Muscle memory is the most important factor! The only thing in your control is the time between when you address the lane and release the ball. Anything else that happens is purely for observation. How one interprets that information, ie. what happens in the heads and backend may change your stratergy, but if you cannot REPEAT your swing, you will have difficulty being the best you can be! Do whatever it takes to remain the same. Body temperature, heart rate, energy level, arousal level, all have the potential to contribute to change in the way you deliver the ball. Control these things, and you will repeat your swing. Adjust for observations made on the lane and pin deck, and hit the pocket more often. Become less reliant on steering the ball to an arrow or board as a target, and focus on repeating your swing. Many expressions become cliche'd in bowling, and who doesn't love to throw the big hook ball, but all you would need to do is watch Cara deliver the ball, and it is quite obvious! Play what the lane demands, and let your muscles repeat what you have trained them to do! These principals I try to focus on, and after 7 years away from the game, averaging over 205 at one of Adelaides more difficult AMF centres bowling once a week, I still believe these lessons taught by Eric Jang and Dick Richter, are PURE. See how you go!
