January 2016 - www.bowlingworld.com 23 ASK BOB By Bob Korth

Q. I seem to bowl great in league but whenever I try a tournament things never see to go well. I have tried to stay positive and not lose my confidence but nothing seems to work. Help!

A. I can tell by what you wrote above that you have lost confidence before you get to the lanes. I have a friend who calls this “STINKIN THINKIN”. You start with when I go to a tournament nothing seems to go well. Bad start you already expect that nothing will go well. You try to stay confident, meaning you are already not confi- dent. You are putting your efforts into your scoring over making quality shots. Next tournament forget about how you might finish and just make the best shots you can each time. If you don't strike make the spare. Take each frame as though it is a full game. This way you can quit thinking ahead. You can't bowl the tenth frame before bowling the first frame. All the frames of a game are the most important. It is easier to get one strike than it is to get ten strikes in a row. Thinking too far ahead is too much pressure for anyone. If you take away that pressure your game and confi- dence will improve.

Q. I am just your average league bowler and my bowling balls are over a year old and have quit hooking. My higher average friends have told me that heating the ball can get the oil build up out and the ball will hook again. I want to put it in the oven, what temperature is best to get this done?

A. Please! Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT try to bake your ball in the oven. A few years ago I was in a pro shop when one of our league bowlers came in and asked if I could fix his ball. He had tried to bake it in the oven to get out the oil. The ball was all rippled and looked like an over ripe orange. I had to inform him that the repair for this is a “NEW” ball. So he had to fork over $200 instead of the $25 to $35 to have his ball rejuvenated and resurfaced in our shop. There is a ball rejuvenator, that uses heat in most shops and they do work. The heat is very low and the ball 12 Brunswick Lanes with Quibica Scoring spins around to keep the heat even. Then after most shops will resurface the ball 12 Bumper lanes / Birthday Parties and can bring it back to almost new condition. So the moral of this story is save Deli & Grill Serving Assorted Beers & Wines yourself some money let your pro shop experts take care of your ball. Completely Remodeled

Q. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to practice? Sunday thru Thursday • 9am till 12am A. The best thing you can do to increase your scores is to increase accuracy and Friday and Saturday • 9am till 2am make more spares. With that in mind when you practice the first thing is don't keep Tel: (415) 561-2695 Fax: (415) 561-2698 score. Work on your spare shooting this will help you to get more spares and also Corner of Moraga & Montgomery Streets helps with accuracy for the first ball. Now here is my favorite tip for practice, this In the Presidio National Park of Terry Leong—Proprietor was a tip I got from a coach and friend of mine Las Vegas. Save money on your San Francisco Darrell Herbert - General (Still can’t find us, call us, we’ll fax you a map) practice by shooting at your spares first. Go for the 10 pin or the 7 pin. Then shoot Manager for your strike mark . This way you are getting two shots every frame, all you get for a strike is one less shot. Save those shots and save money.
