Learn how to select a bowling ball

Learning how to bowl is a lot of fun, but like any sport you learn things as you go and will slowly decide to buy equipment that will help you perform better. If you are a beginner bowler, you will probably start out using a house ball, but you will probably quickly decide to get your own ball if you like the sport. The advantage of having your own ball is that the ball will be drilled to fit your hand for your style of bowling. This will give you more control over the ball and will definitely help improve your game.

When you decide to get your own ball, you will be able to select the color and the weight of the ball. You will find different balls online and in pro shops with all sorts of different colors and patterns. You can even find bowling balls for your favorite sports teams too!

Generally, a beginner will start out purchasing  a “plastic ball” at the lower end of the pricing structure to get a feel for what they like. A basic ball in the pro shop

I visited last week was under $50 not including the cost of drilling.  After I selected the ball I wanted, the pro in the shop then fitted it to by hand both in the placement of the finger holes and the width of the hole for my thumb and fingers.

As your bowling progesses, you may want to invest in a better quality bowling ball with a reactive surface. This type of ball will “react” more to the conditions of the lanes. If the lanes are drier, you want to use a shinier ball.  If you ar bowling where the lanes are slicker, then a reactive ball with resins in the particle stock. This helps the ball start to roll sooner and hook sooner too.

For questions on bowling balls, the pro shop at your local bowling alley is a tremendous resource to find the perfect ball for your style of bowling as well as your budget.

Four Step Approach

You will find there are several different approaches that bowlers use. Alot of depends on how comfortable they are. Personally, I used a three step approach for a long, long time.  I recently took some bowling lessons at my local bowling alley in Tampa – Pinchasers.  My game was pretty rough and I wasn’t picking up my spares. One of the first things he did was change my approach. The problem with my three step approach was that I was releasing the ball about three feet before the foul line. He had me move up and then decided to move me back to my original bowling starting point on the second set of  dots and change to the four step approach. I was stepping off with my left foot on the three step and now I had to start with my right foot. This was awkward for the next two weeks, but now it is like I have always done it that way and I am releasing the ball inches from the foul line.  My game has improved by forty or more points.

The whole point is that you want to release the ball as close to the foul line as possible. The ball has less distance to travel and it is easier to hit your aiming marks. My wife is using a five step approach as she always has, but she was releasing the ball at the foul line where I wasn’t.

One thing to do is to go to the foul and count your steps back to your starting point. This will give you and indication of the approach you should use. Generally, left handed bowlers should start off on their left  foot and right handed bowlers on their right foot with the slide step for the left handed bowler on  right foot and a right handed bowler the left foot.

For a right handed bowler

Start holding the ball up and your elbows close to your body. Holding the elbows in helps keep tension off your arms. Your head and feet should be facing forward.

Step off with the right foot and push the ball away forward and away from your body.

On the second step, start your swing backwards.

Hold the ball back on your third step. The ball should be at the peak height of the backswing.

As you start the fourth step, the ball comes forward for your release and then continue to follow through on your swing as your foot slides.

A few key points on the bowling approach:

Your feet should end up in approximately the positions relative to your starting position. If your slide foot was on the third dot from the right at the starting point, then it should be close to that at the release point. In other words, your approach should be straight and not end up to the left or right from where you started.

You should be balanced throughout the approach. You can easily tell if you are out of balance and start to fall to one side during your release.

Check to see where your slide foot is in relation to the foul line.  If you are too far back,  then you may need to move your starting position forward or use more steps.
