It’s nuts how you can be hitting the pocket in bowling and getting strikes in one game and have great score and the next game you are hitting the pocket and you can’t strike at all and you are leaving ten pins and single pin spares. This is no fun and the reason this is happing is you lost your carry or the when you hit the pocket, you are not striking and leaving single pins. What needs to happen is that you need in increase your ball carry when hitting the pocket but how do you increase your ball carry?
What is the best ways for a bowler to increase their carry?
So I myself have this problem and there are a few ways to increase your ball carry. One of the easiest ways make a move on the lane or side 1 or 2 boards to the left if you are right handed or 1 or 2 boards to right if you are left handed. by moving a little bit, that may help with your carry. That is the first thing I would when I need more carry.
The next thing I would do is increase your bowling ball speed. The way I increase my bowl speed is by stepping back on my approach maybe 3 to 4 inches. The farther back you are when from the foul line, the power and speed you will have on the ball. The closer you are to the foul line, the less speed you will have.
The next thing you can do is change your bowling ball. By using a different bowling ball, you can change how the bowling ball hits the pocket.
These are just 3 tips on increasing your ball speed.
