AVOID GUTTER BALLS:YOU NEED TO ALIGN YOUR BODY, ALONG WITH YOUR ARM SWING…MAKE SURE YOUR SHOULDERS ARE STRAIGHT / PARALLEL TO THE FOUL LINE AT THE TIME OF BALL RELEASE AND YOUR LEFT FACING THE HEAD PIN…GO TO MY BLOG FOR MORE LESSONS.

NO NEED TO CONTROL SPEED AT THIS MOMENT, SHE JUST NEED TO ADJUST THE BALL GRIP…IF THE BALL IS HOOKING A LOT THAN JUST OPEN YOUR LAST FINGER VOID AND CLOSE THE FIRST FIGURE..YOU CAN ADJUST THIS LAST FINGER AS PER YOUR REQUIRED HOOK NEEDED.

Comment on Bowling Tip 23 – Use four points of reference by York W. Porter

Sorry to bother you. I am a long time bowler who has a question about the Brunswick Rangefinder System. I have searched the Internet/looked in various bowling books without success in trying to find the answer.
First, I know that the arrows and the dots on the approach all line up with the visible pins that are facing the bowler, i.e, the 1,2,3,4,6,7,10 pins. The dots just about six/seven feet out from the foul line towards the arrows are *not* so aligned, as you point out.. Can you enlighten me as to why these dots are *not* aligned like the rest since I’m sure there was *some* sort of reasoning on putting these dots “offset” from the rest. Also, of course, I am trying to figure out how they figured in to the Rangefinder system as it was originally developed in WWII. I wasn’t quite sure I understood the “Play with determining which board is half way between your mark and your target and aim at that board’s dot”. Thanks for any help you can be.
Again, sorry to bother you but I haven’t found the answer elsewhere. Most references, including the tips from Bob Strickland on the web, mention the dots on the lane and then seem to ignore them. Of course, it may be that I’m just not understanding things well.

Thanks,

York

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

How do I help a friend of mine to build up a little bit more ball speed? Her speed averages 9.51, our lanes are hooking a bit more this year and she is having a lot of trouble keeping her ball from rolling away from the spare. She has tried moving to the left on her stance, but her ball rolls so much it’s hard to control.

I went bowling today for the first time in about 3 yrs so I’m a bit rusty, but I’m having so much trouble! My bowling ball tends to veer off to the left so I get A LOT of gutter balls and I have to start so far to the right that some times it ends up in the right gutter! I usually only get about three pins down each frame and only 1 strike out of three games! Its even hard for me to get spares. I was just wondering if someone had some tips that might help me out as I’ve tried the obvious one of moving to the side.

Thanks
