The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This week's tip is a reminder that although there are so many aggressive high performance bowling balls available, the main component of the sport is having a sharp game and becoming a good shot maker.
Lane conditions today have become very soft and that combination with today's bowling balls has led to high scoring conditions.
These conditions make the majority of today's bowlers very complacent about working on their physical game and what hopefully will save bowling are the Sport Bowling Leagues.
These leagues make bowlers learn how to adjust to varying lane conditions and understand how to use today's bowling balls becomes only part of the equation.
For those bowlers who want to maximize their potential in this sport, I cannot stress enough the importance of finding a qualified and certified bowling instructor. Finding an instructor who uses video technology to completely analyze your game will be very helpful.
The knowledge you gain from a Certified Instructor is knowledge that will be useful to you and will stay with you throughout your bowling life.
