Well, I face off against my boss in bowling...so I might just have to let that one slide. My cube neighbor has it worse (or better, depending on how you look at it) he has to box against him.

So is the key to just act like you're really bowling?

Tennis is pretty tough to get used to, you definitely need to practice that one.

For Bowling just remember your overall form, steps and stuff don't help. Power and speed is determined by speed of the Wii remote, so a short quick release without a lot of backswing will normally give you good power. You do need some practice time to get used to it.

Thanks. Good to know! I think my first event is Friday. I'll try to find some time to practice tomorrow

Just for fun, take a big backswing and let go of the ball in the backswing and watch what happens, pretty funny. (It won't hurt your score).

In tennis don't forget to use your backhand. In bowling, you should avoid bowling below 37.
