ASK BOB
By Bob Korth
Q. I have been in a slump for some time now. I have tried to practice more but the
slump continues. Do you have any idea's on what I can do to break my slump?
A.
You have to develop amnesia forget all the things that have been happening in
your game. Do what you can to regain your confidence. Go find a coach and take a
lesson they might see a problem with your game you didn’t know you had. And hav-
ing something new to work on can do wonders for your mental game. It gives you
something else to think about besides your bad bowling. Sometimes buying a new
ball can help. This also serves as a distraction from your problems with scoring.
Keeps you busy watching the reaction of the new ball. Remember this you have not
forgotten how to bowl. You just need to relax and let your muscle memory take
control. I am not a believer in practice to break a slump, it is my belief that then you
are just practicing bad habits that will add to the frustration. I would rather take a
week or two off Then come back fresh with a brand new attitude. For me the harder
I try the worse I get Everyone is different so pick one of these you think might work
for you.
Q. I have a 192 average and have been stuck here for 3 years. I would like to get to
200 what can I do to attain that goal?
A. T
here are many things you can do to get to a 200 average from the 190's. The
first thing I would do is get a coach. A coach can help you with both the physical
game and the mental game it may just be one small change you need to make to
start scoring over 200. Make sure your spare game is the best it can be. To average
200 from the 190's only requires that you make one more spare per game. I don’t
know how much you practice but more practice can't hurt and pick on your problem
spares. For instance shoot the 10 pin for an entire game. When you get it down pick
on another problem spare.
Go to your pro shop and have them check your arsenal and ball fit to make sure
your fit is OK and see if you need some new equipment to help improve your carry.
Q. Have you ever gone to a ball company to see the operation first hand?
A.
Many of you know I am a member of the Roto Grip amateur staff. Roto Grip is a
subsidiary of Storm. I just got home from a trip thru 13 states and on this trip I
stopped by Storm
to visit for a ½ day and say hello to the people I only get to talk to
on email or the phone. The Storm motto is we are the bowlers company and I am
here to tell you they mean it. I lost my wife a few weeks ago and when I got there
they treated me like family. I am just a bowler from Oregon but to them I was a VIP.
I feel very lucky to have a surrogate family like Storm. And observing the plant while
it is working you can feel the connection they have for all bowlers. They are always
looking to help bowlers improve. I got a sneak preview of a new product they are
working on. I believe it will be a help to many of you. I am not at liberty to say what it
is as it is not perfected but will soon be in pro shops. I can tell you it is not another
ball. They are always working to help their customers improve their game.
