So, Where Do You Start?


When you step up to bowl, your pre-shot method ought to start with the alignment of your feet on the approach. This is important for reasons:

1. You can make adjustments at this point to be sure your ball gets to the strike pocket.
2. When you successfully hit your target & get a strike, you will know where to stand to do it again!

There's aspects to review when discussing the position of our feet when they first step on the approach: left-right position, front-back position & the relationship of the feet to each other.

First, the left-right position.Which foot ought to they use? I highly recommend the foot opposite the ball-side (left foot for right-handed bowlers & right foot for left-handed bowlers). Why? I am glad you asked...there are points on the approach that are important to be sure a consistent direction to your delivery. Where you start on the approach & where you finish. In the event you check your side-to-side position in your stance then find yourself left or right of that point at the finish, you have 'drifted' away from your beginning position. Drifting a few boards is acceptable if it is consistent with every delivery & the only way to measure this drift is to check your start & finish position using the same foot for both.

The front-back position is simple. You need to finish as close to the foul line as you can comfortably. Finish close & you risk committing a foul. Finish far back & your ball spends an unnecessary amount of time getting to the pins. The more time the ball spends on the lane, the less energy remains to take out that pesky ten pin (7 pin for you lefties).

Finally, the relationship of the feet to each other. I recommend the ball-side foot be placed back about half the length of the opposite foot with about a 3" seperation between the feet. Why? The ball-side foot drops back & carries the hips & the shoulder with it. This 'open' position allows the ball to swing basically past your side & also permits a higher backswing. A higher backswing? How? Another nice query...try this...stand upright together with your arms down to your sides. Together with your shoulders square, slowly swing your arms back as far as you can. You will find that you are limited on how far your arms will go. Now rotate shoulder (preferably the ball-side) back about 30 degrees. You can now make a complete circle together with your arm. When bowling, this allows for a free & simple backswing.

How To Walk Your Bowling Footwork Lines

Accuracy is linked to learning how to walk your bowling footwork lines. Good footwork, particularly for beginners and newcomers to the game, provides the core of a solid foundation and transportation mechanism to the foul line. If you wish to improve by learning how to walk your bowling footwork lines, then please focus on the following important keys which will help you sharpen your skills.

1. Length of Steps – Taking steps which match your normal walking stride usually produces a consistent approach to the foul line. The strategy is to not bounce or lose balance during your approach so you can make consistent and precise deliveries. Establishing the correct length of stride of your steps is essential so you achieve a solid footwork foundation from which to bowl. Bowlers 6 feet in height and using a four step approach will typically cover about 12 feet plus perhaps 6 inches more allowing for the slide. Since the set of guide dots at the mid-point on the approach measure 12 feet from the foul line, then a 6 foot tall bowler using a four step approach will likely be positioned on or near the these guide dots on the approach floor. If you are shorter than 6 feet and do not have a long walking stride, then position yourself closer to the foul line. Naturally, bowlers using five steps should allow more distance from the foul line accordingly. Try and make sure you finish with your sliding foot only 6 inches or less from the foul line and pointed as closely straight to the pins as possible. 

2. Direction of steps – An extremely important key to accuracy and to consistent approaches is the direction you walk to the foul line. It cannot be emphasized enough how vital walking your lines is to achieving a target-seeking armswing and accuracy in your deliveries. A good objective is to walk perfectly straight to the line as to end on the same board with your sliding foot as where the foot was positioned originally in your set-up position. Regardless of where you position yourself laterally on the approach for spares or for a strike ball delivery, it is a good goal to not drift away from where you began.

Try making steps which are placed under your chin or under the center of your body so you maintain balance and result in an effectively straight path to the line. Visualize the tight-rope acrobat in a circus arena moving carefully down the wire. Each step is measured in length and directly under the center of the body for maximum balance. Try to limit your drift to about two boards from your set-up alignment so your armswing will produce a high degree of accurate deliveries.

You can practice at home in a hallway and work on taking steps which are placed just inside your shoulder line or perhaps nearer the center line of your body. Keep your eyes focused down the hallway and walk so you do not skate to the right, then to the left, then back to the right, and so on. Many people do not step straight ahead with a normal walking motion. It will, therefore, require some work to practice walking with each step overlapping in front of one another closely along the center line of your body so you effectively walk in a very straight line direction much like the tight rope acrobat.

Another good practice tip to walk your lines is to place a piece of bowling tape on the approach floor, when practice bowling, about one inch behind the foul line on the desired board where you intend to slide. Then place another piece of tape on the approach back where you initially position your sliding shoes before you begin walking to the foul line and deliver the ball. Make sure the tape at the foul line matches the board where the tape back on the approach is placed. If you are able to walk and deliver a ball, look down at your slide shoe after the delivery, and then see the shoe in the same relative space as where you began your approach, you will have successfully walked your lines.

Next, move the tape on the approach where you initially stand across the lane to perhaps where you stand to convert the corner pin spares. If you are right handed, the move the tape to the board on the approach where you stand to pick up the ten pin, for example. Move the piece of tape at the foul line the same direction and place it at the foul line on the same board as where you stand to make the ten pin. If you are able to walk to the line, deliver your ball, and check your sliding shoe to make sure your slide ended up on the same board as where you began your approach, then you will have successfully walked your lines. You may find that you have to adjust your alignment board on the approach to better match with the target on the lane once you straighten out your walk to the foul line.

Use the same procedure for the opposite side corner pin spare and move both pieces of tape and place them on the same board at the line and at the starting position spot back on the approach. The objective is obvious, you must learn to walk your lines regardless of where you are positioned on the approach. The amazing thing coaches constantly encounter is that the bowler might walk straight in the center portion of the approach where they normally align themselves for strike ball deliveries but drift away from a straight line walk when they move to the corners of the approach.

Bowlers will typically walk toward the center of the approach and drift as much as five or ten boards away from their initial starting position in their set-up on the approach (to the right for right handed bowlers). By drifting toward the center of the approach, the bowler will effectively walk in front of the direction the armswing path should follow to properly pick up the spare (or deliver a strike ball) and then swing is forced to re-route around the bowlers hip or leg to prevent contacting the leg on the forward swing. This type of re-alignment will cause the bowler to miss the target on the lane and release the ball at an improper angle to that target. Walking your lines is a vital part of maintaining good arm swing direction. In can be said that "accuracy begins with good footwork" and walking a straight direction to the line will help you improve your accuracy.

Bowling Hand Positions - The Different Hand Positions in Bowling

How Changing Hand Positions Affects Ball Roll
Bowling Hand Positions. - There are many different hand positions in bowling. I am only going to start out with a few of the basic ones. Cupped, Straight, and Broken are the 3 basic vertical hand positions. The 3 basic horizontal wrist positions which are at 12 o'clock, 10:30, and 9 o'clock. Using different combinations of these changing hand positions in bowling will affect the ball roll. This affect causes the bowling ball to have earlier roll or later roll. It can also cause different angles to the pocket and cause the ball to hook or roll at different spots on the bowling lane. At times it can substitute for bowling ball speed problems. These basic wrist combinations, along with different finger positions in gripping the bowling ball may be all that's needed. Try them before changing bowling lane lines, or even changing bowling equipment, or bowling ball layouts.
1. The Cupped Release - The cupped release is when your wrist is curled so that your fingers and hand are angled upward in a 45 degree angle. This causes the bowling ball to roll sooner. It also gives you an earlier break point. (Note: most crankers or high revolution bowlers like this wrist position).
2. The Straight Release - The straight release is when your wrist is straight. There is no break upward or downward. This release is a starting position. It is a release that should be used most of the time. You should then adjust from this point. This is a medium wrist position. (Note: most straight bowlers or strokers like this wrist position).
3. The Broken Wrist Release - The broken wrist position, or release, is when your hand and fingers are angle down toward the ground; also your wrist is broken. This release position is used when you want to delay the break point or if you want to get the ball down lane before it hooks. It is also used to get through the heads. (Note: the heads are the first part of the bowling lane). It can also substitute for ball speed or for drier lane conditions. I have seen famous professional like Norm Duke and Brian Voss use this release a lot.
4. The 12 o'clock Release - With the 12 o'clock, or 10 degree, release as you hold your ball your thumb comes straight up with no (or very little) side turn. Your hand and thumb will be at the 12 o'clock position as it is released. This release will give the bowling ball a lot of end over end roll. It causes the bowling ball to delay its break point. This release is used on dryer lanes and to help get the ball down the lane before it hooks. (Note: this is also called a 10 degree axis rotation).
5. The 10:30 Release - With the 10:30, or 45 degree, release as you hold your bowling ball your hand is turned horizontal and your thumb is pointed at 10:30 on a clock, or at a 45 degree angle. This release is the most common. It also should be used as a starting point. This release gives the bowling ball a slight inward turn toward the 7 pin. (Note: this is also called a 45 degree axis rotation).
6. The 9 o'clock Release - With the 9 o'clock, or 90 degree, release as you hold the bowling ball your hand is turned horizontally to the side facing 9 o'clock. This release causes the ball to have a lot of spin. It sometimes causes what we call a spinner. This means the bowling ball is spinning like a top. It also has very little ball to lane surface contact. This means the bowling ball will not have much hook or drive as it rolls down the bowling lane. When it hits the bowling pins it may hit dead with not much action. (Note: this is also called the 90 degree axis rotation).

One how-to bowling tip is the composure. Before anything else, the players need to ensure that they have composed their mind and body in the most perfect way. The most important thing that a player needs to do is develop a sense of confidence before attempting to play.

The other how-to bowling tip that helps most players to come up with the best scores is ensuring that they are comfortable before making any move. It is very important for the player to be comfortable and tension free before bowling. First and foremost, he or she needs to ensure that the ball they are to use feels perfectly comfortable on the palm. Once the ball is perfectly fit, the player needs to give a comfortable grip on the ball. This way, the ball will be directed to the bawling pins with accuracy.
The speed at which the ball is tossed towards the bowling pins is also important. The player just needs to ensure that they have set a speed are good enough to clear all the pins at the end of the bowling lane. Since the game requires achieving a maximum of 150 points, players need to ensure that they have grabbed all the points to themselves. The how-to bowling tips are simply the best.

How to Bowl Tips Without Rolling the Ball Into the Gutter

Bowling styles vary differently according to the bowler himself. People usually bowl in the way that usually makes them the most comfortable. However, lots of common factors which they will be discussing are present among all bowlers which may facilitate the bowling.

Bowling is a sport which requires both mental coordination and the physical fit. For beginners, it is usually common to throw a bowling ball and for the it several times in a row. However, even in the event you are a beginner, you do not require to do so in the event you have read and followed the right bowling tips and techniques. Here are some tips on how to bowl without rolling the ball in to the gutter.

Although there's no fixed techniques as to how to start rolling the bowl down the lane, rolling the bowling ball has been categorized in to different sections. The first technique to roll the ball is to throw it from between your legs and with both hands centering the ball. This is usually a technique given to beginners who are learning how to bowl and have yet no contact with bowling balls. This technique may later create to be completed with one hand only as the person's hand power increases. For more advanced bowlers, the common technique is to first hold the ball right in front of the body and near the person's waist level while standing upright and having the other hand hold the bowling ball.

Then, the bowler would take a few steps forward while gradually lowering the ball with a hand in a backward path. The bowler needs to stay cautious so as to not cross the foul line. Another essential bowling tip is brought up here, the bowler needs to get the right foot forward. With practice, the bowler will become more at ease with the whole technique and would finally take the right steps without having to slow down or look the lane.

Another important bowling tip is using the right bowling ball. You require to also keep in mind that the bowling ball needs to be a ball you are comfortable with so you would practice with ease. Go to the nearest shop and start with a bowling ball of a few pounds. Later start adding a pound until you find the bowling ball that suits your swing and would let you play with ease; by that, take in to consideration the texture as well as the finger holes.

Afterwards, the bowler continues to bring the ball forward beside his body and rolls it down the bowling lane. Swinging the ball is one of the essential bowling tips. The bowler later makes use of the wrist and fingers in the right motion here would let you spin the ball to let it modify direction halfway down the lane in order to strike. This action seems not clear on pen and paper, but with time and practice, the bowler could get the hang of it. Another one of the bowling tips you could do is to watch pro bowlers in action and try to learn how they do roll the ball down the gutter.

So to help prevent more gutter bowls keep in mind to - swing the ball, use the right bowling ball, and take the right steps.

The Best Bowling Tips and Techniques to Improve Your Game

You want to improve your bowling game right? Well if you do then you need the essential bowling tips and techniques to make yourself the most successful at the game. These tips are easy to learn and can improve your game drastically... by dozens of points at least.
Look At The Equipment
If you are going to bowl a good game, then you need the right equipment.
1. You should have a ball that is the right weight for you. Do not have a ball that is too heavy, it will not give you added power. In fact, a lighter ball is better so that you can move it easily during your swing.
2. One of the important bowling tips and techniques is to have bowling shoes that are yours. This is often overlooked but if you can get the right shoes that fit you nicely and won't slip on the alley floor, then you are on the right track.
Getting The Lift and Release Right
These steps will ensure you can get that strike or spare much more frequently.
1. If you are right handed, step with your right foot first. If you do it properly, you should be releasing with your left foot out at the end of the lane.
2. When you are making your stride, aim with the arrows on the floor and with your hand to get the ball going exactly where you want it to.
3. Do not aim for the middle pin, it will only give you a split.
4. When you are releasing the ball, ensure you bend your knees as far as is comfortable.
5. Do not turn your wrist unless you want to create a hook. This is another of the important bowling tips and techniques that are often forgotten.
6. Oil up the ball if you want it to move straight, and leave it dry if you want it to move with a curve.

Ask a mate or team mate for an outside opinion on what we think you may need to do to improve your bowling game.

2. Always maintain a positive attitude. As all of us know, it is  easy to focus too much on the bad aspects of your game. Over-analyzing that gutter ball is not going to improve your game. Thinking bad things only brings bad things so stay happy!

Be persistent plus you never know you may be on your way to achieving that elusive 300!

Everyone Can Benefit From That Bowling Tips.

Another great bowling tip is to receive a coach. It is best to receive a trained coach, someone who has helped others on their road to bowling greatness. Unfortunately, getting such a coach can cost a  penny... in the event you can find one in the first place.

Of all bowling tips I can share with you, the most important bowling tip of all is: practice! No matter how well you understand the game, no matter how excellent your bowling equipment is, you  are not going to get any better in the event you do not practice, practice, practice.

So, in the event you cannot find someone trained as a coach, find the next best thing - your mom, dad, mate, or neighbor, etc. Of course, you do, indeed, need someone who's a great bowler. At the very least, you need someone who's very interested in bowling - think of it this way, not all basketball referees are excellent basketball players, but they know what is going on the game.

In other words, even if mate cannot roll a strike every time, he or they can still help dissect your movements. Your mate may still be able to tell you what is wrong. Also, maybe you know what you are doing wrong, & you finish up overcorrecting yourself - your coach (even if it is  a mate) is going to be able to tell you that you have overcorrected or to tell you other information that you  cannot see or feel for yourself.

Besides these three major bowling tips - practice & don't go at it alone - there's tons of bowling tips to adhere to. Only a few bowling tips apply to all bowlers like these first three do. Someone who always gets a gutter balls is going to need different bowling tips that someone who cannot time his or her approach. Similarly, an amateur bowler is going to be helped by  different bowling tips than a professional.

Nevertheless, here are a few more bowling tips:

· Stop using the house balls at the bowling alley - get yourself a custom bowling ball, or at least a bowling ball that fits your hand well. You are going to be able to make use of a different weight ball than you normally would,  because it fits your hand better. Why not go heavier?

· Get your own bowling shoes - while this bowling tip isn't  as important as the abovementioned one, it can still help. Most definitely, you are going to feel better when you are wearing your own bowling shoes.

· Stretch - no, bowling isn't a contact sport, but that most definitely does not mean that bowlers do not get injured. Stretching can help you prevent injuries. Also, ensuring that you have a ball that properly fits will keep you safer, too. You may also select to wear a wrist support.

· When you have a query, ask it - never assume that you have learned all there is to know. Even the best bowlers, the professionals, can stand to take some advice. Never stop learning.

· Think - bowling isn't all in the wrist, it is in the head. Really think about your movements & y our delivery. Concentrate on which movements generate which spins on the ball, etc.

· Keep that throwing are nice & loose.

· Watch the professionals - watch them on TV, or watch some great bowlers at your local alley.

· Finish close to the foul line - being with five inches of the foul line will help insure that you get the best release feasible (of course, you never need to cross it!)

· Follow through!

· Always keep your eye on the target - this does not necessarily mean you need to keep your eyes on the pins! , look at the markers in the lane.

I hope that these bowling tips have helped you. & I need to remind you of one of the absolute most important bowling tips of all - have fun! It isn't worth bowling in the event you are no longer having fun. Do not let the pressure to win get in the way of your overall objective to have fun!

7 Bowling Tips To Improve Bowling Game

Bowling Tip #1: Use the right tools

We have heard it plenty of times before... practice makes ideal. & for lovely reason-it's the truth! The best way to get better at anything is to practice; bowling is no exception. However, how you practice will mean the difference between slowly improving & supercharging your game!

In any sport, using the correct equipment for the job you must do improves your performance. In bowling, the ball is the most important piece of equipment you will use, so pick the right one for the job! Be sure to try out plenty of, & pick one that is the right weight, material & finger-grip fit.

Bowling Tip #2: Are you bowling enough?

Bowling Tip #3: Learn to walk the walk

To progress at bowling, you need to bowl at least six times or six times a week. The most economical way to get this amount of practice in is by joining a league. Usually, the more experienced players show up before the game to practice. This is when you can learn the most, from people committed to the sport.

Bowling Tip #4: Let 'em roll

While professional bowlers tend to make use of a 5-step approach, that is  not suitable for someone  learning the sport. Beginners are usually more comfortable with a 4-step approach. You can practice your approach without throwing a single ball. Keep your shoulders square to the front, your head up, arm swing smooth, & your pace consistent & even.

Spend time rolling the ball. A bowling ball should never be thrown. How do you tell the difference? A thrown ball will land with a loud "clunk" & then slide a few feet before beginning to roll. A rolled ball lands quietly & quickly rolls down the lane. In the event you find that you're in the habit of throwing the ball, basically slow down. Try taking a slow, deep breath or six before bowling to settle any anxiety. You will hit more pins with a rolled ball than with a thrown one.

Bowling Tip #5: What you think is what you do

Spend time visualizing & analyzing your shots. Visualize your movements & your shots before you do them. If your ball goes consistently too far right, begin a small further left. You will learn to "feel" when you have bowled a lovely ball. When you do, write it down before you forget. What did you do? How did the ball feel? Where did the ball hit? Keep it for future reference so you can do it again.

Bowling Tip #6: What if I cannot be at the alley enough to practice?

You can practice your arm swing outside with a bucket of water with a small hole at the bottom. The water drops on the ground will mark the path of your arm & the direction the ball would go. It is a lovely way to see in the event you arc around your body when you bowl & which direction your arm is going. This can be a  enlightening experience.

Any smooth surface with a long, clear distance is suitable for practicing your approach. It is not safe to practice the release, however, as a bowling ball will basically roll straight through walls in the event you miss your target! Not to mention you'll ruin the surface of your ball. When practicing at home, mark your foul line & arrows in masking tape or other material that won't destroy your floor. Also mark where your toes need to be for each step. Practice your approach until it is second nature.

Bowling Tip #7: Don't spare yourself the trouble

It is an excellent idea to practice picking up your spares. A bowler who can consistently pick up his spares can basically hold a 180 average without getting any strikes. It is  useful to practice bowling at the 7-or 10-pins by aiming at them & bowling across the strike zone (the "x" on the lane) from the opposite side of the lane.

By practicing these bowling techniques on a regular basis, you'll be honing the skills that will help you improve your bowling game!
