They’re the foundations on which you build your game. It’s important to remember these two basics principles. Pin number 10? Move a further 6 boards to the left (this will be approximately 7-8 boards left of your original strike position).Pin number 6? Move a further 3 boards to the left.Pin number 3? Move about 1 board to the left.It’s more or less the same principle for the other side of the lane too, but because you’d normally hit part of the 3 pins if you were aiming for a strike, you don’t need to move your feet quite as much. Depending on what pin is remaining will determine how much you should move: If the pin/s are to the right of the pocket, move your feet left. If the pin/s are to the left of the pocket, then move your feet right, keeping the same pivot point (third arrow). However, if you have pins remaining, you need to apply basic principle No.2. Normally you’d want to hit the pocket with your first ball to get a strike. There’s another basic principle for picking up spares. Remember though, you can’t make these adjustments unless you’re sure your aim was accurate in the first place. While you’re adjusting you’ll need to make sure your front sight (third arrow) remains the same – it’s your pivot point. You don't have to move too much, probably somewhere between one and three boards will do the trick.
If you’re missing to the left, move your feet left. If you’re missing to the right, then move your feet more right. If your aim (see previous section) is accurate and you’re still missing, then try adjusting your position slightly. In order to get a strike you need to get the ball in the pocket (between the headpin and 3rd pin to the right). Practice your steps before taking your turn to check your distance and make sure you are happy with your technique.
#TEN PIN BOWLING HOW TO#
Accuracy will always win over brute strength, but you’ll need to know how to aim properly first! Think of your approach to be a smooth, controlled walk, swing and roll. You should arrive at (just before) the foul line at the same time as letting go (the release) of the ball. Your final step should finish in a slide, bringing you to a controlled stop. Your second and third steps should increase (very slightly) in length and speed. On your second step, put your opposite arm out to the side to help you balance. The ball will now go into a natural swing as you continue your approach. This will help to gain momentum, which is needed, as opposed to strength. On your first step, the ball should be pushed out in front of you at arm's length (known as the push-away). So step right first if you’re right-handed and vice versa. Most bowlers use a four-step approach, which means starting just over four steps away from the foul line.īegin by stepping onto the same leg as the arm you bowl with. This is the name given to the runway area before the start of the lane, and also describes the action you go through just before releasing the ball.īefore you start bowling you need to find your starting position. It’s important that you’re able to move freely when bowling, so make sure you wear something comfy. Please take care when picking up and putting down the balls to avoid hurting your lovely little fingers, or back. Your perfect ball should be comfortable to hold and not too tight on the grip, allowing your two middle fingers to be inserted down to the second joint.
