I remember when I was younger, going to the bowling alley was fun cause I wanted to was the bumpers. I couldn’t keep the bowling ball on the lane so I needed to use the bumpers. As I got older and better at bowling, I didn’t need to use the bumpers so in this post how do you bowl without using the bumpers.
The bumpers:
The bumpers are rails in the gutter that helps keep your ball on the lane while bowling. You can roll the ball into the bumpers and the ball will bounce off into the other side and hit those bumpers. It’s mainly made for kids who can’t really bowl.
The first thing you must do id to learn how to bowl and hit the pocket and learn how to keep the bowl on the lane. I order to bowl better you have to take off the training wheels (the bumpers) and learn to bowl without the bumpers. You can take them off by using the kiosks in front of the lane. Back in the day, you had to put down the bumpers by hand every time you bowl. These days the system will pull up the bumpers for anyone who is bowling.
How to keep the bowling ball on the lane:
You can use the house ball but the easy to keep it on the lane is time as you swing the ball, you keep your arm straight as possible. The lighter the ball you easy the harder it is to control it. The heavier the ball the easier it is to control it. You can always buy your own ball that hooks as well.
