A Simple Bowling Swing Tip

By: bowlingball.com, 5/15/16

If you are searching for a simple bowling swing tip, visualize you are bowling on a very oily lane condition where your bowling ball skids longer than needed and where your ball speed becomes critical.

If you think about bowling on a very oily lane where you need not overpower the lane with brute force or pure speed, you can regain a smooth tempo with a repetitive feel each shot.

Using loose and free backswing will establish a consistent motion and regulate the tempo in your complete swing cycle.

Also, maintain consistent gripping pressure on your bowling ball throughout your swing which, in turn, helps you control your bowling ball skid distance and restore a reliable ball reaction.

This technique can be used on extremely dry lanes where it is absolutely necessary to not allow your ball reaction to get away from you by trying to help the ball hook with your hand at the moment you release your ball.

Instead, allow the force of gravity to drop your ball from the top of the backswing into the downswing and use little release rotation with your bowling fingers so you can control the ball skid distance and ultimately, as in the case of very oily lanes, get a reliable ball reaction at the breakpoint to the pocket.



If you think in terms of achieving an effortless swing motion, your speed control improves as will your ball reaction.

If you are not a power player who relies on extreme force to propel your ball down the lane, using an effortless swing tempo back and through to a full but unhurried follow through motion will be a technique you can trust.

This technique promotes accuracy and helps you project your ball down the lane consistently to overcome very dry lane conditions or helps you to get your ball to react soon enough on oily conditions.

Avoid force in your swing motion or in your hand action at the point of release.

Trust your release by using this effortless swing motion when you bowl on challenging lane conditions and develop your game to compete with your opponents effectively.
