Your Bowling Limitations
By: bowlingball.com, 12/8/15
With all of the tips and coaching available today and with all of the modern bowling ball technology, it can sometimes become overwhelming to choose which elements of your game to address first when you need to tune your game.
No bowler has the capability to master each and every facet of the game so it is vital to know the few keys to your game and avoid unneeded changes when you are working on your game.
Stick to the areas of your game you do best when you are bowling your best.
As example, if you are not a power player with a high rev-rate, avoid the temptation to try to add excessive power to your game but rather, smoothen your approach and release and rely on the techniques which made you a very highly skilled player.
Be natural with your game, with your steps, swing, and delivery motion so under the pressure of competition, you stand the greatest chance of making good shots when they count most.
Most successful amateur and professional players have one or two outstanding features to their games. Knowing your strengths and relying on them in competition allow you to focus on playing the game in front of you and not bog down too much thinking about how you are walking and delivering your bowling ball.
During competition, it is tough enough playing the oil patterns and adjusting as lane conditions change. Why add complicated thoughts to your system of bowling in competition by thinking far too much about the mechanics of your approach and delivery technique.
Instead, trust your game, read the lanes, and use your best matching equipment to give yourself the chance to succeed.
If you focus on trying to do too many physical adjustments if you are not getting a good ball reaction, you risk prolonging the time you bowl poorly.
Every great bowler in history experiences highs and lows with their games and so will you, particularly when bowling in competitive leagues or tournaments. Go with what you do best and save experimentation on your game for the practice lanes.
Know your bowling limitations and trust your game and your abilities to make good decisions while bowling in stiff competition.
