Tenpins & More Presents: Bowling Do's and Don'ts

Whether you are new to bowling, or a seasoned professional, these are things everyone should be doing, or NOT doing!

  • DO - Push the ball out, then down as you take your first step
  • DO - Face your target squarely each time
  • DO - Follow through smoothly; this will give you greater accuracy
  • DO - Work on making each of your spares. It is possible to bowl as much as 190 with no strikes, but all spares
  • DON'T - Rush the foul line; a brisk walk will keep your armswing in a smooth arc
  • DON'T - Loft or bounce the ball onto the lane
  • DON'T - Try to throw a speed ball; speed control is vital for higher and more consistent scores
  • DON'T - Get discouraged with slow progress; bowling is a lifetime sport!
  • DO - Ask for lessons and practice as often as you can
