J. "Wheels," work with meeeeee! :-) A bowling ball has to have eyes and if the ball is looking to the left out of your hands then its going to go left! Make the ball look forward more down the lane. Break your wrist down just a little. Going up in weight is not often the answer at first. Learning how you should deliver the ball is best action to take. Heavy is not better. Light enough for you to deliver the ball very well, is best.

[email protected] I would love to be your guide to better scores! Hold off on the ball just a minute "unless" you have a certified coach watching you! Obviously you have some major reservations or you would not have written to me. I learn to listen to my bowlers over the years!
The scheme of training according to me should be: Your body, the ball, the lanes and then your eyes. After four months lets get you on a roll first! I have helped several wheelchair athletes in my time to get started on the lanes. So I'm not scare partner!!!! :-)
