Bowling: Still Cool After All These Years
Bowling is a game we associate with our childhood and teenage
years. Even our parents remember bowling when they were young.
Many people continue to bowl throughout their lives. Bowling is
the young and the old.
In fact, bowling has been around in one form or another for
thousands of years, because it is one of the most exhilarating
ways to pass an afternoon or weekend. The moment when your turn
comes is exciting: you cool and dry your palms for the perfect
grip; you choose your ball, not too heavy, not too light; you
pause, take a deep breath, and then you take one step, then two,
and then you are off, you release the ball and the momentum
carries it down towards the pins, until it strikes!
Tips for improving your game
Concentration
This is the most vital aspect of a good bowling game, but also
the most difficult. Bowling takes place at a bowling alley where
there is always lots of activity. But you have to
learn to tune
out and tune into your game.
Posture
Your body position is also important to get right. Stand tall,
but not stiff. Your legs should be slightly bent, your head
high, but loose.
The Best Ball
It's you and your ball out there, so make sure you choose your
ball well. It shouldn't be too heavy and it shouldn't be too
light. It needs just the right amount of weight that you can
comfortably control.
Have Fun!
The final and most important part of improving your bowling game
is to have fun. A good bowler is a bowler that knows how to have
fun. Taking it all too seriously will definitely spoil your
game, and your ball will most certainly end up in the gutter.
