Bowling Tips Print E-mail

When Under Pressure  : Bowling Tip
When under pressure, think of making a good shot, not a great one. Emphasizing perfect execution is not only asking too much of yourself in such a situation, it is not even necessary.

Can't Carry The Corners?  : Bowling Tip
Ever hear "why is everybody carrying but me?" There is a reason for this. There is a very fine line between knocking them all down and not. This is usually a very simple process. If hitting the pocket on a regular basis and carry is less than 40%, try moving your eyes closer to the foul line on the same target line you are using. This will get the ball into an earlier roll which could fix the problem. If this does not seem to work, move your target down the lane a few feet. This will usually give the ball a little more skid and produce more power towards the back of the lane. Remember that carry is not luck, it is produced by being lined up correctly. One person is not luckier than the other. They are just lined up correctly. It's not how many times you hit the pocket, but how.

Knowing The Oiling And Stripping Schedule  : Bowling Tip
Know the oiling and stripping schedule of the center to anticipate lane conditions changes. A lane that is freshly cleaned and oiled represents a condition that is most volatile and will require quick and frequent adjustments as the oil carries down the lane.

Experience Gained From Other Sports  : Bowling Tip
Experience gained from other sports can carry over to help your bowling game and vise-versa. For instance, bowlers who also play golf often equate how timing, tempo and fluidity of movement are the keys to generating power in lieu of brute strenght.

The Golden Rule of bowling: Move in the direction of the miss

Making adjustments is part of bowling. Knowing this and being prepared to make changes often will give you an edge on the competition.

The bowlers Golden Rule is to move in the direction of the miss, while keeping the same target on the lane. The concept of this adjustment is based on the use of a pivot, with the pivot being the target on the lane. If the ball misses to the left of the intended pin(s), move left on the approach. If the ball misses to the right of the intended pin(s), move right on the approach.

Bowlers often will need to make this adjustment several times during a match. To do so, a bowler must be aware of his or her starting point on the approach and how the ball was released.
