Bowling tips to improve your bowling game
In the process of learning how to bowl,
people often overlook key elements such as arm swing, lower body
leverage and other things that you would think that wouldn't be
needed when it comes to the game of bowling. Leaving any of the tips
that I listed below out of your game at the lanes will hinder you
from bowling at your maximum potential. It's not hard at all, just
applying a few of the tips at a time will change your game
drastically. So apply each, one step at a time and you'll get the
full effect when you step on the lanes next time.
I am going
to give you some bowling tips that you can use to improve your game
drastically, go ahead and give them a try.
Tip 1 - Keep that
arm swing loose
Remember first and foremost, keep your grip
relaxed in the ball. To avoid the muscled arm swing don't squeeze
your fingers or thumb. To avoid this it's best to head down to a pro
shop and get a ball fitted and drilled correctly so you can have a
relaxed thumb. Like I said, you don't want to have to squeeze the
ball because your thumb doesn't fit.
Tip 2 - Use your lower
body leverage It is absolutely necessary that you bend your knees in
bowling. Make sure to bend your knee to get lower to the lane on the
last step.
Tip 3 - Finish close to the foul line
The
closer you are to the foul line the less energy you will have to
use. When you're all the way up to the foul line, you'll want to
have the ball a short distance over the foul line, which will result
in the ball making contact with the lane further down and it'll
preserve energy so you can knock down all the pins. The further you
are from the foul line the more energy you will have to use.
Tip 4 - Relax your thumb and come through with the ball
If you over lift, or turn the ball during the release it
will cause muscling or misdirection of your arm swing. So remember
relax your thumb and release the ball with the free arm swing,
finish close to the foul line and make sure you have good lower body
leverage.
Tip 5 - Bowling technique is all in the mind!
Visualize the lanes in your mind, define your good shots and
do them until they're near perfection.
Tip 6 - The drop off
method
Instead of pushing the ball away, hold the ball up at
the shoulder level then take a small step but do not move the ball
just let it drop down into the swing on the second step.
Tip
7 - Come up with your own style
Whatever you think helps you
make your bowling game better and gets you high scores, then by all means
use it. Apply the bowling techniques that work for you.
Tip 8 -
Watch how the pros do it
Turn to ESPN and watch the PBA
games. Study the styles and bowling techniques of the pros and use
them.
