Hello,

This system is for using your strike ball. Trying to maintain the same release and same speed as your strike ball as well.

Hello Teri,

It is great to hear that you are still crushing it at 93 years young! It can be hard to help motivate others especially if they aren't motivated to bowl their best and win. It is possible that your teammates may benefit from doing treasurer work or being on their smart phone as it helps them not over think their bowling. I imagine the #1 goal is to have fun as this is something that gets you out of the house, so I would suggest just focus on doing the best that you can and be there for your teammates when they ask for your help as you can be someone they lean on for bowling advise. Good luck and good bowling!!

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for your comment! Hand position on release can change several things. If we are interpreting the hours on a clock the same then the closer you get to 9 o'clock the more side spin you will create. As you create side spin you will allow the bowling ball to skid more through the fronts and mid part of the lane allowing the bowling ball to converse some of its energy for the backend. This can be a useful tactic when the lanes start breaking down and you need the bowling ball to travel a little further down lane before it starts hooking towards the pocket. I hope this was helpful and thank you again for your comment! Good luck and good bowling!

Hello Van,

This article was talking about making side to side adjustments as opposed to front and back adjustments. Moving up or back on the approach can adjust your ball speed as you could be generating more or less power at the line. It can also adjust the lay down point of the bowling ball helping it read the lane a little bit earlier or helping the ball push through the front and mid lane just a little. Thank you for you comment!

Hello Tom,

This is a great question! There are many variables that come into play as the lanes begin to transition and you inevitably have to start moving. On a typical house shot with 4-5 bowlers per team (depending on where everyone is playing) the lanes tend to start hooking more as the night goes on and the oil is being displaced. Reading the lane and your ball reaction is key at this time. The typically move is to move your feet left to get the bowling ball to travel through more oil to help the bowling ball get through the front and mid lane. However, you still need your bowling ball to have energy down lane and be able to drive through the pins or else you're gonna have trouble carrying. Bowling is like a math problem at times, there can be multiple ways to get to the same answer. That being said you are looking for the option that gives you the most room for error and what you are most comfortable doing. Personally if I can adjust my feet and eyes down lane while still throwing the ball the same way (not having to adjust speed or my release) that would be my game plan as I am not having to change many variables as opposed to having to move left and adjust my release/speed of the bowling ball. The simpler you can make it the more consistent you will be. I hope this was helpful, good luck and good bowling!

Hello Michael,

From your description this sounds like a Brunswick Trac-Master from the 1960s-1970s. I am sure that your bowling ball has seen a lot of strikes in it's days. Such an awesome piece of bowling history, thank you for sharing!

I agree! Utilizing your hand position on the bowling ball gives you an added adjustment to help the bowling ball store the energy for going through the pins. Noticing the small details such as if your bowling ball is reading the lanes early and hitting high or if your bowling ball is skidding through the break point and not making it back to the pocket will help you determine if you need more side or forward roll. You made a great point that you do not want to help the ball as you should be letting the ball do the work. Thank you for your comment and good luck and good bowling!
