These mofos do it every year, man. First snow and they either drive 5 mph in the left lane or the SUV soccer mom doing 98 mph because they have 4 wheel drive

Lein, why would you have a beginning bowler use a fingertip ball?

While bowling is not usually a difficult sport to become competent at, it's frustrating when the ball doesn't go where you want it to... (gutter ball).

I was told that a finger-tip ball was more for accomplished bowlers and you would /could graduate to that after mastering the basics (approach, release, etc). Maybe I'm a little confused, it's been a while since I went bowling, but I had a 16lb Hammer and a 15 lb Beast I used, neither of which is a fingertip ball. Hell, I had a hard time breaking 160....

When I started bowling, I thought the objective was to see how far you could toss a 16 pounder before it came down. I could get it about 3/4 way down the alley. I was told pretty quick that was not supposed to be part of the plan... LOL

It was just the way I was taught. I had her learn a basic 4 step approach. We are working on rotations now and sliding properly. She was adament on me teaching her how to bowl and hook a ball. So I got her a medium/dry ball with a little potential and got her a fingertip grip. She hasn't complained at all. Just throwing your typical backup ball for someone who is new to the grip. We will work that out this weekend. I figured it would be easier having her just use fingertip now and get use to it instead of going conventional and then switching over later.
