Free Your Mind To Free Your Bowling Swing

If you feel your mechanics have become rigid and “robotic”, free your mind to free your bowling swing.

As a simple bowling swing tip, loosen up your body muscles as you walk and swing your bowling ball.

For starters, free your mind from clutter and thinking about every little movement you make during your approach.

Think of a smooth start to your approach and a well balanced finish. Between, just focus on your target and allow your body to perform as it has been trained.

Relax your legs, neck, shoulder, and arm muscles as a part of your pre-shot routine.

Trying so hard to make a good shot and strike can actually work against you and you reach a point where nothing seems to flow smoothly or in one continuous motion.

During practice, work on trusting your swing movement. Allow the forces of gravity to assist you swinging your bowling ball freely.

Maintain consistent gripping pressure on your bowling ball throughout your swing.

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

Matching your mental preparation to a newly developing free swing motion is key to repeating quality shots. Relax your mind and trust in the physical forces of gravity to help you walk smoothly and swing your bowling ball using little or no force. Less physical effort can produce consistently desirable results.
