Prolly cos the bowling ball has shrunk what with the cold, why have you put this in the winter section?

I had similar problems with my fingers when I started playing guitar. My pinky never wanted to cooperate. It just takes lots of practice. Sometimes you have to use whatever finger works best for the particular chord you are trying to play. Good Luck!!

The best grip is whichever is most comfortable to yourself.  The top hand should be the most dominant however to allow more control when batting.  This allows for the ball to be played along the floor more giving you less chance of being caught.  Soft hands are used when a quick bowler is bowling therefore allowing for the ball to drop to the floor quicker if an edge is found.

hi there, \nmy name is rathish and i will help you if you want to swing a cricket ball,if its a leather ball then you need to hold the shinier side of the leather ball angling away from the batsman for an outswing and for inswing angle the shinier side of the leather ball towards the batsman.hold the thumb at the bottom of the ball and the index and the middle finger on the seam of the ball for a normal delivery if you want to swing the new ball keep the index finger on the seam and the middle finger slightly away from the seam for inswing for outswing the index finger should be pointing to slips and the middle finger should be on the seam on the ball,if you want to swing a tennis ball u should have pace or the ball must be slightly worn for you swing the ball.

this happens only to men, I think.  And it happens only to very skinny people.  I experience that too. Make sure your belt it tight.  If your jeans nearly touch the ground, that's a problem.  Fold it up or get shorter pants-- it feels better.

It depends highly on your play style. If you're used to throwing house balls, which are plastic with a static core, then it'll take a lot of practice to get used to the custom balls. They have what's called a "dynamic" core; it's smaller, more dense, and helps impart spin on the ball to create the hook you see professional bowlers throwing. Choose a comfortable weight; remember that lighter balls won't have the same power through the pocket as heavy ones, but heavy balls are harder to throw and sometimes control. In the long run, choose a ball that just -feels- right to you. Trust a bowling alley's pro shop owner with the decisions he gives for you, and ask the guy a LOT of questions, because he'll know the answers.

Lol nice try pal...Bowling has nothing about horse racing..But..Its all in your wrist holding the ball at 1o'clock  and snapping the wrist when throwing it will create a curve...But having someone showing u will help ...

Use the other hand! The curving happens because of the direction the penis points to when the hand is at the base of the penis. To minimize the curving, alternate the use of your hands! (It's not gonna be easy).\nAlso, your underwear and how your penis is placed inside it will affect the curving.

What type of grip are you using on your fastball? Are you throwing two seam or four seam?  For maximum velocity from grip, grip the ball with the tips of your fingers and less bottom finger/palm.  Note: you will lose some control of these pitches, so don't introduce them until you have found a comfortable fingertip grip.  Another suggestion, talk to your pitching/catching coach! \nOther than that, you need to have maximum extension of your throwing arm...think of your arm as a whip.  Start doing some exercises to increase your thighs, as they provide a solid source of core power/velocity.

I can't believe there is a curling category and not bowling!!! What is up with that?!?!?\n\nAnyway, help on your spares....This would be good for you too scrappy. Of course you want strikes, always. There is no secret for leaving easy spares. You leave what you leave. You work on spare shots. If you know people in high places (or work in the bowling alley ;-D) you can set up spares yourself.\n\nIf not, here's what you do. Corner pins are the hardest single pin conversion. More specifically, the ten pin for righties, the seven for lefties. Instead of throwing your ball at the pocket on your first ball, practicing shooting the ten pin. Never mind that it's a full rack...just shoot the ten. On you second ball, you can either choose to shoot the pocket for a conversion, or practice on the seven pin.\n\nRemember, just because you have a full rack standing, doesn't mean you have to knock them all down! Another good idea is forget keeping score. It only plays with your mind. Just get out there and through some good shots. \n\nIf you have problems converting the ten pin, here's my suggestion. You need to learn to be able to read oil patterns in lanes. This takes years...be patient. But you need to be comfortable in looking everywhere on the lane. When reading oil patterns on a first ball, I always start my shot on the 10 board at the arrows and adjust from there. \n\nFor spares, I do something a little different. When I shoot anything on the left side, I look about three boards to the right of the pin on the curtain on the machine. I know my ball is going to break and pick up that single.\n\nFor anything on the right side, particularly the ten, I look at about 2 inches in front of the pin and focus in on the shadow of the pin....and I throw that ball as hard and as fast and as straight as I can. \n\nI hope this helps you a little bit. If there's anything else you'd like advice on, feel free to email me. gojenni714@yahoo.com

I like 5 pin bowling\nthe ball is not as heavy \nin 10 pin bowling you have to put your fingers in those holes, yuck!

The put the finger on the outside just to protect it a little bit.  The index finger is right next to the pocket of the glove and often takes a beating from hard ground balls or hard throws.  Some players prefer to put both the pinky and ring finger in the pinky finger of the glove and move the middle and index finger into the next two fingers of the glove so that the index finger of the glove is empty.  This moves the index finger further from the pocket.

Do what the last poster said, and if you can, get some spit or grease on your middle and index fingers.  Cheating?  Not if you don't get caught, and you -can- go to your mouth off the hill in pro ball.  The object is to make the ball slip out of your hand with as little spin as possible; backspin on a fastball keeps it from dropping, and the dead spin on a forkball causes a drop.  Spit and grease are great for this :)  Actually, the best split finger would be a pitch with no spin- a 90 mph knuckleball... :)

*** Asumption of a Right Handed Bowler - Reverse if left handed ***\n\nStand with your middle to of your left foot (slide foot) on the middle dot (The Big one), holding the ball at hip level.\n\nPush ball straight away from you when you take your first step.  Ball should swing naturally, and should not be forced during delivery.\n\nAs you continue through your approach, release the ball toward the head pin and follow through with your hand, such as you were going to shake hands with the head pin, with your thumb up in the air, bring your arm all the way up to your right ear.  Your follow through is the most important part of your delivery, as it tells you where the ball is going to go.\n\nThe ball should travel near the third arrow, or just right of it and should hit the pins just to the right of the head pin.\n\nThis should get you off on the right start.  Good Luck.

Tape the lower part of the bat at the knob, then lower your hand on the bat so your pinky is curled under the bat this cocks your wrist and increases bat speed as you get used to it you will enetually drop a seconed finger you will be surprised. many pro's do same

Hmm...maybe your hand isn't big enough?  When I grip the football, I hold it so that my pinkie finger is on the third from the top open space, with my other finger (the one between the middle and pinkie) on the top space.  I don't think this is what the pros do, but it works.  The only problem is occasionally, I don't get any spiral at all, but that probably has to do with mechanics.\n\nLook at how Favre grips the ball.
