Bowling Tip 1 - Relax Your Grip & Swing

January 10th, 2006 by petermartens

It’s essential to have a relaxed grip on the ball. This is the real secret to a free flowing armswing! Relax your grip more and more until it feels like you’re barely hanging onto the ball. This will help you get over any fear of dropping the ball. Keep your fingers, and especially your thumb, relaxed throughout your entire swing.

When you have your ball drilled, make sure the fit is snug enough so that you can keep your fingers and thumb relaxed at all times.

    I am not getting a consistent release. My hand does not seem to come through the ball. I can tell by the look of the roll as it leaves. One out of four rolls correctly even a pocket hit will leave the ten pin. I have had people that know bowling tell me it is my release, this is a new problem for me in the last year or so. My bowling ball when thrown correctly will hit its break point and snap nicely into the pocket. Any suggestions for practice to correct this problem.

    Thanks Tony
