PJ Haggerty also got a couple Twisted Fury's with the
mass out by his VAL. We drilled these up before the TQR
and have really opened up his eyes in how to use the
ball more effectively. The masses in the 55 and 70
degree range have not been as usable for PJ because they
can over react to the friction and make him use angles
and length wise windows that don't match up to his roll
as well. |
We also drilled a Fury Pearl for PJ that has
allowed him to not use his earlier rolling covers as
much. PJ's favorite balls look good during the early
week practice sessions only to confuse him as the week
goes along. PJ has a Strike Zone that he really likes
and when he is not comfortable with his look he is quick
to put this ball on the rack. This is a common learning
curve on tour and the only way to learn it is to go
through it. I don't force this experience on bowlers who
have confidence and success stories coming in. I spoon
feed them so they can keep their instincts. Because
trusting their instincts is something I never want them
to lose. |
It is important to note that I think PJ is progressing
well. His hand and arm-swing are cleaning up. The next
thing I need him to do is to use the field to help him
make some of his choices. I can not be there to listen
to his thought processes during transition and his
instincts are to try and make the ball hook more with
his hand, which ultimately lead to angles and balls that
don't strike enough to get where he wants to be. As his
hand and swing clean up his instinctive moves will
change. During the process he needs some feedback on his
thoughts. I am asking him to slow down the thought
process and use the field to verify his thoughts. |
