FAQs   -   Frequently Asked Questions


Q:   " How can I get more rotation on my ball?"
In order to get more rotation there must be some acceleration at release point. As the thumb exits, the weight of the ball rests on the finger tips for a split second. The fingers must move quickly through the ball at this point to impart spin. Your leverage position is very important. You should be solid at the line with a good knee bend.
Q:   " Is there is anything that I can do at home to improve my game when I cannot get out and practice?"
There are a lot of instructional bowling videos that you can study at home or different books on bowling, maybe these resources can help you to identify the things in your game that will help you to maximize your limited ability to practice.
Q:   " How do I know when to switch balls?"
Unfortunately there is no exact answer to this question, but when you are in a competition and start to lose consistency of hitting the pocket or carrying, and you have already tried making adjustments to your angle to the pocket or hand position then you should switch balls. There are times when you are on a tough lane condition and, if you are keeping the ball in play ( hitting the pocket ), you may be better off sticking with that same ball even if you are not striking.
Q:   " What exercises are good for bowling?"
If you are a serious bowler who competes in tournaments, go to a sports centre or health club with a fitness gym and qualified fitness instructors. Bowlers should focus on building strong legs, (leg curls, leg extensions, leg press etc.). Most women should do exercises to strengthen their wrists (wrist curls). Bowlers over 40 should always check with their doctor before beginning any serious exercise program.
