Mon, 11 Jan 2010 20:38:17 +0100

After reading the news that two lads recently bowled perfect 900 series, I've about gone off my dinger! Other than that legendary brammer Glenn Allison getting hosed in 1982 when he bowled the first 900, it took 87 years for the powers that be to decide to approve a 900 series, which took place when Jeremy Sonnenfeld chucked his on February 2, 1997. Since then a handful of gents have been approved for 900 series. Some gowk named Robert Mushtare had two approved....which we... read more

Eliminating the "Luck" Factor

"I just wasn't lucky today." "They got lucky on that one." "They are the luckiest bowler I have ever seen!" These statements and others like them are what I hear on a consistent basis while I am bowling my weekly leagues. Human beings need justification for events. When something happens that cannot be explained, an explanation is given whether it is correct or not. Sometimes these explanations include vague ideas to give a name for the occurrence.

My Week 18 bowling, frame-by-frame (Link to series on BowlSK) The skinny: I hit my AVG+1 yet again, but I was hoping for more after the first game. Splits and washouts mostly did me in, but I missed a makeable spare in each of the last 2 games, as well. Result: 243-160-198=601 Average (54 games):

Bowling Spares - A 'How To' Guide For Bowling Spares!

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:50:34 +0100
Do not underestimate the importance of knowing how to bowl spares. The only thing that I ever hear people talking about is how to bowl strikes. What about spares though?

Bowling Ball Care Tips

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:50:34 +0100
As a bowler, you need to develop your bowling techniques and also care for your bowling equipment, which in many times is very costly to purchase. This will help you conduct easy-going and smooth games through improving the games' conditions. We will be discussing a few methods through which you can take care of your bowling equipment; shoes, bags, and more. So, you might not know how to bowl very well but you should know how to care for your bowling equipment.

Switching Up the Back-Up Ball

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:50:34 +0100
Not every bowler throws the ball the same way. Some athletes rotate the ball in the opposite direction, instead of rotating in the direction of the pins, they rotate the ball in the direction of the gutter. This is referred to as a Back-Up ball. Essentially it causes a right handed bowler to play the same area of the lane as a left handed bowler would and vice versa.

Ten Pin Bowling Tips and Techniques

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:50:34 +0100
You might be wondering what ten pin bowling is. In the US, ten pin bowling is simply called "bowling", but the term "ten pin bowling" is especially used in the UK so it would not be mixed with other bowling types like five pin bowling or lawn bowling for example. Ten pin bowling can be enjoyed by all ages especially when the bowler knows the basics and needed techniques and tips.

Do Stretching Exercises Before a Bowling Game

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:50:34 +0100
Though many think of bowling as a non-physical game, it does (to a certain extent) involve physical action and requires a lot of bodily movements. The swinging and bowling ball's rolling are all bodily movements that require physical effort and putting a considerable amount of stress on muscles and joints. While most people do not do stretching before a bowling game, we will guide you through some stretching tips that will help you become a better bowler.

JASON THOMAS: Smallwood: The Anti-Tiger?

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 16:56:32 +0100

For quite some time, one of the favorite "magic bullet" solutions for "saving" bowling has been to find bowling's version of Tiger Woods. Then, suddenly, Tiger Woods' Red Giant of a star collapses and, shortly after that, a very unassuming and very unemployed auto worker from Detroit becomes PBA World Champion. So does the solution still apply? Does bowling need a Tiger Woods?

How to Control Emotions During a Bowling Game

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:41:21 +0100
It's pretty common to see bowlers emotional at games especially when most of their pins get struck from the first time. The disadvantage that many people overlook is that they let their emotions take over in games and they would eventually work against you. The key to all games is to calm down and to let your reactions be a response to the entire game's success and not just a couple of pins which might give you over-confidence and later causing you to perform poorly.

How to Bowl 200 Plus - Are You Mentally Ready?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 23:41:14 +0100
For a long time now I've had my eye on the magic number, 200. In bowling, it's the number where you can no longer be called a handicapped bowler. Anything less than that means you need the help of a mathematical boost in order to compete against the top tier of bowlers -- well, at least the top tier of amateur bowlers. So I was quite taken aback when I checked out a bowling coach's web site and was confronted with the question: Why do you want a 200-plus average. This article is my response.

Begin to Adjust For Success

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:41:04 +0100
Adjustments are the key to success in the sport of bowling. The bowler who can make the best adjustments can perform well under any condition and will usually outscore everyone else. One of the most difficult things to do in bowling is to make the right adjustment. There are many factors involved with making adjustments and knowledge is the best tool a bowler can possess when it comes down to adjusting their game to fit the conditions.

A linebacker must follow through with the tackle to ensure the ball carrier will not break free. The kicker must bring his leg completely through the kick to be accurate and have power. Basketball players must follow through on their shot to be accurate and baseball players and golf... read more
