Bonnies Bowling

Bowlers are divided into three basic groups: the ones the use 3-step approaches, the ones the use 4-step approaches, and those that use 5-step approaches to get to the foul line.

A large group of bowlers have chosen over the years to use a 4-step delivery, it gives them and nicely coordinated approach that allows them to have the correct rhythm to perfect their release.

Aim for the arrows instead of the pins for better accuracy.  The arrows are located a ways out on the lane.  Rolling the ball over the arrows will take some foot adjustment at each arrow.  The adjustment should be to the right for the futherest arrow to the right.  Move slightly to the left for the next arrow going left toward the center and left again slightly for the next arrow to the left and etc.  There are also dots at the approach which may be used the same way as the arrows.

PROFESSIONAL BOWLERS AND TOP COACHES long have disagreed over the many subtle manifestations that can take place in the downswing. It is understandable why this aspect of the game provokes such controversy, because it is the backswing that’s often modified to accommodate the specific physiology of the bowler.

Bowling, like many other endeavors, is easy to learn but hard to master.  This especially true regarding picking up spares.  Few of us are so good that we never leave pins behind after the first ball.
