                                    Bowling Tip
                                By Mike Luongo 

    Bowlers: This week's tip is for any bowler who ends up out of balance at the foul line when delivering a bowling ball.
  If you find your self unable to finish your delivery in a strong balanced position, it may be a result of your follow through.
  It is important that when you follow through on your delivery, you do not reach OUT with your arm. but UP with your follow through.  The reason?
  If you reach out, the weight of the ball will pull your upper body forward and may cause you to lose your balance. If you reach up, you can stay planted in a strong, solid position to deliver your bowling ball with accuracy and leverage.
