Today we wanted to give a special shoutout to one of our students we worked with last week. Tim Cambridge came to us last Monday, wanting to get more consistent with his shotmaking. After a few shots, we identified a bad pushaway (pushing too far and slightly to the right) and a swing that went behind the back and slightly muscled on the downswing. We worked on creating a more rounded pushaway that was pushed to the left, creating an outside swing that dropped naturally straight and close to the ankle for max leverage and consistency. Two days later and Tim sent us this photo, showing a 702 series with back to back games of 258 and 268 saying how much better his swing felt and how much easier it was execute good shots consistently.

If you would like to be a better shot maker, find a few extra pins in your average, bowl with less pain, enjoy bowling more, please give us a message or call us at 717-377-4848. You can also stop in at Snap It Off Pro Shop inside Doverama Lanes and talk to us Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to discuss your game and set up a lesson.

Wanted to give a shoutout to some students and clients successes the past couple of days:

First, a big shout out to Will Isaacs and his team for taking the win at the Baker Trios at Mid County on Sunday. Will has been working with us the past couple of months and has improved steadily.

Our next shout out goes to Kayla Tam for shooting her FIRST sanctioned 700 last night at Mid County! Kayla has been on a tear the last month and had shot a 700 previously, but was never sanctioned.

Finally, a shout out goes to Melvin Weathers and Kenny Armstrong at the doubles tournament at Doverama where they finished third. We recently refit both of them and drilled some new balls for them and they used their new balls (zen 25 for Melvin and Origin for Kenny) to shoot a big last game to jump to third place!

Congrats to all of our students and clients on their success and to many more! If you would like to see how we can work together to improve your game, give a call or shoot us a message today to get started!
