Starting out in bowling is not that easy like people think because bowling is more metal game than anything else. If you keep bowling, over time you will get better. If someone comes to me asking what are some good strategies for bowling so they can improve their game. I would tell them these things below:
What are some good strategies for beginner bowlers wanting to improve their game?
The best tip I can tell people is to practice as much as you can. If you don’t bowl for a very long time maybe a year or so, then you may lose some skills. Bowling is about timing, so the more you bowl the better timing that you have.
If you are just staring out and you don’t have a lot of money for bowling equipment, then I would say buy some used bowling balls and used equipment that is in good shape. You can find used bowling gear at the bowling alley at the bowling shops or try online at places like https://www.facebook.com/marketplace and https://cleveland.craigslist.org/ to se other people posting their bowling gear online.
You can get good deals online or offline and this way you can save some money so you can buy more games to bowl.
Join a bowling league:
Joining a bowling league will not only help you bowl better but with a league you can save money on games at the bowling alley. Ask the bowling center if they have bowling league deals for people who are bowling in a league.
Most times you can get good deals on games and food at the bowling once you join a bowling league. With these deals you can save money and bowl more and with joining a league, you bowl e=once a week so that can make you better. Don’t worry about your score, bowling leagues have handicap for everyone to use to better their score and don’t worry about your pins. In a bowling league, you can really see what’s missing in your game.
If you miss a lot of ten pins, then the next time you practice you should practice getting that pin. After I bowl in my league, I see what pins I missed so I can work on that and how to hit the pocket better. Bowling leagues does help you in the long run to you can see what’s missing.
Practice is the key to bowling:
Yes practice is the best thing that you can do in bowling and don’t do what other bowlers do when practicing, they just try to get as many strikes as they can which is fine but the main thing that you must do when you go to practice is to work on the things that you can’t do. you must learn how to play the whole floor.
You must know how to play straight or down and in and you must know how to swing the bowl with a hook. You must know how to bowl a fresh oil lanes and how to bowl on dry lanes. Some people just can’t move from that from that one spot on the floor and their bowling ball is going high on every shot but they can’t move from that spot because they don’t know how to.
Try bowling in different spots on the floor, try getting pins that give you a hard time and do all this in practice. Sometime I go practice on my timing and release on the bowling ball I not caring about my score at all. Maybe work on foot work or work on your foul line shot. Work on the things that gives you a hard time in practice and find how to solve them. These are just some good strategies for beginner bowlers wanting to improve their game.
