Hi Diandra. I am a 185+ bowler, although I am down 10 pins in my average from last season, I am having trouble with dropping my shoulder upon release and topping the ball, meaning I am not staying behind all the way. This is really messing with my head and I am getting fusterated with it because I know I am a better bolwer than this. Do you have a suggestions or pointers you could share? Many thanks in advance! Joe
Question: I average 198 and have always thrown a 15 lb ball, however my reactive ball after a few years began to not hook as much. I wanted to get an Inferno but could only find a 14 lb since it's out of production. I'm having a difficult time adjusting to the weight and not throwing it very well as this change has created major timing troubles. I'm wondering if I would be better off sticking with 15 lb than trying to fix my timing? I threw 5 games yesterday and could not make my average once. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Question: Hi Diandra. I am a 200+ average bowler & a lifelong Linds wearer. I'm starting to have foot problems and I'm looking at the Etonic brand. My problem is Etonics lack of wide selections. I wear shorts year round & the dress shoe Etonic would look kind of silly on me. I don't want to sacrifice performance & go with an entry model shoe. Any idea if & when Etonic will expand the wide selections? Please don't make me go with Dexter! I hate Dexter! Many thanks in advance. Gary.
Question: I've been throwing the bowl really well lately and hitting the pocket quite often. The problem is I leave a lot of 10 pins. I try to stay behind the ball and not come over the top. It seems like i don't have enough side rotation. How do I get more side rotation without topping the ball?
Thank you. Lou.
Question: I am interested in becoming a professional bowler. I haven't really bowled for a six years. I started bowling a few weeks ago and the spark is back into me. Back when i quit when i was 18 i avg 190's and increasing, i'm really good at tournaments. I"m not in a league but was wondering what would be a sensible way to get back into condition and see if I can make it professional. What would you advise?
