Jeff Piroozshad's Expert Bowling Tips:
Mental Imaging 10/3/1999 - By Jeff Piroozshad
As much as many of us would like to, we just don't have the time or money to practice 20+ games a week. So how can we stay sharp and help fix problems without actually picking up a ball? Mental imaging. This is where that great imagination you developed as a kid comes in handy. Having problems with the ten pin? Imagine yourself shooting the ten pin and making the spare. Now do it again. And again. And again. Over and over. If you take a little time here and there, before you go to sleep, in the car pool in the morning, on the train or bus to work (don't miss your stop), you can actually help to train your muscle memory to execute shots better. Ever notice how you bowl better after watching the Pros on TV? This is part of the same theory. If you watch something positive repeatedly enough times, it actually becomes part of you. A pleasant side effect: making all those ten pins in your mind helps the confidence a great deal, especially with so many people having more negative thoughts than positive ones.
