Bowling Technique-LOOKING AT THE PINS


After years of trying, I still want to raise my head to look up at the pins. If you look at the pins, then your not watching the bowling ball roll over your mark. This usually causes the bowling ball to miss your mark. This bowling technique will help your consistency. By keeping your head down when releasing the bowling ball, you will be able to watch the bowling ball hitting your mark and improve your scores. Bobble Head is the bowling term used. I guess, I'm still a Bobble Head.

DOING TOO MUCH-Bowling Tip.


Getting older, I still try to throw the ball with a lot of lift. My hand and shoulder can't do it any more. So I'm working on a smoother and less exaggerated delivery. A smoother style is a more consistent approach to your bowling game. Watching the Professionals Bowlers, who bowl 50 or so games every week, use a efficient style not only for consistency but to save their bodies from the wear and tear of power bowling. So the bowling tip would be, to model yourself after another bowler you look up to. If that style fits your style, try it! Don't reinvent the wheel, if there is a style, you can fit in to.

Throwing too hard-Bowling Tip.


When the bowling lanes get dry, my ball hooks more and is harder to control. After moving over more and more with no help, I try to roll a straighter ball to cut down on the curve. I didn't realize that I was throwing the ball harder and harder to increase the speed, so the ball would curve later down the lanes. The bowling tip was given by my team mate, who pointed out that my increased speed was the problem. And that is why, I was consistently missing my mark, too. So instead of fighting the dry lanes, I went to a bowling ball that curves less, which decreased my speed and greatly helps my ball control. Sometimes a your friend sees the problem way before you do.
