To be honest with you are the start I do not bowling in the dark when the bowling turns off the light for the late night, after hours, club scene. I take bowling seriously so bowling in the dark is not my thing but I understand some people just want to hang out and have fun. I have also part time in these times just to hang out with friends not taking bowling serious. If you want to know how to bowl in the dark, here’s my tips.
Play the lane:
When those lights go out and you can’t see what’s going on, the best thing you can do is to remember where you place your bowling ball at is the key. Since you can’t see the arrows on the floor or see the boards on the lanes, just try to remember where you stand and where you place the bowl will help
What I like to do is to play total different lines and boards on the floor. Sometimes you can just pick a spot on the floor to roll to or pick a strip on the floor for a target. I also like to look for the arrows which you could see a little bit on the floor. If you can find the arrows, you can at least have something to roll the ball to.
Bowling in the dark will help you bowl better:
Yes you heard this first from me. Bowling in the dark will help you bowl better and it will give you a new skill set to use. Since you have to bowl and do things total different while in the dark, it helps with you trying different places on the floor which you would not tried before. Since you can’t see much, you have to use instinct and your mind to bowl.
So I avoid bowling in the dark all the way but if you are bowling and the alley turns off the lights, try to see if you can bowl in the dark and try something different. Try bowling total different.
