Here are bowling tips and techniques you can learn to replicate that magic moment and bowl a strike over and over again.
Where do you begin? Right where you stand! Literally, your foot placement is absolutely fundamental to your success. Even if you do everything else correctly, if your feet are not where they need to be, the ball won’t go where it needs to either.
Step up to the swing! Cradle your ball and retract your arm. You’re just four steps away from bowling your first strike ball! If you are right handed, step with your right foot, then with your left foot. As you step with the left foot your ball arcs downward. Take your third step with your right foot as the force of the ball lifts your arm upwards. Release the ball and use your left leg as a counterweight to keep your balance.
Release the ball! It’s important to release the ball at the proper time. If you release too soon, your ball will start rolling too soon and it won’t have enough energy to knock the pins down. If you release on the upswing, you’re likely to divot the lane at worst, and roll into the gutter at best. The best time to release the ball is just as centrifugal force begins to guide the ball upward. You’ll feel it in your hand as gravity begins to pull at the weight of the ball. Be sure your wrist is straight and relaxed and that you’re aiming for the strike zone.
Follow it through. As you release the ball, remember to NOT look at it. Your eyes should remain fixed on your target and your arm should continue its upward arc until after the ball has been released. It happens all too often when a beginner pulls his arm back quickly and watches the ball, only to have it roll off course. Don’t let that happen to you! Where your eyes are looking is where your shoulders and feet are usually pointing.
