3 Bowling Techniques to Make a Strike or Spare
It is a strike, when all of the pins are knocked down “on the first ball of a frame.â€
Every bowler would like to hit a strike and score big to win with this action, but it is not merely a stroke of luck. Bowlers who want to make it big by hitting strikes more often than not have to work at it.
Like in any sport, great action comes in small packages, where the attention is focused on the techniques learned and used by that player. It is important for every player to know how to hone his or her skills to win the game.
So for those who wish to make a strike or a spare in order to win a match, here are three bowling techniques that they can use:
1. Spinner
This technique refers to the way of delivering a shot with the intention that no more than a minor part of the ball touches contacts the lane. This technique promotes less friction between the ball and the lane, not considering the “oiling pattern†of that lane. As a result the ball glides practically in a straight line down the lane.
Experts contend, however, that this kind of shot is not very successful in that it does not attempt to take full advantage of the dragging the power of the bowler.
2. Stroker
With this kind of technique, the bowler relies more on precision than strength. This technique is characterized by employing the “by the book†style of playing that entails the proper execution of even movements, keeping square shoulders to the target all the way through the release of the ball, and maintaining an on-time move at the “foul line.â€
This is the “classic†technique of most bowlers because it employs smooth and controlled movements and lessens the possibility of injuries.
3. Cranker
This is the kind of technique that is being employed by a bowler who relies more on his strength to deliver a good shot rather than accuracy. It is like ‘hitting hard’ when a bowler uses this technique.
The skill involves more adrenaline that constitutes the bowler’s drive to win.
Usually, crankers use “late timingâ€, they do not slide, attempt to get to the “foul line†earlier than the ball, and they bend their elbows to keep their hands at the back and beneath the ball.
There are no perfect techniques, but there is a particular technique for every player. The important thing is to create a strike or even a spare.
