Developing and implementing bowling drills to break down your swing into smaller sections is the way to practice. It is often easier to isolate and improve a particular part of your swing than to try and change the whole swing at once.
Start by having a plan for every practice. Every minute of practice should be accounted for and you must strive to make every minute of practice count.
Practice plans help prevent your session from being unproductive.
Identify your limit for concentration during practice and restrict your shots to match that limit. If you can place complete focus on your practice shots for 20 consecutive shots but no more, limit your practice on a particular technique to just 20 shots.
Forcing additional deliveries if you are not fully focused on what you are trying to do can be counter-productive and a general waste of practice time.
If there are three keys to your swing you wish to work on, as example, then work on them one at a time. Make sure you feel like you have improved in the first element of your swing before moving on to the next.
This practice technique is an important one. It means that if you break your swing down into more manageable sections, you place maximum emphasis on one key at a time for the maximum amount of time you know you can focus on during the given practice session.
Choosing effective drills to help you to improve a key to your swing and then mastering them one at a time is a proven and reliable way to practice and see results.
Develop your practice plan and then embark on the plan by selecting one key to your swing at a time and work on it exclusively until you know it is time to move on to the next.
Controlled, specific practice will help you develop your game much quicker than just launching shot after shot down the lane in hopes of improvement.
