All of the ten pin bowling tips I’ve posted on this website and many, many more bowling tips can be found within the pages of The Ultimate Bowling Guide book in a very easy to read format. I’ve printed a copy and keep it in the car so I can read the odd bowling tip prior to our Thursday night game with my friends. I have a 5 minute ritual in the parking lot, I take a few minutes to read two or three bowling tips just prior to entering the bowling alley, this keeps the ideas fresh in my mind and it’s made a HUGE difference to my game.

If after reading my site you want to improve your game even further consider purchasing the Bowling Tips book above, it improved my game so much I was able to create this website about 10 pin bowling tips

It’s not just about choosing the right bowling ball size, it’s amazing how little things like tying the laces of your bowling shoes correctly can have on your game or how choosing the right lane within the bowling alley can have a psychological effect on your game that can add 5 points to your average just due to being more relaxed!

Bowling Tip 35 – Create Fluid Approach Timing

Bowler — Tue, 23 May 2006 20:46:19 +0000

To create the most fluid approach timing, concentrate on balancing your body and on creating a build up of momentum. Here are some elements to experiment with:

On your first step, bring the bowling ball back in alignment with your bowling arm side foot, concentrating on keeping it over the foot.

On your second step, let the ball swing back naturally. Forget about your feet and just feel the swing. It’s as if that foot concentration times the ball into it’s swing.

On your third step stay on your push off foot for a long time…waiting for the ball to come through.

Finally set your sliding foot underneath you as you release the ball and slide into your balanced delivery position.

Experiment with a short pre-step in which the ball stays almost motionless.

Count in a speeding up rhythm and cadence (1…2-3-4) in order to get yourself to start slowly on steps one and two …then speed up on steps three and four.

Bowling Tip 34 – Adjust speeds to lane conditions

Practice adjusting your speed to match the lane you’re bowling on. Cultivate speed control in more and more minute levels. Be able to pull a certain speed out like you were taking it out of your pocket. The theme is flexibility and the speed of your ball, swing, timing should have several settings. The more the better.

Bowling Tip 33 – Develop Flexibility

Practice walking left and walking right and having a straight walk. Practice open and closed shoulders. Practice adjusting speeds. Have at least three different approach timings. Practice playing different parts of the lane. Flexibility is power.

Cultivate three or four releases, all of which work well. For a stretch, intentionally put yourself in poor conditions and practice bowling well under them.
