Learning #3

For 6 decades of your author's bowling center awareness the word "Timing" has been uttered as an excuse for bowling poorly... "My timing was off tonight" ... literally millions of times.  And in 99-plus percent of those utterances the speaker had no idea of what was wrong with the Timing or even if the problem was Timing or something else.  Clearly Timing is the least understood and most abused word in our bowling language.

Placing the blame upon "Bad Timing" as an easy scapegoat cannot be faulted by listeners because they , too, make the mistake of judging Timing, good, satisfactory or bad, by how the ball feels at the point of release.  That part of the process is simple to feel, but the cause of the feeling isn't possible to diagnose as happening at that point because several physical happenings prior to the moment normal for the release can be the causes of "bad" timing, which then affects the release in a negative way.  Net/net, "good" timing may be felt or witnessed at the point of release, but "bad" timing cannot be similarly judged at this important moment because it originates earlier in the shotmaking effort.  The principle is similar to adding a column of numbers and getting an incorrect total.  One cannot blame the total if one of the numbers in the column is incorrect or incorrectly registered.
