Bowling Like A Pro

An eighth tip is to keep in mind that you are using the natural forces of gravity and like the apple falling from a tree, its speed increases when dropped by the twig because of gravity pulling it down. Your ball should be set up to make use of the force of gravity as it is propelled down to the pins. The ninth tip is to get a teacher to help you with your bowling techniques. These tips might require a professional bowler or bowling teacher to help you to make them a part of your bowling game.

The first tip is to attain good balance before making your first stride out and keeping that poise as you increase your speed before sending the ball. The second tip is to gain speed yourself as you jog to the line that translates into a ball that has just the right speed to carry through without hooking and going foul. A third tip is to figure out where to hold your ball before releasing it. If you normally hold the ball near your knees, try holding it near your waist. If you normally hold the ball near your waist, try holding it level with your shoulders. The fourth tip is to hold your ball up with both hands and bring it back toward your body. Then release it to one hand as you bring it forward and drop the ball. The fifth tip is to work out on your leg and arm muscles before bowling to get them relaxed and free of muscle tension. A sixth tip is to always hold your ball at a position above where you normally hold it, about the length of a bowling ball. The higher positioning increases your speed and consequently the speed of your ball. The scientific reasoning is that the pull of gravity on the ball increases your hold and adds to your speed and the speed of your ball when released. A seventh tip is to keep your body free of needless movements, that includes your head as well as your body. Keep your body and head straight when you reach the ball release area before beginning your swing to release your ball.
