There is no replacement for proper bowling “technique” at any skill level of bowling.  Running up to the foul line and heaving the ball as hard as possible will sometimes make a great crashing sound and might even get a strike or two, but it won’t knock down any more pins than will a shot that is slower in the course of a game or evening out with friends.

If there is one aspect of bowling technique that I want to stress, over stress, and stress too much is the FOLLOW THROUGH.  Watch this 3 minute video for a great discussion on arm swing and follow through.

For you guys out there I most often see the arm swing going wild everywhere except in that 4 inch groove.  That is, on your backswing your arm is most often moving the ball behind your body.  This might feel like you are really winding up your swing to impart a lot of velocity on the ball but you aren’t.  Especially with a beginner bowler with little or no hook, (and probably using a house ball with little or no hook potential) that wild back swing almost guarantees you won’t be able to throw the same shot twice.

And being able to throw the same shot over and over and over again is the name of the game in bowling.  Once you find the right “groove” in the lane you want to be able to throw your ball over the same boards in the alley, at the same speed, and with the same angle to start stringing strikes in a row.

For you guys (and gals), make your arm swing more deliberate, more thoughtful.  This is the foundation on which all other tips and techniques are built.

For the ladies, the number one violation of the arm swing rule I see is nearly zero follow through.  You will come up to the foul line and slump your arm down to your side “dropping” the bowling ball on the alley.  The ball will skid a few feet and begin to roll in one direction or another.  The same as with the men, there is no possibility to develop any consistency and repeatability to your game.

You must consciously push the ball forward and even after letting go of the ball continue with your follow through so your arm is pointing towards the ceiling.  Go to a lighter ball if necessary, even trim your luxurious fingernails, but get a better and LONGER grip on the bowling ball.

So, the absolute Foundation of Better Bowling is the arm swing and follow through.  Just keeping this Bowling Tip in mind with each shot you make your scores, whenever you go bowling, will improve.

Most bowling coaches lump amateur bowlers into one of three large categories: the beginner, moderate, and advanced bowler.  Some may use different names for each category but these are the main three levels.

Each level is defined first by the number of times you go bowling.

The beginner (or novice) is typified by the term “occasional”.  They usually bowl with their friends (Cosmic Bowling) or at social functions like a church or a school sponsored bowling night.

The moderate bowler will usually belong to at least one weekly bowling league at their local bowling center and can be found practicing occasionally during non league play.  They usually still frequent their social bowling opportunities and enjoy being called “the pro” by their beginner friends.

The advanced bowler will belong to several weekly leagues, usually at least one of them being sanctioned by a recognized national bowling organization.  They will bowl in local tournaments and may travel to bowling centers outside their regional area to compete in single or league play.

Inside each of these basic levels there exist a continuum of variations on ball speed, track, equipment, approach, etc.  A beginner bowler may have an average near that of a moderate skilled player while an advanced bowler may still posess many of the stylistic components of a more moderate counterpart.

Throwing a straight ball is a useful and necessary component for beginner, moderate, and advanced bowler while a seven step approach will benefit an advanced bowler much more than a beginner.  All this is said to drive home the point that a bowler with a 150 average can exist in each of the three basic categories above.  Scores aren’t as good an indicator of what kind of bowler you are as is your frequency of bowling.

Once you can nail down what kind of bowler you are you can intelligently make better decisions on what steps are necessary to improve your game.  Purchasing a $170.00 bowling ball won’t make much difference in your score if you only bowl 36 games a year (3 games once a month).  In fact, that $170.00 ball will probably REDUCE your score since it is designed to NOT roll straight.

Next time I will begin at the beginning with the beginner bowler.  We’ll talk about the fundamentals, what steps you can take to improve your scores right away and what steps are necessary to lay the groundwork to improve your scores later on as you progress from beginner to moderate bowler.

I would really like to make a few videos demonstrating some of my techniques and style but, alas, I make Steve Cook look like a ballerina.  So, I won’t.  But what I will do is link to videos and webpages that do have the RIGHT tips and RIGHT techniques for improving your bowling experience.

Why did I say experience?

Easy, just getting a score isn’t very fun or enjoyable for yourself or your team mates if you are on a league team.  What use is it if you bowl a 257 in league play but you are a total bastard all along the way doing it?  I know, I was one of those bowling primadonna’s.  Always the best player on the league, but always careful to choose a league to bowl in where I knew I was much better than the competition.

And what fun is it scoring a 98 when you are the anchor of a team and you are giving pins to the competition?  Not much fun if it is a money league, but it can be a bit more enjoyable on a Lousy Bowlers or Mixed Nuts fun league.

So my first tip is: Know YOUR skill level and choose your bowling opportunities accordingly.

Every bowling center has many leagues of all skil levels.  There are also many times of open bowling when you and some friends just want to bowl for the fun of it.  Cosmic bowling can be found in nearly every bowling center for those who want a festive atmosphere and don’t care about distractions when bowling.

Odds are, if you are searching on the internet for bowling tips and techiques you are a little bit beyond the absolute beginner and have a few games under your belt.  You may have joined a fun league and want to know how to score more strikes or make more spares.

Maybe you want to be able to “hook” the ball like that guy a few lanes down.  He may not always get a strike but it sure is fun to watch his ball head for the channel (gutter) and suddenly swing back into the pocket!

In my next post I’ll help you define what skill levels there are in bowling (according to me) and what you can reasonably expect to achieve in that particular skill bracket.

The United States is in the crapper and there is nothing I can do about it now.  I cast my vote and did not win, so on to more important things, like Star Trek, survivalism, film making, whiskey, and compewters.

America in the Crapper

America is just like Rome, and we have elected Nero as President.  He has the match in his hand and will burn down the entire world.

And who will light the match for him?  Senators Susan Collins, Arlin Spectre and Olympia Snow.
