking. Not a good set at all but I learned about the pattern and improved on myself.
The Takeaway
Don’t be tense, don’t get mad, don’t forget what you’re here for. I am given opportunities that give me the chance to better myself as an athlete and as a person. It seems I need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. I need to get to work this week.
