Bowling tips for “Learn to bowl” bowlers
Tip 1
-
There are 4 aiming methods in 5 pin bowling. The one that produces the best results is spot bowling. This uses a fixed target 15 feet from the foul line. To properly understand spot bowling you need to better understand the rifle technique. When you have found your starting position on the approach this is the rear sight. The dot at the foul line where the ball is released is the front sight and the arrow which the ball rolls over is the target.
-
It is suggested that the target remains the same and that only the right sight and front sight is adjusted.
Bowling Tips: “FUNdamental Stage”: for children

Bowling Tips for First Time Bowlers
Tip 1
- When picking up the ball use one hand. The fingers and thumb must be placed on the ball safely, with the fingers spread and pointed towards the far side of the ball and the thumb pointed towards you. Again make sure you are facing the returning balls.
Targeting for Advanced Bowlers
Bowlers who are throwing the ball with a hook need to worry about more than just the front part of the lane. Targeting for these bowlers used to be called ‘area’ bowling, but now it could be called ‘window’ bowling. Every lane condition has a ‘window’ that you want to get to down-lane in order to hit the pocket consistently. Depending on the condition, this window is usually a few boards wide, and a couple feet long on the lane, anywhere between 35’ and 45’ down the lane. You can still look at arrows, but the goal is to base your targeting on getting the ball to pass over the arrow and through the window. Finding that window is the goal of every bowler that wants to strike.
