I have decided to bowl on the PBA Experience League this fall. My bowling center here puts down the pattern of the week on Sunday mornings so I thought I would go and give it a try. I have never bowled on any of the patterns before today and boy was I in for an unpleasant surprise. I bowled nothing over a 168 and my low game was 141. I thought I was a good bowler with a 212 average but I am not nearly as accurate as I thought. I couldn't make myself hit the same board twice and that was what it takes in order to do well. Anyway, I have a few weeks before the fall league starts so I will keep practicing. The way I look at it is that this will only make me a better bowler.
Kinda makes you appreciate the pros in a whole new way huh? I'm wrapping up a summer league of PBA Experience. I averaged 201 last winter on the house shot....and looking at about 161 in this format!
ScottIt's been fun, and eye-opening, to many different aspects of my game that needed work: Accuracy, speed, consistency, mental focus.
Time will tell if this translates to better bowling in the winter league, but I'm pretty positive I've taken a lot of good lessons out of it. Hopefully it'll prove the same for you. Good luck!
