I know that feeling well, especially if you don't have someone bowling against you on your paired lane.

Always slow down, take your time. Rushing yourself only hurts you in the end. This is what I tell the kids I teach anyway.

Are you using the prototypical three-step approach? Or just kind of winging it as far as form goes?

And honestly, if you can hold around a 75-80 in your first league, you're doing pretty well. Especially in summer, pins don't fall nearly as well with the humidity. Generally speaking a candlepin league average is right around 85 and 90% of league bowlers are under 100.
