RE: Switched to "left to right to left" bowling and am seeing around a 20 point average increase with my bowling scores

I remember when I was on a league the lady I was with at the time had to wear a wrist brace. It's actually probably more common for people to wear them on leagues than for them not to I would guess. At least over here. I think it is a good idea the changes you have decided to make. If they don't work out, you can always go back. Aiming for the arrows and not the pins took awhile for me to get the hang of, but once you do, like you said, everything else just falls into place.

yep. I think that most good bowlers never actually focus on the pins except to make sure that they are there. I am so not interested in looking at the pins that sometimes people have to stop my roll because one or more of the pins have actually fallen down before I roll.

Those wrist braces are fine I guess but they don't work for me. My wrist movement is quite unnatural and by putting on the brace I can no longer spin at all. I'm hoping my unconventional method of bowling works out so I can become famous for having invented it... haha

Haha, good luck with that! I always remember them telling me when you finish you should be shaking hands with the big man. I never quite got it down fully!

well 5-10 years ago the idea that someone would bowl with both arms was absurd... now it has become the norm in the pros and one-handed bowlers are actually quite rare. I'm nowhere near dedicated enough to create a trend though and I also have attempted to teach others how I do it but cannot.

Very true!
