Top 10 Bowling Tips

You’ve probably heard these before, and since bowlers enjoy dispensing advice, you will undoubtedly hear them again. Performing any one of these simultaneously is more difficult than performing any one of them separately. All of these are supposed to become automatic so that when you begin your approach, you won’t have to think about any of them. A lot of practice is necessary for this (see tip #9). Below are the top 10 bowling tips you might didn’t know

 

#1 Concentration

Since all of the others depend on concentration, it is listed first. Distractions, issues at work, school, or home, discomfort (like wearing tight clothing), among other factors, can cause you to lose focus at the last minute. One strategy is to use a watch and count to four. This gives you a familiar object to focus on and enhances your “timing,” even though the extra time may not be what makes a difference. When the second hand has completed counting four ticks, shift your attention to your mark and start approaching. As long as you don’t have to significantly adjust the position of your watch arm, this will work.

#2 Shoulders Square

Keep your shoulders square to the foul line at all times for reliable deliveries. Every time the ball can be sent wide with a “dropped” shoulder. This frequently occurs when people rush into an approach. During delivery, keep your approach speed moderate and pay attention to your shoulders.

#3 Back Straight

It seems instinctive to bend over when setting down a 16-pound object, but it is crucial to maintain a reasonably straight back for a consistent delivery. This is one of the hardest things to learn to do automatically.

#4 Arm Straight And Near Body

One of the main causes of an inconsistent game is bending your elbow and swinging it away from your body. As long as the inside of your elbow is pointing down your lane and not at the cafe, a slight elbow bend to obtain lift is acceptable.

#5 Knee Bent

Starting your slide with a bent knee and straightening it as you release the ball might seem natural. Although it will give you more lift, this is just one more thing you must get right if you want to bowl consistently. To earn more points, stay close to the foul line.

#6 Slide Straight

For proper ball delivery, your balance is a must-have. You must always maintain a perpendicular approach and slide to the foul line in order for this to occur.

#7 Follow Through!

To serve as a constant reminder, I had these two words inscribed on one of my bowling balls. The main cause of subsequent subpar releases is most likely this. It’s not difficult to bowl an entire game before realizing that you are not carrying out your intentions. After you release the ball, stop and look at the position of your arm. It should be about head high with your thumb pointing over your own shoulder.

#8 Watch Your Ball Cross The Mark

As long as you concentrate on something, it doesn’t matter if you concentrate on a mark or a section of the lane. In order to prevent rushing out of your approach, “hold that pose” until your ball crosses over that line.

#9 Practice, Practice, Practice

And once you’ve finished, continue to practice. If you only do something once a week, it’s difficult to be consistently good at it. Request the assistance of a friend to watch you approach, or, if you can, set up a camera. What you see will surprise you!

#10 Have Fun!

This is here just in case the other nine do not work. You don’t have to average 200 to have a great time!
