The awesomest bowling style ever

greybetaI've been busy with the Leadership weekend for the BSU. I enjoyed seeing old faces again.
Unfortunately, I was really tired throughout most of it. I've recently picked up a really bad habit...thinking too much before sleeping. Before I know it I'm picking up less than four hours of sleep a night. Could someone comment on a cure for me?
I'm not up for introspection in my current state, so I'm going to touch on a light subject. We went bowling yesterday, so I got to use my amazing stutterstep technique. I would describe it in three steps. First, I dance a little in a twinkletoes fashion to set myself. Then, I fling the ball forward with a backhanded forward motion, relying on my wrist to keep it straight. I finish it off by arching my right foot up and hopping on my left foot to avoid the foot fault.
On second thought, only those who have seen it can describe how great it is.
The problem with my style is that it's fairly difficult to actually control the ball. My aim has to be straight, but a little off center for maximum effectiveness. Because I rely on a backhanded motion, I can't really put any side spin on the ball. My wild, exaggeration finishing motion often pulls my ball too far to the left. Yesterday, I started off with a strike but I followed that up with a double gutter. I ended up with six gutterballs, but I finished with triple digits at 102. That's not too bad.
It's like Stevo says, I should keep my style because I like doing it. After all, it can't be that bad of a style if it was inspired by Fred Flintstone.
