How Can I Improve My Bowling Pre-Shot Routine?

Publish Date: 11/6/15

If you ask "how can I improve my bowling pre-shot routine?", then start by not aiming too long before bowling.

Some of the very top players in professional history did not aim longer than 1 or 2 seconds on the approach before bowling.

Aiming a long time does not improve your shot making ability, it can only lead to tension in your bowling arm, neck, or shoulders.

Make crisp decisions where you wish to align yourself on the approach and where you wish to aim on the lane before stepping onto the approach.

When you pick up your bowling ball off of the rack, take a deep breath or two to reduce anxiety and settle your mind before stepping onto the approach.

Once on the approach, set your stance position comfortably, get a proper grip on the bowling ball, take a quick look at your spot on the lane, and then bowl.

Hesitation causes indecision.

Make up your mind about playing the lanes and about any slight adjustments you may wish to make with your physical motion before stepping onto the approach.

Once on the approach, trust your decisions and aim only for a second or two before taking your first step.






If you aim for 5 seconds or longer, you risk tensing your muscles and allowing your mind to wander which can lead to errant deliveries.

Get ready behind the approach, get set on the approach, and then bowl.

If you learn to develop trust in your game, you can be very nervous but still make a quality shot.

Groove your game on the practice lanes. Trust yourself to make good shots in competition. Reduce aim time.

These simple keys can help you develop an effective pre-shot routine.
