Fourth Career 300 For Dean Shattuck
Monticello right-handed power bowler Dean Shattuck is a competent knowledgeable kegler and his keen savvy of lane conditions along with the recent purchase of a new bowling ball produced his fourth career 300 game December 23 in the Kiamesha Lanes Wednesday Men's league.
The perfect game was bowled on lanes 5 and 6.
Several years ago he was one of the strong proponents of a shot change for the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Dean noted that there was a need to change the oil pattern (or lane shot) because of the fact that the former easy house pattern produced averages that were not real.
"We needed a truer shot pattern", Shattuck noted at that time.
Several weeks ago Dean purchased a new MoRich LevRG bowling ball and the change proved successful December 23 when in the first game of the night he pounded the maples for 12 strikes in a row. All 12 strikes were in the pocket but Dean did acknowledge that two were on the "light" side but carried.
The December 23 scores for the 47-year-old Shattuck were 300, 231, 213, 744.
Dean's third career 300 was bowled on January 30, 2008, also in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes with scores of 300, 238, 237, 771.
His previous high series was a 792. He scored his second career 300 game on February 21, 2007 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Dean is a member of the board of directors of the Tri-County NY USBC and this is the only league he bowls in. He maintains a 223 average.
He bowls with the Trade Star In't team comprised of George Battle Jr, Frank Muller Jr. Alan Jones and Larry Berens. Dean has been bowling for over 27 years.
Dean is married to Kelly and they have one daughter, Karla.
Employed as an electrician in Rockland County Dean also owns and operates his own electrical contracting business.
The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This weeks tip will help you execute and repeat good shots by having your body set properly so that you can use the laws of physics to roll the ball and eliminate tension in your swing.
As I've mentioned in previous columns, too much upper body and head movement make it very difficult to repeat shots.
The purpose of the stance is to place the body in an athletic position, eliminate all unnecessary movements during the approach and reduce TENSION.
Resting forearms against the body, in the stance, will help reduce tension in the upper body.
How do we do this?
Here are the four steps in the proper order for setting posture.
1. Set the feet (toward your break point).
2. Set your head (tilted over the ball).
3. Set your posterior (this is your balance point as you are swinging a heavy object).
4. Set the ball position close as noted above.
You are now in position to start a smooth approach. Maintain your body position and let the ball swing under your shoulder. You will find this easy to repeat shot after shot.
Note: Watch the PBA and note the body positions but keep in mind that your exact body position may vary to accommodate different physiology. Also, if your ball does not fit, it will be difficult to eliminate tension from your swing.
