If you really love to play duckpin bowling, then you will eventually improve your game. Why? Because you will always play it and that's it! Its the secret! CONSTANT PRACTICE and exposure to many tournaments and competition. I guess, you've already been playing it for quite sometime now and I believe you already knew the basics. Just stick to it because there is no mind boggling secret to it other than, PLAY, PLAY, PLAY AND PLAY it.

???I need help. My game has NOT improved, and I've been playing for months. Are there any basic techniques that I should learn?

I'm not an expert, I've been playing in a league for 10 years and every week it's a challenge, but I find that if I try to "follow through" I get better results. Make sure you keep your eye on the head pin, and when you throw the ball, your arm and hand should extend and go up over your head. That's "follow through". It gives the ball a lot of power and the pins explode.
I also try to keep my palm and middle finger straight, not curved or leaning towards the gutter. Sometimes I wear a wrist guard to keep my wrist straight. Everyone's got a unique style so it's sort of hard to offer assistance on the web. Let me know how you do...
Good Luck!

Thanks for the tips! By the way, when you say keep my wrist, palm and middle finger straight, you mean after the release and during the follow through right? Thanks  |

Not after the release, during the release and after. The idea is to guide the ball straight down the lane and with as much power as possible. If your hands and fingers are tilted the ball will curve to the gutter.
When I bowl this way it's a very fast ball. Also, I start all the way at the beginning of the lane, (where you step up to it) not in the middle.

Holey Moley Robin! I read your tips to the original poster and decided to concentrate on my follow through. After months of sub-par frustrations, I bowled my highes game yet... a 121. My league thanks you for the tip(s) ;D. I utilize a slightly unorthadox approach as I find it easier to control the release position without to many steps. The extra steps seem to throw my body off course. I can't rightly explain my approach, maybe next week i will take some video with the ol' camera phone so everyone can get a good chuckle.
But the follow through is certainly the key to my new and improved bowling.
Thanks Darling!
Dave

Hey Dave, Glad to know my tip helps.  I figured it out all by myself! I just know when I follow through I get so much more power and speed and the pins explode and boy do I love seeing that! LOL I constantly have to "remind myself" to do it. I am hoping someday to do it without having to 'think about it'. Good Luck in your league! |
