Bowling Techniques: Start Bowling A Better Game Today

Many people don’t realize it, but rolling the ball down the lane and sending the pins flying is not all there is to this game. Bowling skills and techniques are things that any bowling enthusiast will say are crucial to playing the game. But how can you make your game better? By getting a few tips you can become the bowler you’d like to be.

It is vital that your grip on the ball is good. As you approach, you have a big chance of losing control of the ball when trying to release it if you have a bad grip. You could loft it (sending it into the air without making contact with the lane). The ball could end up flying way from the lane by accident. You may even injure yourself! A good hold on the ball depends greatly on having the right size holes, neither too big nor too small. The weight of your ball is also vital and you need to be comfortable with it. Some people even use insert tape on the thumb holes. The tape allows your thumb a better grip as it features a textured surface. The additional texture that provides good purchase on the ball while bowling can improve the amount of control you have over the ball. Also, figure out how many steps you want to take on your approach. Anyone who tells you that you absolutely have to take a certain number of steps shouldn’t be minded. Only you can decide what the right number of steps is, because it all depends on you. Your height is part of the determining factors. It depends on the length of your stride. How quickly you move and how much force you put behind the ball dictates it. How far you start from the throw line affects it. How many steps you should take, where you should start from, and how fast your steps should be will become clear over time as you bowl.

You should also watch top bowlers and study how they play. It’s true for anything you want to learn or become better at that you can learn by watching someone who is very good at it. This is true for any sport, skill or field of study, including bowling. Take the time to watch professional bowlers, even if you have to rent a video or watch them online, and make the effort to imitate them next time you bowl. Like just about everything else in life, the more you practice, the better you will be at bowling. There are hundreds if not thousands of tips that will help your bowling improve.

Asking an expert bowler is probably one of the fastest ways to improve your techniques. Experts are generally glad to help other bowlers who are hoping to polish up their style.
