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!
