Improving Your Game using Spot Bowling PDF Print E-mail

Have you heard about spot bowling? This is a technique most often used by professional bowlers. Believe it or not spot bowling gives better results than pin bowling. Why is that? Well, first let us differentiate spot bowling from a pin bowling.

Pin bowling is when you look down the alley, roll the ball aiming at the pins down the alley. This is logical since, after all, the object of the game of bowling is to hit those pins so your focus should be on those pins. If you want to hit those pins, you wouldn’t be looking at anyone else. However, this is the hardest way to bowl. You’ll not have a greater chance of knocking down the pins.

So what’s the best way to do it? The answer is spot bowling. In spot bowling, you don’t look at the pins, but instead you focus your attention on a dot or arrow on the alley. You continue looking at that spot as you release the ball, never glancing at the pins. When you’ve rolled the ball, that’s the time when you look at the pins and see what you’ve hit. This may sound confusing to some. Why would you look at something else when it’s the pins you’re trying to knock down?

The answer lies in the distance and accuracy. Take as an example the game of darts. You can hit the bulls-eye if the dartboard is 7 inches away from you. The same as firing a gun. The closer your target, the more accurate your shot would be. This logic is what’s behind spot bowling. It’s easier to hit a spot a few feet away from you than it is to hit the pins 20 feet down the alley.

In spot bowling, if you're aiming at the second arrow from the right on your first shot and the ball lands to the left of the head pin, then obviously you need to move your spot to the right in order to hit the one-three pocket. It's much easier to hit the spot that you're aiming for, in order to hit that one-three pocket, than it is to try to hit pins 20 feet away. If you keep hitting that same spot, the ball is going to hit the same place down the alley as long as the conditions don't change and you keep the ball speed the same.

Spot bowling is what professional bowlers apply. It might sound difficult to a beginner, but spot bowling is much easier than pin bowling, and gives you more chances of knocking down the pins.
 
Basic Facts you Should Know about Bowling Pins PDF Print E-mail

By now, I presumed that everybody is aware what bowling is. If not, let me go through with the basics of this game. Bowling is a game in which players attempt to score points by rolling a ball along a flat surface called a lane to knock down objects called bowling pins. The least the throw it takes to knock the balls down, the bigger the score. The player with the highest total score wins. 

The game may sound as simple as that, but it takes some strategies and techniques in order to knock down as many bowling pins as you can. However, on this page we will talk about the bowling pins. You can check other articles on this site for the strategies and techniques if you want to learn more. 

As mentioned earlier, bowling pins are the targets in a bowling game. You may wonder where the bowling pin’s shape originated. That is an unlikely question, since most of us saw the pin as it was today. If you take a closer look of a bowling pin, you’ll notice that it resembles the Kegel, an ancient war club during the dark ages of Germany. Kegel is also the name of the sport that was the forerunners of present day bowling. 

Most bowling pins are made of Rock Maple wood, constructed by gluing blocks together to form roughly the shape of a bowling pin. After the wooden blocks are bound together by glue and shaped by the lathe, the product is then coated with plastic material and finally treated with chemicals to produce the glossy finish. There had been attempts in the past to make plastic versions of bowling pins, but never succeeded. 

As we all know, there are various ways to play bowling, but only those indoor types of bowling employ the use of pins and lanes. To enumerate, these are the ten-pin, nine-pin, five-pin, duckpin and candlepin bowling. All the pins used are roughly of the same shape, a flower vase-like shape with a rounded head, except for candlepin bowling which has, as the name implies candle shaped pins. 

The American Bowling Congress (ABC) is the one responsible for controlling bowling pins specification. There are strict requirements placed upon every bowling pin to ensure a standard bowling pin in all bowling games.

Bowling Etiquette That Must Be Followed for an Enjoyable Game PDF Print E-mail

Observing proper etiquette is essential to having a harmonious relationship with another person or society. It involves respect and courtesy to the third party.

Below is a list of some bowling etiquette. You’ll notice that they are mostly based on common sense.

DO’s

1) Yield the ‘right of way’ rule. When two bowlers are on adjacent lanes, and simultaneously ready to bowl, the bowler on the right delivers first. The other bowler ought to remain off, or to the rear of the approach area. This rule doesn't apply if the bowler on the left is shooting for a spare.

2) When it is you turn, bowl immediately. Once you have your ball, assume your stance and start your delivery. You don’t have to wait for lanes on either side of you to be cleared before you bowl. Just observe the ‘right of way’ rule

3) Be ready when it's your turn to bowl. Don’t wander off while your teammates are bowling.

4) Wait until you have completed the frame before checking your score. Don't come back to the scorekeeper after the first ball has been rolled.

5) Return your bowling shoes to the counter control desk after bowling, and if you've borrowed a 'house ball', return it to the storage rack.

DON’Ts

1) Don't linger at the foul line after releasing the ball. As soon as your ball hits the pins return to your seat.

2) Don't take a practice swing with your bowling ball on the concourse or behind the approach. Wait until you are upon the approach itself before doing any practice exercises.

3) Don't use an excessive amount of body gyrations at the foul line after delivering the ball. Confine your body 'English' to your own lane.

4) Don't bring food or drink into the settee or bowler’s area, a drop of liquid or any type of foreign substance spilled on the approach could cause a slip and serious injury.

5) Don't bench jockey while others are bowling. Friendly bantering is an accepted part of the sport, but don't overdo it. Be a good competitor.

By following these simple etiquette rules, you can expect a great time bowling, without encountering problems on the bowling alley. This bowling etiquette is designed to ensure a fun game for everybody. After all, games are there to promote sportsmanship.
