When you need a strike in a key pressure situation, commit to your bowling target.

So often bowlers will try so hard to strike when bowling under the gun that they simply take their eye off of their sighting target and think instead getting rid of the ball and hoping for a strike.

Pressure can adversely affect anyone. If you would like a simple and quick tip to help you make a good shot when you need it most, then take dead aim at your target.

When you think only about your physical game motion through every step of your approach, you risk losing your feel, your instinct to make a clean and effective release of your bowling ball.

Instead of risking becoming mechanical by bowling with super-tense muscles in your legs and swing, trust the freedom of your swing motion and keep your eye on the target.

Your brain is key in recalling how to make a good shot. It is your brains which remembers your best bowling muscle motion. Send your brain the signal to deliver your ball over your target on the lane.

Keeping your eyes focused sharply on where you want the ball to travel down the lane is an essential ingredient in reading the lane conditions and making good decisions on adjustments when you begin losing a good ball reaction.



By placing full commitment to delivering your ball precisely over the target, your brain will automatically communicate the right messages to your body so you make good shots.

Avoid peeking up at the pins too soon when releasing your bowling ball.

It takes less than a second of time for your ball to reach the sighting target at the bowling arrows and about 2.5 seconds plus or minus .3 seconds to reach the pocket for most top tier players.

Commit to your bowling target.

Accuracy is developed through physical game discipline and from your mental strategy of trusting your game and committing to hitting your target.
