3. consult with an experienced bowling instructor and have your game examined with the talented eyes of the coach. Get a quick tune up to make sure your key fundamentals are in order before getting overly busy practicing poor physical game skills.
The two most important keys when returning to the game after a long absence are to consult both a pro shop professional for your equipment needs and a coach to help you restore, or improve, your physical game techniques.
Trying to do everything yourself can lead to a prolonged battle with poor performances if your game is not sharp due to the layoff time.
Expect to invest a little time and money preparing for your comeback. You will find that things are constantly changing in the world and must change to keep up with the conditions you will face upon returning to the lanes.
The biggest change in today’s game is the ever evolving bowling ball technology.
Technology offers all bowlers an enormous amount of tools to use in combating local lane conditions. Getting a consistent ball reaction and lining up to the pocket are your prime objectives. Make sure your equipment is ready to go when you jump back into competition.
Getting rid of the bowling rust is a simple matter of preparing your game and equipment while practicing to sharpen your game skills. Enjoy the game as it is today and have fun with your family, friends, and teammates.
