Wonder where old bowling balls go when they’re past their prime and they’ve run out of time? Some are thrown out, some are sold (at whatever price the seller can get), some are lost and some are passed on to friends and relatives.

This was Rosie Bates, who turned Winnetka Bowl upside down with an amazing effort. After grinding out scores of 124 and 189 in league play, Rosie began a string of thunderous shots that rattled the pins – both literally and figuratively.

She struck on her first nine shots before sparing in the 10th and collecting a 10th strike on her final shot. Her 279

● Fun Fact: Les Zikes of Palatine, Ill., for years held the PBA record for most years between his first and second titles – 14 years and six days between the only two PBA Tour titles he won, both in Waukegan, Ill. Recent research has unveiled another oddity in Zikes’ career: he also won two PBA Regional titles – the first in 1981 and the second, a PBA50 title, 20 years later in 2001. Both are consistent with the USBC Hall of Famer’s bowling skills over a lengthy career. Now 82, Zikes was the first bowler to win USBC Open Championships titles in three consecutive years (1962-64).

The Perfect Coach: Part 3 by Steve Felege Last week we described the targeting system built into every lane. Now, it’s time to learn how to use it. As we discussed, two points define the line your ball will travel. These are (1) the placement of your stance on the approach area and (2) the target you aim for on the lane. Since we all want to deliver strikes, let’s start by searching for the two points that create the line leading your ball to the pocket.* One point will be the arrow you choose as a target. For newcomers, I recommend the second arrow from the channel.** It provides a high percentage of strikes for balls which hit the pocket. The other point is where you stand on the approach. It’s described by (A) the distance from the foul-line, and (B) the number of boards to the left or right of the center of the lane, also referred to as board #20 (see last week’s article). To find (A), place your ball on the return; you don’t need it yet. Walk to the foul-line and turn around so your back is facing the pins. Place your heels on the line of dots near the foul-line. If your delivery uses a standard 4-step approach, take 4 and 1/2 steps for- ward, turn and face the pins. If yours is a five-step approach, take 5 and 1/2 steps; a three stepper, take 3 and 1/2 steps...... you get the idea. Once you’ve turned, look down and note how far you are from the foul-line. Maintain- ing that distance, move to the center board. This will be identified as the board embedded with the largest dots in each row of dots. Place one of your feet directly on top of it: which one doesn’t matter. What does matter, is that you continue to use that same foot from now on. It will be referred to as your plant-foot. At this time, you have established two well-defined points, but you don’t know where they will take your ball. It’s time to find out! Pick up your ball, return your plant-foot to its previous position on board #20. Face the second arrow and deliver your shot at it. Make as many deliveries as necessary until you are certain the ball has indeed rolled over the 2nd arrow. Now, watch and see where it goes. It most likely WILL NOT go to the pocket. This is where self-coaching begins. If your ball hit the pocket solidly, there’s no need to change anything. If it did not, its path either went too far left, or too far right. What should you do? ADJUST!*** If the shot went too far left, prepare to make another delivery but return to your starting point and move your plant-foot to the left. If the shot went too far right, return to your starting point and move your plant-foot to the right. How much should you move to the right or left? That depends on how far off-target your ball was when it reached the pins. For the purpose of this exercise, move two boards and try again. Keep adjusting your stance two boards at a time until the ball rolls over the second arrow and into the pocket. When it does, you will have established the two points that create your own personal strike-line. Congratulations coach! To understand why this works, consider a compass with the needle pointing directly North. Of course, the other end of the pointer is aimed South. If the pointer moves to the east, the opposite end must relocate to the west. On a bowling lane the same action occurs with the path of your ball. That path is rep- Order your copy of The Essentials of Bowling: Approaching the Perfect Game from Amazon, Barnes & Noble resented by the compass needle; the pins are North, you are South, and the arrow you aim or any on-line book retailer.

It may take a number of shots to find the exact board you need to stand upon to hit the pocket consistently.**** Don’t get frustrated; don’t give up. Getting comfortable with spot-bowling doesn’t take long, but producing higher scores also requires technique which enables you to hit that 2nd arrow consistently. We will deal with that next. Tune in next week when we will discuss how to aim your shot more effectively. * Hitting the pocket does not guarantee strikes; it merely increases your chances of getting one. Ideally, a ball entering the pocket at a 2 degree angle heading directly at the center of the five-pin produces the best chance of striking. ** You have to start somewhere. The second arrow is a good choice, but so is the third arrow. You may even choose to aim between the second and third arrows. *** Changing stance location is the most common adjustment bowlers make. These adjustments are made by counting the number of boards your plant-foot must be moved on the approach. For instance, if you move your plant-foot from one dot to the next, you C.B.N.

Pickwick Bowl 921 Riverside Dr. Burbank, CA 91506 by Tish (818) 842-7188

BURBANK – Being the Director for the Pickwick Youth Bowling Program, I’ve had a few awesome experiences. My first, when Anthony Allen Ramos bowled a perfect game. Anthony went on to be a part of the Access Hollywood team on TV and now works with GLAD. This past Saturday was another when Brody LaRose, 14 years old, put the first 11 in a row for a 295! He had just been thinking of giving up the sport and now has a renewed hope. I can hardly wait to see where Brody goes from here. Congratulations, Brody!
