The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This week's tip is for all bowlers regardless of their skill level and it has to do with understanding the correct body position needed to execute a bowling shot and being able to duplicate it.
If you were to stand straight on the approach, facing the pins, letting the ball rest on you hand, you could not swing the ball straight without hitting your hip.
This is impossible to do without swinging the Ball around your hip because the ball is too big. This "roundhouse swing" is not able to be able to be duplicated shot after shot.
Therefore, you might be in a position to be able to swing the ball toward your desired target without any obstacles.
The tip: Get your head as far right (or to the left if you are left-handed) and tilt your bowling shoulder slightly downward.
Contrary ot what some of your fellow bowlers might tell you, you must drop your shoulder toward the floor in order to avoid the "roundhouse swing." At the same time, slightly open your hips and shoulder and you will be able to swing your arm straight toward your target time and time again.
Due to different physiologist, the exact position may vary slightly from person to person. Bur when correctly positioned, you can use gravity to control the tempo of your swing.
Note: If you were to shoot a game of pool, or go to a range and shoot a bow or rifle, note the position your head would have to be in to be effective in these activities. Also, next time you watch professional bowling on TV, make note of the bowler's body positions.
