#42 Bowling Tips

Try The Drop Away Method

The drop away method replaces the push away. I find it more consistent and easier to do. In the drop away method you hold the ball high up at shoulder height in the stance. Take a normal size 1st step but don't move the ball. Then at the start of the 2nd step let the ball drop straight down into the swing. If this feels awkward try sliding the foot out on the 1st step until you get used to it. The rest of the approach is the same as the push away.

Keep Your Arm Swing Loose

The key to a loose arm swing is keeping your thumb relaxed in the ball. In order to have a relaxed grip in the ball your ball has to be drilled and fitted correctly. If your thumb hole feels loose it will cause you to squeeze the ball and muscle your swing. Inserts in the thumb and finger holes can help give you a more secure fit. If you have a large webbing at the base of your thumb add extra bevel all around the top edge of the thumb hole for a better fit.

Balance Body For Solid Finish

On the last step bend your knee to get down lower to the lane and slide your foot straight towards the foul line making sure it doesn't turn. Think of it as sliding into a deep knee bend. Counter balance your body by moving your non-sliding leg sideways to the opposite side of your bowling arm.

Release Thumb By Sliding Foot

In order to have a strong release and follow through the thumb must come out of the ball by your sliding foot as the slide is completed. Don't try to reach out with your thumb still in the ball or you will go past the slide foot and lose leverage. The thumb must come out of the ball right by the slide foot to get maximum leverage in your release. After the thumb is released by your slide foot the fingers take over as you follow through the swing and the ball is propelled out onto the lane towards your intended target.

Follow Through The Arm Swing

The follow through is just a continuation of the arm swing outwards towards your target as the ball comes off your fingers. A well executed release will give you a good follow through. If the ball is released correctly your arm will unhinge at the elbow and your hand will come up to side of your head.

Getting Extra Hand Action

If you need extra hand action for tougher pin carry keep your pinky bent (curled up against the ball) and apply finger pressure against the ball when you set up in the stance and through out the entire swing and release. But make sure you keep your thumb relaxed in the ball at all times.

The 45 Degree Hand Position

This is the easiest and most natural hand position to use. In the 45 degree hand position the hand is partially under and partially to the side of the ball with the tips of both pinky-s touching. Non bowling hand supports ball.

Spare Shooting And Ten Pins

There's no reason to use a special ball for spares as long as you are lined up correctly and go straight as possible at the pin. For the 10 pin I recommend using a reverse hook but make sure you get the ball way out on the lane.

Develop Good Practice Routine

Analyze your delivery and think about what you are doing when you practice. Feel your good shots when you make them and imprint it into your mind so that you can repeat them. Use visualization to practice off the lanes and go through the delivery in your mind making perfect shots.

Staying Relaxed Under Pressure

Once you're set up and ready to go focus your eyes on your target and block out all external noise. Don't think about the mechanics of your physical game, just bowl reflexively and react to the target as you release the ball.

Shoe Sliding Problems (Sticking)

If you have trouble sliding buy a Dexter red slide sole and some velcro self sticking fastener. Cut the red slide sole and velcro self sticking fastener the same size as the rubber heel on the slide shoe. Paste the velcro fastener on the rubber heal and then fasten the red slide sole to the velcro fastener.

Develop Your Own Bowling Style

There is no right or wrong way to bowl and anything can work if you are able to repeat it often enough. Do what works for you and feels the most comfortable. Often times you have to do something, that may be considered unorthodox, to compensate for a flaw in your game. Many great bowlers had very unorthodox styles such as Don Carter with his bent arm swing.

Watch Professional Bowlers On TV

Watch the pros bowl on TV and record them with your VCR. Play back the tape and watch in it slow motion. Study how they do the basics to improve your own game, esp women pros who rely more on finesse than power.

#39 Sekitar Tour Liga 1 Malaysia 27 Mac 2010, Megalanes Prai

Berikut ialah rakaman beberapa balingan yang dilakukan oleh peserta yang menyertai liga 1M tadi. Kita mulakan dengan gaya spinner oleh Din Penunggu Megalanes... ngeh ngeh ngeh! Dia men bagus tadi! almost clean games! bravo2... dapat tempat ke-4 kalu x silap!

di bawah ialah pelbagai gaya balingan hook! the hookers rule!

Kalu x silap nama beliau ialah Shamsul Bahri

Berikut ialah video juara... nama saya x ingat... maaf no! Average game 200++.

Nie plak bowlaholic Dr. Tun Zainal... ok gak beliau men cuma katanya game awal-awal x berapa nak menjadi... good try doc! 

Nota kaki: Selamat melakukan senaman leher! jangan terkehel udah uols semua! ngeh ngeh ngeh...

#38 Shalin the Invisible

Nerve to nerve match between Shalin Zulkifli and Tore Torgessen. I wish bowling will be one of the olympic sports soon! Just wonder what type and how many medals Malaysia will grab!

Nota kaki: bila nak dapat score mcm tu?....

#29 Learning Hooking

Maklumat berikut saya perolehi dari internet. Sesuai untuk perkongsian dengan anda semua yang meminati dunia hooking!

Untuk maklumat lanjut sila klik di sini.

Nota kaki: Semoga panduan di atas akan menjadikan kita seorang pemain bowling yang berwibawa suatu hari nanti. Rajin-rajinlah berlatih.... Sayang andainya kita hanya berhenti di pertengahan jalanan dan kembali kepada gaya balingan yang sebelumnya... (maaf yer straiters, tiada niat menghina gaya anda!). Satu fakta yang menarik mengenai For Fun Bowling Tournament yang berlangsung pada 17 Mac yang lepas ialah... juaranya seorang cikgu yang hanya bermain strait bol (purata jatuhan hampir 190 pin bagi 4 permainan!). Bermainlah dengan penuh yakin kerana pada akhirnya jatuhan pin jua yang menentukan kalah menang seseorang dalam sesuatu pertandingan bowling! Kredit untuk pemain hook dan spinner kerana secara teorinya, jatuhan pin yang lebih tinggi akan diperolehi oleh anda sekalian sebaik sahaja anda berjaya menguasai teknik yang betul.... Ini juga merupakan satu fakta kerana kebanyakan pemain profesional menggunakan gaya balingan hook (paling ramai) diikuti oleh spinner! 

#28 Susunan Pin

Untuk berkecimpung secara serius dalam permainan bowling, kita perlu memahami aspek asas dalam susun atur pin bagi memudahkan kefahaman mengenai aspek teknikal dan taktikal balingan. Sistem susun atur yang dikongsi di sini merupakan susun atur standard yang digunakan di seantero dunia. Diharap coretan ini dapat membantu adik kakak abang lebih faham apabila saya menggunakan terma seperti poket 1-3, poket 1-2 atau brooklyn 1-2, pin 4-7-8 dan sebagainya! Sesungguhnya kedudukan pin amatlah penting dalam menentukan arrow/release point bola adik kakak abang sekalian tertakluk kepada kaedah balingan yang digunakan!

Nota kaki: menci arr pin 10.... bebi x sukerrr tau! camna ek? Play smart frens!

#27 Hook Ball - Stroker Technique Video

Salam pelawat semua... seperti yang dijanjikan sebelum ini, saya akan memuatnaik rakaman video berkenaan dengan teknik balingan yang saya pratikkan sewaktu bermain bowling. Saya akan menggunakan platform youtube untuk menyimpan semua video berkenaan dan seterusnya ditempek (harap-harap betul penggunaan perkataan ini) di blog ini menggunakan embedded code yang dijana di youtube.

Terdapat kelemahan ketara yang ditunjukkan oleh saya walaupun bola memasuki pocket 1-2, namun selepas melaksanakan balingan perhatikan gerak kaki saya yang tidak stabil. Saya terpaksa neting untuk imbangan badan. Kadang-kadang gerakan ini menganggu tempo lepasan bola saya yang menyebabkan curvature bola yang buruk... menghala ke pin 4-7-8. Saya menggunakan bola storm shift untuk balingan pertama. Sila komen.

Video berikut ialah balingan susulan untuk menyempurnakan conversion spare pin 7. Saya menggunakan bola ebonite tornado yang lebih ringan untuk spare throw. Gerakan balingan yang sama seperti 1st throw. Seolah-olah sudah menjadi trademark saya untuk neting. Saya berusaha untuk menghilangkan trademark buruk ini since saya hanya baru 2 bulan berkecimpung dalam balingan hook - stroker style. kalu lama-lama takut sebati nanti. Sila komen.

Nota kaki: neting (sebutannya ne-ting: sila gunakan sabdu untuk memberi penekanan sewaktu transisi sebutan di antara 'ne' dan 'ting') tu ialah loghat kelate yang bermaksud melompat anak atau melompat kecil.

Sori for the video misorientation... akan diperbaiki untuk posting-posting yang akan datang! Senaman leher la ckit yer...

#5 Teknik Asas Lontaran Hook

Salam pelawat semua... heni jom kita menelaah sebuah video yang menampilkan Chris Barnes (USA), seorang tokoh bowling yang tidak asing lagi pada masa kini. Video ini menerangkan teknik asas bagi melakukan lontaran hook secara 4 atau 5 langkah. Semoga ilmu yang diperolehi dapat dimanfaatkan dan diterjermahkan dalam permainan bowling kita secara realiti seterusnya dapat meningkatkan kemahiran dan menajamkan lontaran bola ke sasaran yang dikehendaki.

Selamat Maju Jaya!!!
