What happened? I mean... WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!?! Well, I actually know what happened. I'm trying to use the same technique that was working for me with the crappy house balls as I'm using with my new ball. This, of course won't work because of the way the ball is drilled, the different way I hold it, the different effect of the weights on when the ball is released, etc.
Anyhow, the whole time I'm bowling today, I just felt completely uncomfortable with the ball. It was like I kept trying to adjust what I was doing to find something that felt good and that I could use, but I never got there. It was really weird and disorienting.
I went with three guys from my office and bowled a 56 and a 66. Ugh. That's just awful. But again, I'm not so much worried about my score as I am about my technique. So even though my scores were horrible, what I'm irritated with is that I can't find my comfort zone with my approach and release of the ball.
All that being said, I'm not actually that disappointed. Sure, I would have loved to gone on out my first try with the new ball and bowl a 150 or better, but that wasn't realistic. And if I'm going to look at it realistically, I know that it's just going to take more time and practice.
And the most important thing is that I had a great time.
