How to Practice Bowling at the Lanes
- 1). Do not worry about your score while practicing. Don't even look. Instead, worry about what you are trying to learn or improve.
- 2). Focus on every single shot. Focus, but relax.
- 3). Have a goal for each delivery, something specific you are trying to make happen.
- 4). Experiment with new delivery and different techniques. Since you are not keeping score, this is the time to find out what works and what doesn't.
- 5). Practice for timing and rhythm. Use a stop watch to time you approach (first step to release). Time your release to impact time. Work toward consistency.
- 6). Befriend the lane operator and casually let him know you are practicing. Operators are generally good bowlers and may have some tips for you, and also can help you get a quiet lane all to yourself.
- 7). Take a lesson and ask your instructor for some drills to work on your particular deficencies.
- 8). Get someone to watch your body mechanics and give you some constructive criticism.
