Every great bowler demonstrates discipline under pressure by trusting their swings, releases, and by showing bowling swing patience.
Regardless of your bowling successes as an advanced player, you must trust your swing.
Trust your backswing and forward swing paths and keep your down lane target in mind.
When your swing is in the groove, in the right direction swinging your bowling ball back to the top of your swing height relative to your bowling shoulder, you can then slightly realign your forward swing to match with your intended ball delivery path toward your sighting target.
Trusting your swing also means you trust your walking path. It is common knowledge that your walking path influences your back and forward swing paths.
If you walk a consistent path to the line and make a backswing on your intended swing path, then you can certainly trust your forward swing and release to follow your intended path.
In competition, you cannot think about every inch your swing moves but rather you must focus on the overall points in making a good shot by trusting your swing and release mechanism.
Your swing path is not the only component in using bowling swing patience, however.
It is vital to not force your forward swing from the top of your backswing to the release point near or at the bottom of your forward swing arc.
Trusting your swing also infers that you avoid any forcing of your downswing by grabbing your bowling ball and hurrying your forward swing beyond your intended swing pace.
Use the gravity swing notion to allow the first 12 or so inches of your downswing to free fall smoothly into the downswing and then you can accelerate your swing gradually all the way to a full follow-through position.
If you trust your swing alignment path and the pace of your swing, you will demonstrate good patience and thereby develop the ability of making repeated good shots.
Trust your swing tempo and swing direction and reap the rewards of a consistent ball reaction.
