Two important factors of any repetitive and consistent swing are good tempo and good directional alignment down an intended bowling ball delivery path.
Work on the tempo or rhythm of your swing before anything else.
A well timed swing using a smooth tempo back and through to completion of the swing cycle is the objective.
If you have a fast swing tempo, make sure you do not force your forward swing and release or cut short your backswing height out of anticipation of delivering a powerful strike.
If your natural swing tempo is on the slow side, then make sure you eliminate as much arm tension as possible to your swing is fluid and can complete the swing cycle in an uninterrupted fashion.
If each swing you make takes the identical elapsed time from the beginning of the swing through the completion of your follow through motion, you swing becomes repetitive.
Under pressures of a tournament, it becomes critical to trust your swing motion and never force your release.
Regardless of the angle of attack you take when delivering your ball, your forward swing should be tight to your body and in the direction of your intended delivery path.
Tempo and direction are undoubtedly the keys to a disciplined swing.
If you are preparing your game for a tournament, work on your swing pace and direction during practice sessions so you feel each release by making accurate shots toward your sighting target.
