保齡球答問(五)


By Bill Hall

───────────────────────────────────────

Q.
Which do you consider more important, the surface
of the ball or the dynamics of the ball?

Q.
您覺得下列那個比較重要? 球面的處理還是球的動能?



A.
It is my opinion that the first thing that a bowler
should consider is the surface of the bowling ball. The
surface is what helps you control the speed of the ball.
The best way to describe this is to use a couple of
examples. When you are using a high friction surfaced
ball, the surface of the ball is actually cutting through
the oil and grabbing the lane so that the ball can slow
down enough to make a motion on the back end of the lane.
If you are using a low friction surfaced ball, you are
doing the exact opposite. The lower friction surfaced
ball is not creating friction, so the ball is maintaining
its speed. This allows the ball to not react to the surface
of the lane too early, to not roll out, and to not lose
it’s energy.

After you consider what surface bowling ball you need,
consider the type of dynamics that you are seeking. The
proper surfaced bowling ball allows the dynamics of the
bowling ball to work properly and assists the motion of
ball at the back end of the lane.

A.
我覺得球員首先該考慮的是球面的狀況，球面的光滑度可以
用來控制球速。以下面的例子來描述:高摩擦係數的球面會切開
球道上的油，咬住球道面，使球速慢下來，剛好可以在球道的後
段形成該有的運動反應。而低摩擦係數球面的情況則正好相反，
鏡面處理的球面比較無法產生足夠的摩擦力，球速較易維持，球
不會在球道面上太早反應，比較不會因為能量提早消耗，使得球
尾切直(roll out)。

先決定你需要的球面狀況後再來考慮球的動能，合宜的球面
處理可以讓球的動能在正確的時間點表現出來，使球的尾段反應
活潑而持續。

Q.
It is best to use cores that are symmetrical or asymmetrical?

Q.
對稱型或非對稱型的球心那種較好?



A.
There really isn’t one answer that fits all here.
There are some bowlers who do very well with certain
types of cores, others who do well only with symmetrical,
and those who do well only with asymmetrical. The main
thing is to try both types. If you find one that works
best with your roll, try to keep within the range of
that particular core.

A.
這個問題很難以一句話來概括，有些球員在打某一系列球心
的球時，會表現得特別好，其中有些是對稱型的，有些則是非對
稱型的! 主要還是得先把這兩種都試打看看，如果其中的一種打
起來特別上手，那無妨就鎖定在該類型的球心範圍內。

Q.
When considering ball layouts and pin placements,
should you use a variety of layouts and pin placements
or use a layout and pin placement that you feel fits
you best?

Q.
在考慮球的開法及pin的擺設位置時，採用不同的位置還是
固定在一個自己覺得最適合的位置上較好?


A.
As a general rule, you should keep the majority of
your ball layouts and pin placements within a tight
range of one another. However, you should use at least
one layout that is very different from what you normally
use. As an example, if you like a pin placement that is
above your fingers, the extreme would be to use a layout
where the pin placement is close to your positive axis
point. By the way, in most cases, having a pin placed
near your axis is a very nice layout when you bowl on a
short oil pattern. It’s also beneficial if you are
bowling on an oil pattern that is very wet in the center
of the lane, and very dry on the outside part of the
lane (over/under).

A.
一般說來，應該把大部份的球開在一個變化不大範圍裡，
但是，你至少要保留一顆和你平常的開法大不相同的球。舉例
來說，如果你喜歡把pin放上兩指指孔上方，這種不一樣的開法
就是把pin擺在正向軸心點pap的附近。還有，在大部份的情況下
，把pin擺在pap附近是應付短油時一個非常好的開球法。除此之
外，當球道的中間部份非常油而兩側非常乾，這種球也可以防止
球的反應不穏定(過度或不足)。

Q.
When do I know when the surface of the bowling ball
should be polished?

Q.
我如何知道球何時該重新作球面處理了呢?


A.
When lane surfaces were predominantly more wood than
synthetic, it was easy to see where the surface of the
ball was worn down and where the polish was taken off.
Now that lane beds are more synthetic than wood – which
you will read about in the lane section of this article –
it has become harder to see where the surface of the ball
has become worn down. Just because it appears that the
majority of the surface of the ball is shiny doesn’t mean
that there is still a shine on the ball track.

Instead of looking for track marks that were more
consistent with wood lane surfaces, you now have to
look for more of a ‘burn’ mark on the ball, When you
can recognize that there is a distinct dullness where
the ball has made contact with the lane in comparison
to the rest of the ball’s surface, than it’s time to
put a fresh shine on the surface of the ball.

A.
如果打的都是木板道，很少打纖維道，就很容易看出球面的
磨損，球面的亮度也無法維持太久。但目前纖維道球館的數量比
木板道多(和台灣相反)，要及時研判球面何時開始磨損就比較困
難些! 因為整顆球看起來還是亮晶晶的，不代表油線的部份也是
這個情形。在木板道上很容易造成的油線痕跡，到了纖維道就得
改看球上的’焦’痕了! 如果察覺到球與球道面接觸過的地方明
顯變得霧霧的，已經不再像球的其他部份那麼明亮，那就是需
要把球再作一次表面處理的時候了!

Q.
Even though you are a coach, are there other coaches
that you turn to for help with your game?

Q.
即使身為一位教練，你打球會想尋求其他教練的協助嗎? 他
們是那幾位?


A.
There are four coaches that I turn to for help with
my game; they are John Fantini, John Jowdy, Danny Wiseman,
and Norm Duke. These are the coaches who I have been around
the most and in whom I have faith and trust with my game.
There are many other excellent coaches out there; you must
find the best fit for you.

A.
有四位教練我會尋求他們的協助，他們是: John Fantini,
John Jowdy, Danny Wiseman, 和 Norm Duke。我常和他們在豁
在一塊兒，對於他們充滿信心與信任，除他們外還有很多非常棒
的教練，你必需找出那位最適合自己。

Q.
What advice would you give all bowlers about how to i
mprove their physical game?

Q.
對於如何提昇保齡球的球技方面，可以給球員一些建議嗎?


A.
There are several pieces of advice that bowlers should
consider:

If you want to be a good bowler and take you game to
the highest level possible, than be prepared to work very
hard, and don’t be afraid to take lessons.

After taking a lesson don’t expect miracles to happen.
Lessons can work either way on a bowler’s score. Sometimes,
they can lower your scores for a short period of time and
sometimes they can elevate your scores right away.The main
thing is that when you take a lesson, be sure you know exactly
what it is that you are trying to achieve.

If you have the proper tools available, film yourself at
least once a week, but also be sure that you know and understand
what you are looking for on your film.

Set goals for yourself and reach those goals one at a time.
Don’t get ahead of yourself and try to accomplish all of them
at once.Practice with purpose and bowl on as many different oil
patterns and lane surfaces as you can. This enhances your ability
to read a lane properly, which in my opinion is vital. When
bowling in tournaments, you don’t have the luxury of asking the
manager of the center to change the oil pattern so that it’s
better for you. All players will be competing on the same oil
pattern. Having experienced many types of oil patterns gives you
more confidence and knowledge of what to do to compete at a
high level.

A.
這裡有幾則建言:

如果想成為一位好球員，儘可能將自己的球技提昇到最高的水準，
得非常努力地練球，也不可害怕上課或參加講習。

上了課後，別期待奇蹟發生，它可能使球員的分數變好，也可能使
分數往下掉! 有時在上完課後的短時間內，成績反而會退步，但有時成
果會則馬上反映在分數的提昇上。如果手邊有適當的工具，至少一個禮
拜將自己打球的動作錄影一次，但是得清楚你在錄像中所要修正的動作
是在那一部份。替自己訂定目標，每次只針對一項來達成，不要訂下自
己能力範圍外的計劃，一次想要完成所有的改善項目。

練習時要有個預設的目的，知曉練習的重點是在那一部份，儘量挑
選不同的油層及不同材質的球道，使自己能適應多樣化的賽道，個人覺
得這點非常關鍵。比賽時，你可沒有請球館經理改變油況來迎合自己打
法的特權。常經驗各種不同油況的球道，才可以使你在高水準的競賽中
有較多的自信心及應變的常識。
