I've really been enjoying being outdoors so far this summer, but what did I do over the 4th of July weekend? You guessed it, bowling. Well, not the whole time, but I did go out with a few friends on Sunday night to a local alley. (I did spend the 4th itself actually outside...)
Since I was visiting one of my friends for the weekend, I didn't have my ball or shoes, but I didn't let is phase me! I picked the best house ball I could find and just went at it. After two or so frames of straight bowling, I decided to spin with two fingertips. I see a lot of bowlers use this strategy regularly, and while it can look impressive and seem effective, it really isn't a consistent technique.
But for me on this day, boy was it working! We only bowled two games, and I got 200+ for each. In the first game, I got hot and hit about 5 strikes in a row; in the second, I racked up spare after spare, with a few strikes at the end. It felt great, but I couldn't help but miss my own equipment a lot. Oh well, I'm sure there will be plenty more bowling for me this summer!
