Follow These Easy Tricks and Tips to Hit the High Score
It takes practice, but with patience and regularly using these tricks, you’ll be bowling strikes in no time!
1. Choose the Right-Sized Ball
The wrong size can send your game to the gutter. When it comes to choosing a ball, stick with the 10% rule. The ball should be around 10% of your body weight, with a maximum of 160 lbs or a 16-lb ball. You also want to ensure that the finger holes aren’t too tight or too loose. A good grip is needed for a good roll!
2. Check Your Stance
For a consistent ball delivery, always keep your shoulders square. Dropping your shoulders will often send the ball wide. You also want to keep your back straight, even though your natural instinct may be to have a slight bend to accommodate for holding a heavy ball. Last, keep your arm straight and close to your body. A slight bend is okay, just make sure that your inner elbow is pointed down the lane, not behind you.
3. Find Your Sweet Spot
Use the dots and arrows on the lane to figure out where you should aim the ball. Don’t just try to aim straight down the middle! Many bowlers start at the second arrow to the right. Pay attention to how the ball travels down the lane and adjust your starting position accordingly.
