Bowling tips

So seeing as i have had a few requests for tips on bowling im gonna give them to you guys.

1. the first thing you need to do is find a ball that fits you. your fingers should be able to go into the second knuckle on your ring and index finger. also you MUST!!!! use your thumb. finally to know if its the right weight you need to hold the ball in your palm of the hand you will throw with and as long as you dont have to lean to that side the ball is the right weight for you.

2. the next thing is the approach. you should use a four step approach to get you from the dots to the foul line. to find where you should start go up to the foul line and put your heels against the foul line then take about four and a half steps(normal sized steps like you would be walking) then stop and turn around and thats were you should start. your 1st step you should be pushing the ball straight forward and then just relax your arm. gravity will do the rest for you.

To be continued.........

here is a video i shot in my video production class that shows a approach and how it should look. enjoy!!!

Hi my name is WHAT?

My name is mark mandell i am a communications major with an emphasis in electronic media. i have been going to school for 6 years, because for the first 5 years i didnt know what i wanted to major in. i am part of the student alumni executive board as the programming/athletic relations VP.

i am on the bowling team here at WSU in my senior season and am loving every minute of it. bowling is my life, too me its more than a sport or hobby. i have been bowling for 11 years now and wish i would have started sooner than i did.

i got into bowling after living in Arizona for a year. i used to play little league baseball and loved having my mom there to watch me play. the heat was too much for her and so i looked into sports that were played inside. my dad bowled so i decided to give it a try and fell in love and rapidly started working and improving. after about two years i won my first junor tourney.
