Wecker bowls 300; Roberts close

The women's tournament will be held the weekends of February 2-3 and 9-10 at Crown Lanes.

The Joplin Open, which is open to both men and women, will be held Feb. 16-17 and 23-24 at the Fourth Street Bowl.

Bowl East will host the tourney for junior bowlers on April 5-6 and 12-13.

Entry blanks should be available soon.

———

After struggling this past week with a timing problem, this bowler turned to one of my two “bibles” for southpaws: Mike Aulby's bowling tips provided by bowling buddy and fellow lefty, Bill Byrd.

Aulby writes that most men tend to release the ball early. The result is that an early release doesn't take full advantage of the power in the sliding leg and that causes a bowler to sacrifice leverage. The end product, Aulby writes, is "weak" hits such as soft 7s (for lefties) and soft 10s (for right-handers) and/or 5-pins.

Late timing, according to Aulby, occurs when the slide ends before the ball is released. Often, the ball is dropped downward into the lane, resulting in lost power. A late release could cause a bowler to be light or miss the entire headpin. Aulby recommends practice, practice, practice to cure timing problems.

Mike must have had me in mind when he penned “the bowler who really struggles is the one who is in time on one shot, early the next, and then late the shot after that.”
