How to keep bowling shots consistent ?
923350
Based on your info, your reactive coverstock bowling ball will work on every lane condition around.  If it's too oily, use fine sandpaper to roughen up the surface and if it's too dull, polish it up.  Now to the fun part.....\n\nJust imagine that the target board or arrow is a bit bigger than it looks when you are on the approach.  Train your armswing to and hand release to focus on that same muscle motion every time and match it up to your target for shots that will hit the pocket most of the time.  Keep practicing and visualizing in that manner, and you will build muscle memory and hand/eye coordination that will help you make better shots as you bowl.  Also, experimentation with hand position during approach and release for more or less ball reaction helps too, especially when lane conditions change!  \n\nHope this helps!

focus on the toss. keep it as low as possible to leave you little room for error. don't pull your swinging arm back too far also... again, leaves less room for error. hit the ball with the heel of your hand. think 'quick and accurate' while your serving. it'll help.

First off, I highly reccomomend lessons, you start teaching yourself, youor going to pick up bad habits...\n\nIn the meanwhile, to give you a general idea...  Keep your thumb at about 10-11 oclock (for righties), I usually stand with my right foot on middle dot (the 2nd set closer to lanes), and aim at the 3rd dot(first set on lanes)...  I don't use the arrows anymore, I used to stand at the right and use 2nd arrow.... Its all about preference and finding what works for you.. The dots I found out are closer to you, therefore giving you an easier target and less room for error...  And by standing in the midddle more I learned to maximize the hook...\n\nAgain take lessons and experiment what works for you.... Have fun...

How you practice is the Key.  Make sure you can keep you mind on what your doing.  Line up at the targets don't just hit balls.\n\nA good practice session can be an hour\n20 minutes range\n20 minutes putting\n20 minutes chipping

I predetermine a spot where I want the ball to stop, and bare that in mind. At address, you should looking at the ball not the hole, or the imaginary spot where you target your ball to stop. Try hitting on the practice putting carpet until you know the right strength to give your putt. Golf is a target game, like dart.

First of all what you need is:\n\nYou always need to be positive. Always talk to yourself, while batting, that you can pull the game even from 0/9.\n\nBatting in last over or looking for some quick runs:\n\nIf you are looking to score some quick runs to shift the score, then always opt for straight. Back over the bowlers head. That´s where no fielder will be placed. If you are batting in Power-Plays then try to hit it bit over the top to make sure that you would get atleast four (4) runs out of it. Don´t take too many risks. Because if you can get 12 runs in one over, then just think that it´s better to pick 6 from every over.\n\nAdvices:\n\nIf you want your team to win, then always attack your opposition´s best bowler. Don´t defend against. Never think that you shouldn´t give him your wicket to boost his moral. Because, bowlers such as McGrath, will either get on top of you or either would get thrashed by the oppostion. So, by defending against him, you would just boost him, though bit slowly than giving your wicket, but it certainly dents your chances. Be a good batsman on every side of the wicket. Though, every batsman has his favourite shots. But you can even give a weakness to the opposition by doing this. One thing that you really need is sense. You should be such batsman that if they can block your shots, then try to milk the bowling by picking up singles. Be a good runner. Never miss a opportunity to take a run. Never look towards the bowler after getting out to him. Never hear what the bowler says. They might say "Come on, hit one for six (6)", but you should never listen to them. Because you would be kicking yourself by giving your wicket away because of the verbal skills of the bowler. Because you would feel "He didn´t anything. It´s me who gave my wicket away after getting carried away".\n\nI hope for the best for you!\n\nRawal.

The best way to get better at a sport is practice!  Find your weeknesses and work on them till they get better. So lets say you aren't that great at dribbling...What you have to do is set up a set of cones in a row and/or curving around (to represent players) and dribble around the outsides of the cones while keeping control of the ball.  If you have shooting problems, just keep shooting for a few hours and you'll get it.  I suggest for a shooting problem to start off trying to make 5 shots in a row without missing.  If you miss you should start back at 0 and work up to 5 again.  Do this with lay-ups and once you master those, move on to free throws.  then back 2 steps, then back another 2 steps.  Keep doing that untill you reach 2 steps past the (invisible three point line) if you are on your driveway or just past the regular three point line.

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.

think that the ball is part of ur foot  and throw your leg where you want ur foot to go. Also build up your muscle in ur legs so when you hit the ball true it will go straight. And get a decent ball and boots

don't knock the 8-ball in until last, unless you're playing straight pool........ keep your eye-level as low as possible, use a smooth stroke.

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.

To answer both questions - 'visualisation'\n\nBefore you bowl, before you shoot, you need to imagine or visualise the ball landing exactly where you want it to land, for example on the pitch or in the net.\n\nDo this before you run in to bowl - it works.\n\nIf you feel doubt, stop your run up, take a deep breath 'visualise' again and go for it!\n\nIf you are a fast bowler (right hand) - left arm and knee should be high in your delivery stride, and follow through with your right arm after you bowl - this will increase your speed.\n\nVisualise, if you believe you are in total control of the ball, you will have far more success!\n\nGood luck!

The best thing that i have seen to do and done to improve FG % is to have a goal at home, even a portable one for 150 from wal-mart works, work on just shooting, if you don't make the shot run to the ball and shoot as fast as u can,dont think about it let it begin to come naturally without thinking just shooting

I would recommend you use a plastic bowling ball.  Plastic bowling balls are designed to roll straight down the lane instead of curving in at the last second.  It is a really easy ball to throw and can be ordered at any weight & color.  A few websites to try are:  \n1. www.bowlersparadise.com- they have balls, shoes, bags, help, and experts always online.\n2. www.bowling.com- has a nice size selection\n3. try going to your local bowling alley, they usually have a pro shop where you can buy the same things but also talk directly to the owner. \nhope this helps!

Throw that ball as hard and as fast and as straight as you can to the right of the ten pin if you a right handed bowler. If you're a lefty, aim for the seven pin. I don't believe there is any skill involved in carrying a 7/10 split though. It's all luck honey!!!
