Bowling Is A Mental Game

Analyze your delivery and think about what you are doing when you practice. Feel your good shots as you make them and imprint it into your mind so you can repeat them. Use visualization to practice off the lanes in your mind making perfect shots.

Try The Drop Away Method

The drop away replaces the push away. In the drop away method hold the ball high up in the stance at shoulder height and take a small first step but don't move the ball (no push away). Instead just let the ball drop down into the swing on the second step. If this feels awkward to you try sliding your foot out on the first step until you get used to it.

Shoe Sliding Problems (Sticking)

If you have trouble sliding buy a Dexter red slide sole and some velcro self sticking fastener. Cut red slide sole and velcro self sticking fastener the same size as rubber heel on slide shoe. Paste velcro fastener on rubber heal and fasten red slide sole.

Develop Your Own Bowling Style

There is no set way that bowlers bowl and anything can work when a bowler repeats the same exact movements often enough. Do what feels relaxing and the most natural to you. Developing your own bowling style will improve your game and scores.

Watch Professional Bowlers On TV

Watch the professional bowlers bowling in a tournament on TV and record them with your VCR or DVR. Play back the tape and watch in slow motion. Study their basic techniques to improve your own game. Women pros are great to watch because they rely on finesse over power.
