Tips for bowling – Grips
Bowling balls have a standard 3 holes. Grip your ball (it helps while you read this you have a bowling ball in hand), the thumb goes all the way through the hole and the fingers goes until the second knuckle (finger knuckle). Does it resemble the way other bowlers on the center grip the ball?
Tips for bowling – Form
If you’re going for a hook, have your support at the side slightly tilting the ball. For more reference on how to make a hook bowling ball, look for my article entitled ‘How to Perform a Hook Bowling Ball’. The proper starting form would be: stand straight, feet together pointing forward, knees bent very slightly, bowling arm elbow kept close to the wrist and the hip gripping the ball firm and in a ready delivery.
Tips for bowling – Swing
As you start the approach, try to mentally set a four step approach. As you complete the sliding fourth step, swing your gripping arm towards your target, stooping slightly to roll the ball and release. I can not stress this enough: always observe the other players do the forms, you will gain enough information on how to execute yours.

Maybe because I always see groups of newbie fumbling over the next lane, too insufferable that watching them utterly breaks my concentration. Watching those poor oafs gave me enough motivation to share some secrets other seasoned players loathe to share. At least, any newbie who may read this page might gain enough information not to look ridiculous during a game.
