Hi Everet. First congrats on trying out real bowling. It can be a lot of fun. I do not do it real often so I am therefore not all that great at it. What I usually do is to try to line up with either the left or right gutter and then move over a bit so that my right side is fairly centered. I do not do a walking approach because that is almost impossible to do without a rail which my local alleys do not seem to have. Biggest problem is staying consistant. I've been known to throw several strikes in a row with this method immediately followed by a gutter ball with no discernible change in technique. I think you will find that you get the most consistant results using a rail if you can get your hands on one. I intend to try to get my local alley to get one sometime.
Good luck.

Problem with that is that I made myself look like a complete fool much of the time because I couldn't find a good technique to gage where things were. I usually line up with the little ball dispensor thingy and head out about eight steps, then let 'er go. Anyone got any techniques they use to bowl in real life... that is, if anyone relaly does bowl in real life here. This list is pretty eclectic as far as age range and interests, so I figured I"d give it a try. Thanks guys. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
