Okay, bowling is a simple game with not-so simple details. Don’t fret, we can get you rolling down the right lane.
Most importantly, invest a little in properly-fitted equipment at your bowling pro shop! It’s not a sales pitch, it actually matters. There’s a reason its our number 1 recommendation, get your favorite ball drilled for custom finger holes, and you’ll bowl more consistently. A carefully fitted bowling ball can make a substantial improvement in your game. Of course another critical matter is enjoying actual bowling shoes which have shoe laces!
After you already bought good bowling equipment, now it’s time for the number two piece of bowling advice: aim how the pros aim. As you wait to roll, don’t shoot for your actual target, the pins. Line up using the points about 15 feet down the lane, like a sling shot. What’s the point? It is easier to roll through a target much nearer. To get the most out of your aim, double check to see stand in the a consistent place 4 steps from the foul line every approach. Roll from the same place, in the same way and you can fine-tune your marksmanship.

However greenhorns might want to keep it simple, and steer clear of a ball that is too heavy for you. A lot of pro bowlers travel with bowling balls with advanced composite surface. Steer clear of them, because these balls might make even decent talents look a fool. That’s our first 3 bowling tips. There will be more next month.
