Bowling Etiquette : Bowling Tip ° Observe a one lane courtesy rule. Don't step onto your approach until after the person who's using the lane next to you is finished rolling their ball. ° Don't make any loud or sudden noises while others are on the approach. They're most-likely trying to concentrate. ° Don't bring drinks into the approach area [This includes ten feet from the console]. Wet shoes can ruin yours or anyone elses approach. ° Have a happy heart. It's contagious. ° Don't use profanity, it ruins others' time. The Release : Bowling Tip Now, we're into one of the most important factors in building a solid game! The release is extremely important. Many bowlers have such bad fundamental habits but still manage to bowl well because they have a strong release. Having equipment that is perfectly matched to you, is critical. You can have thousands of dollars worth of equipment and have a great approach and armswing and still bowl terrible. The release is about 70% of your game. This is the area of bowling that dictates how your ball is going to react. Some bowlers feel that changing releases is vital to bowling well (Only recommended for the very advanced bowler). Others believe that you use the same release time & time again to build consistency and let equipment help with lane conditions. Balance Body For Solid Finish : Bowling Tip On the last step bend your knee to get down lower to the lane and slide your foot straight towards the foul line making sure it doesn't turn. Think of it as sliding into a deep knee bend. Counter balance your body by moving your non-sliding leg sideways to the opposite side of your bowling arm. Practice, Practice, Practice : Bowling Tip When practicing, try not to keep score. Just concentrate on your weak areas and fine tune your good ones. There is no reason to go to the lanes and continually try and throw strikes when in the league you missed 6 or 7 spares that you should have made. Maybe you should be practicing that, or something else you're weak at. |
