If you are stuck in the 160 average range and are looking to raise your average, then use this simple tip to help you improve your accuracy.

While walking and swinging your bowling ball, keep your bowling shoulder facing your target.

The front part of your bowling shoulder should be used as a directional device facing your spot on the lane so you can easily follow through toward your target and become consistent in delivering your ball along your intended path down the lane.

Pretend you have a compact laser gun attached to the front part of your bowling shoulder and the red light of the laser beam streams precisely on your sight target on the lane.

When walking to the foul line swinging your ball, keep this red light beam pointing exactly on your aim point on the lane.

Of course this technique is simple mental imagery but it can be an effective training tool to help you align with your target and release your ball toward that target path.

One trick here is to take dead aim at your target regardless if you are aligning yourself to the pocket or to any given spare.

One way you can absolutely improve your bowling average is to convert routine spares so any technique which helps you improve your accuracy will also help improve your scores.

Accuracy is a matter of releasing your ball along your intended delivery path angle toward your target over and over again.

Keeping your bowling shoulder facing your target is certainly one way of improving accuracy. Another swing and release oriented technique to help you improve your accuracy to allow your bowling hand to follow through toward your sight target as your ball exits your hand. Swing and release alignment are integral parts of the game and those bowlers recording consistently high averages have developed sound technique in delivering their ball repeatedly directly at their sight targets on the lane.
