The Bowling Ball
The bowling ball is the one that is thrown at the lane to knock down the pins. It is better to have you own bowling ball at least you are familiar with your ball and how much effort you should put as you throw the ball. The heavier the ball, the better!

The Aim
Before striding the ball as you look at the pins, get your aim. There are arrows painted on the lane. Look at the closest arrows and choose one.
Joints
As you throw the ball, bend your knees comfortably as far as you can. The lower you are to the floor, it gives you more control over the ball. On the other hand, keep your wrist straight as you stride the ball and avoid turning it.
