PAGE 2 CALIFORNIABOWLINGNEWS.COM MARCH 7, 2019 The Perfect Game by Steve Felege A California Bowling News Exclusive I recently had an idea that might help many bowlers who self-diagnose as having severe, “C.I. Syndrome;” a malady which causes “Consistent Inconsistency.” Typically, such bowlers are much better than their low averages indicate. There may finally be a cure for this affliction; I call it, “DiagrammingYour Delivery.” It’s a simple process which doesn’t involve modifying your technique or learning new ones (let’s face it, after all these years, your delivery is what it is). It also doesn’t cost anything or involve endless hours of practice time, but could significantly improve your average. It’s based on the concept that every veteran bowler has a consistent skill-set, but may not be consistent with how they SILVER RIDER CHARITY prepare to use it. Diagramming allows you to do just that. If you’re interested in trying something new and different, here’s all you need to do. BOWLING TOURNAMENT The next time you bowl, grab a scrap of paper and a pencil (both are readily available at most bowling centers). MARCH 24 - Near the top of that paper, draw seven dots in the shape FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: of a V.
