Practice makes perfect

You have to practice if you want to improve.

Evaluate your stance. Shoulders square, knees bent and holding the ball waist high will improve deliver.

Approach

Check to see how close you are to the foul line when you deliver the ball. Being about four inches from the foul line is best for optimum delivery.Get more information here. http://tourreport.pgatour.com/2012/07/15/on-the-mark-strickers-wedge-brilliance/

Timing

It’s all about perfecting your timing. Your swing and steps must be in cadence. If one or the other is off, your release will be off.

Grip

How are you gripping the ball? Don’t use the tip of your thumb to grip. Squeeze the ball with the palm and don’t bend your thumb.

Follow-Thru

As you let go of the ball, remember to complete your swing. Swing your arm upward as the ball is released.

These basic tips will help you improve your bowling technique. Practice will improve consistency and over time will improve your technique.
