Weird, right?

Whenever I'm bowling next to one of those guys who makes a big deal about bowling, a lot of them make a popping sound with their mouth at the moment where they release the ball.

Is it like something some famous bowler does? Or is it some kind of weird zen thing to help them focus? If I start doing it will my game improve? My current average is 120 and I have no curve ball.

They are centering their internal power, also known as chi, and ejaculating it in a focusing burst not unlike some martial artists.

In bowling, you want to give your ball some extra power right as you throw it

in fact, the most successful bowlers all have catchphrases they exclaim at the moment they launch the ball, including such famous bowlers as

terry "let 'er have it" stevens
sam "launch that boy" errols
dan "bowlin time" jackson and
pete "smashing pins" porter

first read the title as "what's up with the pooping sound semi-pro bowelers make when they release" and this made even more sense

Having an offhand thumb up your butt hole improves precision, accuracy and handling, it's science.

I give a devastating ki shout (kiai). If there's a lot of spin sometimes I'll also shout "GET THERE"

I shouted "DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME YOU gently caress!" after a long string of open frames and I finally scored a strike.

Yeah so you've heard it too.

I thought it might be that but I thought you weren't supposed to jam your thumb all the way in?

competitive bowling is funny. theyre just playing their own single player game and the only interaction is comparing scores. if thats a sport then theres an argument for paddle-ball being a sport

It's so the pins can't hear the release. They've been at this long enough to be able to tell where the ball will hit them from the sound of their fingers coming out of the holes alone before it even makes contact with the lane.

There are little rubber inserts in the finger holes that make it easier to spin/get more wrist action on the ball.

House balls are balanced to go straight down the lane, pro balls are weight balanced to spin. :spergin: :spergin: :spergin:

you mean that event that was based (with historical significance) on the idea of individual excellence and not on pretending to be a sport? why would we have to end that?
