Some Thoughts About The PBA Experience!

Friday, July 25, 2008, 07:17 PM [General]

Okay Gang!

I finally have a chance to tell you some thoughts/opinions about the PBA Experience.....I LOVE IT!!!

This is for a number of reasons. The first of which is that you know going in what kind of pattern you're bowling on. This allows you to know what type of shot will give the best chance to strike. Also, these patterns, as you might expect, place a premium on shot making and repeating those quality shots. Even on spares, you'd be surprised as to the concentration and execution necessary to cover those. Hard and straight really does mean hard and straight! Those who try it will learn to do something they don't normally do to score well. If you hook the ball, you'll learn to roll it straight and visa versa.

As a pilot, I'm into checklists. Therefore, I have expanded my preshot/shot checklist from seven to eleven items before I even begin my approach. I've even added a post shot checklist of about five items addressing the shot itself and what could have gone wrong, if anything. If all items were positive and there was no strike or covered spare, then it's a safe bet that the oil has moved.

My favorite patterns are the Viper and Scorpion. Needless to say, I've done the best on those. My high four game set so far is +16....that includes my high game of 248 for this league. I haven't seen the Chameleon pattern yet....stay tuned for that.

Now the job of finding the PBA Experience for the fall begins.....HELP!!!!!

As always, make your spares!! Vinnie

WANTED: The PBA Experience...and a Late News Flash

Thursday, March 13, 2008, 08:51 PM [General]

Okay,Gang!!

This is a call primarily to the bowlers in the Baltimore/D.C. area, but anyone who knows of folk in that area is encouraged to pass this on....

I am looking for the PBA Experience this summer. I am convinced that I need to get back into a league while at the same time improve my game. Therefore, if anyone knows of a center in the Baltimore/D.C. corridor that is running the PBA Experience, then please send a PM to me with the necessary info!!

I also have learned that a well known coach will be hosting a four day clinic in the Baltimore area in the month of May. PM me if you're SERIOUS about improving your game!

Hopefully, we'll do a NABI event this month because I'm not too keen about not bowling any events in March.

Make your spares!! Vinnie
