The first step to curving a bowling ball is to choose the best ball for you. Not all bowling balls are created equal, and some will be better suited for beginners than others. It’s a good idea to select a ball that’s not too heavy or too light. A good rule of thumb is to choose a ball that weighs about 10% of your body weight.
When you’re ready to throw the ball, it’s important to focus on the arrows on the lane rather than the pins at the end. It’s easier to aim for the arrows than the pins because the arrows are closer to you. In addition, the arrows are meant to help you. If you’re consistently shooting too much to the left or right, the arrows will help you know where to position yourself so you’ll be able to aim and have the bowling ball go where you want it to.
Your release speed, timing, and position determine the curve of the bowling ball. For example, if you want to curve the ball to the left, you’ll need to release the ball slightly to the right of center. If you want to curve the ball to the right, you’ll need to release it slightly to the left of center. The further away from the center you release the ball, the more extreme the curve will be.
When it comes to releasing speed, if you release the ball too early, it will have a more gentle curve. If you release the ball too late, it will have a sharper curve.
You can also use different amounts of curve depending on how fast you’re bowling. If you’re bowling slowly, you’ll need to use more curve. If you’re bowling quickly, you’ll need to use less curve.
The best way to learn how to curve a bowling ball is to simply practice. The more you do it, the better you’ll become at it. Curving a bowling ball takes time and effort, but it’s definitely possible with some practice.
