Keep Your Arm Swing Loose Keep your thumb relaxed in the ball (tension will spread up your arm). In order to have a relaxed grip in the ball your ball has to be drilled and fitted correctly. If your thumb hole feels loose it will cause you to squeeze the ball and muscle your swing. Inserts in the thumb and finger holes can help give you a more secure fit. If you have a large web at the base of your thumb and index finger, add extra bevel on the top edge of the thumb hole for a better fit. Balance Body For Solid Finish Try to keep your non-sliding foot behind you at the foul line, instead of kicking it high. On the last step bend your knee to get down lower to the lane and slide your foot straight towards the foul line making sure it doesn't turn. Think of it as sliding into a deep knee bend. Follow Through The Arm Swing A well executed release will give you a good follow through. If the ball is released correctly your arm will bend at the elbow and your hand will come up following the line of the ball. Extra Ball Action If you need extra ball action for better pin carry, keep your little finger bent (curled up against the ball) and apply pressure against the ball with your index finger throughout the entire swing and release. Be sure you keep your thumb relaxed in the ball at all times. Start as you mean to finish. When setting up for your shot (at the push-away), it often helps to have your wrist in the position and angle you want at release. Staying Relaxed Under Pressure Once you're ready to go, focus your eyes on your target and block out all external noise. At the forward swing and release, more of your concentration should be directed to your wrist. |
