Addicted for Bowling

My life all this while is just more about sports, sports and sports. And currently, my love for sports, especially, not to mention , bowling is getting deeper ever since I discovered how to hook a bowling ball, which most of the professional players do and it ignites me to practice more and more in order to be like them someday HaHa~~. It took me about a year just to learn how to hook, not "how to hook well". Quite long huh??

After knowing how to hook, I patronize the bowling centre more frequently with my coursemates, hoping to improve my hooking skill and my shot consistency. My visit to bowling centre from 2-3 times per month drastically increase to 5 times per week. Since I only owns a motorcycle <-- poor me , I was only able to hitch only 1 friend with me. Hence I always hitch a different victim with me every single time i went to the bowling alley =p

It's quite frustrating to throw the ball directly towards the gutter after knowing how to hook. I frequent to youtube to look for bowling tournaments and guidelines videos to replace the coach. Hopefully my effort will not be a waste because most of the people in the internet during my refined search about bowling, saying that coach is always better than self-learning. It's true since coach is able to detect mistakes on the spot so that these mistakes will not become habits which will greatly affect one's bowling scores. Well forget about that, I am the person who goes with the saying "Practice Makes Perfect". I believe that I will be able to be a professional bowler someday if I practice hard and smart and these videos are actually a stepping stone for me to achieve my goal^^
