How To Manipulate The Axis Of Rotation Angle
The axis of rotation angle is determined by the location of the hand at the release point and is easily adjusted by changing the hand position. If you can learn to manipulate the axis of rotation angle, you can create a large difference in the amount of hook with any ball.
Making small and subtle changes in the hand position during the release can significantly alter the ball’s motion and pin action to achieve higher scores. Keep in mind that it is actually much easier to change the axis of rotation than change the amount of rotation on the bowling ball.
How To Play The Channel
Practicing playing the channel helps you to walk straight, swing straight and change your hand position. So how do we do that?
Start by using your least hooking ball or a polyester one. Don't worry about knocking pins down at first. You only have to learn to set the ball down at the right spot and have it stay on line to the breakpoint.
When you are playing the channel, your ball trajectory has to be parallel to the channel. You cannot swing the ball out.
How To Create More RRevs
Bowlers are always looking for more hook, and this is not always found in a manufacturer’s latest introduction. By hooking the ball more, you can create more area to the strike pocket and add pin action for more strikes.
Many bowlers look for more hook with equipment and not realize the importance of changes in the physical game. This module discusses the ‘how-to’s’ for adjusting the physical game in order to achieve more hook.
How To Find Your Strike Line
The faster you manage to read the lanes, the better your advantage. Your 'warming up' practice would be the time to find your strike line, but more importantly, it is also trying to find out how your bowling ball starts to read the lanes.
In this module, we explain how putting a piece of bowler’s tape on the center of your ball (between the finger holes and thumb hole) so that you can watch your ball roll…can help you. You will find that if you throw the ball really slow and watch the tape as it rotates around the ball, you will see immediately when your ball starts to grip the lane surface.
