Making improvements to your game means paying attention to some details and seemingly lesser important physical movements.
Any bowler of any skill level can improve their physical game by choosing one aspect of their game to work on before launching into another. Selecting just one area of focus can drastically change your game for the better.
Everyone must deal with balance while walking, swinging, and releasing the bowling ball.
Balance is a good place to start if you want to monitor your game for things which can lead to improvement.
Bowl with no head movement if you face challenging lane conditions where accuracy and bowling ball control are at a premium.
As a rule of thumb, the tougher condition the oil pattern creates, the more stable you must be while delivering your bowling ball.
Body stability stems from eliminating unneeded upper body movement wherever possible. Having good core balance and a strong stance after delivery are key to a successful game.
If you develop the skills to keep your head in place and not move it up, down, or side to side during your approach and delivery, your chances at improving accuracy improve correspondingly.
Visualize balancing a full glass of water on top of your head while you bowl and trying not to spill a drop of water.
In order to do this, you must make certain you relax your neck, shoulder, and leg muscles so you can glide to the foul line without bouncing or thrusting your upper body in an effort to apply power to your release while also maintaining balance.
Balance becomes a physical premium.
Another factor required to maintain good body balance is the tempo of your approach movements. Consistent tempo allows you to move at a steady pace from shot to shot so you adapt to eliminating wasted body motion throughout your approach. Your head is a balance point isolating and containing unneeded body movements. Sudden upper body movements may interrupt an otherwise good shot. Reduce head movement when bowling and improve your balance and your frequency in making good shots.
