Bowling Tips!
What ball should I pick when bowling?
There are many different balls with all kinds of colors and weights; from green to purple and from 8 pounds to 16 pounds. Women usually throw a ball between 8 and 12 pounds, while men often opt for the heavyweights. In any case, choose a ball that you feel is not too light or too heavy and that your fingers fit well in the holes. People who bowl often and would like to get better have their own ball: it is custom-made, so that the finger holes fit well on their hand
.
But how should I throw?
Hold the ball in such a way that your thumb is pointing up. It's like you're shaking hands with the ball! Stand in the middle of the lane and aim – while throwing straight ahead – at the center triangle at the beginning of the lane. Try not to look at the pins and point at the ball when you have released it. At the end of your swing, your thumb should still be pointing up.
And if I want to throw with effect?
You can! Stand to the right of center (or left of center if you're left-handed) and focus on the second triangle from the right (for left-handers, the second triangle from the left). Turn your hand to the middle of the lane during the swing.
