Why can't I ever win at 10 pin bowling?

first of all, bowling like any sport takes time and practice to learn.\n\nyes, anyone can roll a bowling ball down a lane, but, it takes lots of hard work, practice and a good coach to get to the higher levels of the sport.\n\nthe average person who does not do any trainig and bowls once a week in a league can usually maintain an average of arourn 120 - 160.\n\nto find out more details of coachs and training opportunities contact your local registered (either if in US, USBC or if Australia, TBAL or other national tenpin bowling body)tenpin bowling center, and they should be able to point you in the right directetion.

problems with your footwork ???\n1)just before the australian tour in 2003 surave ganguly took some advice from greg chappell.The key factor is the mind! try to have a clear empty mind.....and ganguly came up with that majestic 144 at brisbane.\n\n* just like I said footwork depends on the ease with u approach the ball.In your case there might a slight fear for pace-bowling-what kind of ball do you use for playing?? Use some protection like gloves,pads. that removes the 'fear' part out of the equation.When u fear pace bowling you tend to clamp your legs together & that puts you to the back foot.try to draw yourselves to the front-foot.\n\n2)technical part\n* getting on the back-foot might give enough time to play a fast bowler.But for a fullish delivary try to get to the front foot.there is no better feeling for a batsman than driving a pace bowler .\n\n*In the initial stages of the game your feet -movement might get tentative. here’s what I do-just because most pace bowlers try to pitch the ball up to u, try to draw yourselves to the front foot .feel the sound of wood hitting the leather .For a shorter ball ,play a firm defensive shot off the back foot with authority. It gives u so much confidence\n\n3) Drills-\nThis one was introduced by Greg Chappell in the Indian team--mainly meant for sehwag. It helps in both hand eye coordination & footwork.\n*Get a friend to throw a ball at you. Now, u are supposed to catch it (with a single hand, I think-not sure)--but in the process, get to the best possible position to play a ball of similar length. I don't know how much this works or if there are any more details to it. But it must be good or else they won't make international players to do this.\n\n4) Playing mind games with bowler - fast bowlers are known for their aggression. Never let them take control. They feed on your fear! But u needn't play a blazing innings-all u have to do is to give them a sample of your technic ( follow this link for improving your general technic in batting. Its a link to an answer I recently gave           http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Aq.rzGkEds2ItVg43Vk_p5vsy6IX?qid=1006060102109          )\n\nPace bowlers have highest degree of respect for players like Dravid. Make them feel you aren't an easy catch-give them an impression they have to earn your wicket\n\nThings to keep in mind-\n1) Get your front foot to the pitch of the ball\n2) Leave not much room between bat & pad when u attempt a shot ( be compact)\n\n**Players like ponting have an initial forward movement, then make adjustments according to the length. This is something u can try if nothing else works. This keeps your feet always in turbo mode)\n\n*Through out the entire article I've stressed the need for a clear mind. Even Gregg Chappell, one of the greatest learners of the game feels so!!\n\nI’m having so much work. But felt this question needs attention. Mail me if it works!!

I don't think there is one, best bowling ball on the market. Every ball is different because every bowler is different. If you're looking to buy a ball, we'd need to know what kind of line you throw to be able to give you advice on what would work best for you.

The easiest way is to win all the games. You can lose some in the early rounds when it is round robin.

Make the bowling stronger you automatically win. First 6 overs to opening bowlers. thats 12 overs. Than a medium pacer and a spinner 10 overs. thats 12+20 = 32. Now Bring in a prt time bowler who bowls about tree overs and the pacer who has not yet bowled. Go with him for 10 overs and after the partime bowlers jobs over bring in the second opening bowler. finish his 9 overs nd best bowlers ten. If a bowler is not bowling well than use a five man spell which means each bowler gets an over after five overs. That will make some confussion to a bats man. and good luck with the batting.(Choose the best fielding. choose the fieling where batsman hits the most) good luck.

In my opinion i think the perfect game in bowling is the hardest. Why, because you have 12 times the throw a ball down a lane and hope that, each time you throw it, you knock over 10 pins.  I've had better luck getting close to a hole in one the first year i played golf in high school.  The home run would be a little easier for me then any of the others.  Hit one back in high school on a 350 field from a coach that used to play in the minors

A bowler can bowl only 20% of the quota of his team. Normally if the match goes full distance when his team is fielding, the team bowls 50 overs and he can bowl 20% of 50 overs, which is 10 overs.\nHowever, if overs are reduced on account of rain or calmity and the overs are reduced to 25 overs, each bowler can not bowl more than 5 overs. However, if the number of overs are not exactly divisible by 5 and you get fraction, i.e. if overs are 28 overs, than 3 bowlers can bowl 6 overs and rest two can bowl 5 overs each.\n\nIn short it can not exceed 20% in a full game and in case of reduced game match it could exceed 20% , but only by that fraction as explained above.

You don't say how much of a "beginner" you are but the first thing you should do to start off is to have your own ball (proper weight) properly drilled at a pro shop which most times are located within bowling centers. Now, depending on how long and how much you've been bowling, to throw a curve depends on what type of fingergrips you use. I use a fingertip ball, which means that I only put my fingers into the ball up to the first joint. You could try a semi-fingertip, too, which works for some people. There are so many details and fine-tuning that needs to take place, and it's all a personal thing; like what's comfortable for you. Then follow the basics: your approach, your backswing, and finally your release and follow-through. Make sure though, that you don't force a curve with turning your hand around to spin the ball. This a bad habit to learn. All are equally important...and, of course, hitting your mark on the lanes. Once you get all these things into rhythm, then all you need to do is practice, practice and more practice.

Work to build up your back, that is the key to pace bowling. \nIts not arm strength its your back. Arm speed comes from your back.\n\nTo bowl fast you have to utilise your whole body, get into a good rhythm with your run up and delivery, work on release points and make sure you are intense. Do not waste your energy.\n\nBut if you can bowl good line and length, you do not need to be express to succeed. Brett Lee used to bowl 155, now he is closer to 145 on a regular basis, and he did it for control, and has never bowled better in his life. So just remember that.

Work on your spares. If you make all your spares and throw one double a game you can average 200. You don't need to throw a lot of strikes to have a high average.

Be at less than an angle, more like 75%. Don't forget to use the PADS of your fingers.\n\nGood luck and happy playing!

Possibly, looks like they're redone right before the games start--\nOU KNOW WHAT THE MOST difficult part about bowling can be? Success doesn't always have anything to do with you, the ball, or the pins. If we could bowl in a vacuum, life would be easy--but bowling is a matter of constantly adjusting to new conditions, equipment, and game situations. You might think that it's only the touring pros who are constantly dealing with new oil conditions from week to week. But think about your own center, whether you've been playing on it for one season or 20. Has it played the same way, week after week, season after season? If it has, you're bowling in the most unique center on the planet.

set the ball into a spin after you places it on your finger. then try to balance it for as long as you can. keep practicing till you can do it properly.
