Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording and researching bowling shot information. A bowler records information relative to the making of the bowling shot on a portable computing device. The bowling shot information includes bowling lane conditions on which the shot was made, equipment used by the bowler in making the shot, the bowler alignment in making the shot and the trajectory of the bowling ball down the lane towards the pin set. The bowling shot information is stored in the computing device memory and later retrieved by the bowler, enabling the bowler to immediately adjust his or her alignment and bowling shot-making strategy when later encountering similar lane conditions.
