Hey Kurt, just wanted to tell you I love my new ball and my grip is great! First game was a 197 then a 178. Not bad for a brand new ball. My release is like night and day.
Thank you,
~Mike A.

PRO TIPS from Verity Crawley

There are many ways to improve. Here are a few:
- Go and practice. But don’t just go and throw shots. Have a purpose to your practice sessions. Structure them to focus on certain elements of you game
- Learn your strengths and weaknesses. Who are you as a bowler? What can you be better at? Do you know what your A game is?
- Start to be aware of your mental game. That means more than just telling everyone ‘I need to work on my mental game’. Figure out what is holding you back. Is it confidence? Is it negative thoughts?

Remember, you will never throw the ball like anyone else. You are your own bowler. What can you do, to better yourself?
