It doesn't matter if you are a professional or an amateur or every shade in between. You want to hurl that ball down the lane and watch as it smashes into the pins, sending them in all directions like an explosion. If you want to learn how to bowl a strike, you have to focus mainly on your technique, and PRACTICE.
The techniques required to bowl a strike are very simple to learn, yet complicated to master. As easy as it may look from a spectators perspective, there is a lot more discipline to it than you may know. Think of it as an orchestra, all the different parts playing in harmony. If one part is out of tune, it throws the whole thing off.
Same with bowling. Everything from your starting stance to your follow through must be in proper form to bowl a strike.
Once these steps are properly learned and well practiced, anyone can bowl a strike rather easily.
Starting Stance
Your starting stance is where you line up before you take your shot. You should start with your lead foot aimed at the front pin as you line up. Getting in the habit of lining up in the same spot every time will help with your consistency.
Swing
During your swing you will take alternating steps while bringing your ball back and then forward just as you approach the foul line. You will want to keep your arm straight to improve accuracy.
Release
You want to release your ball at just the right time and with proper aim to ensure it travels straight down the lane and strikes all the pins. Too late or too early and your ball is going to miss the target.
While these tips will help teach you how to bowl a strike, they barely scratch the surface. To become the best bowler you can be, it will take a lot more tweaking techniques, practice, and determination.
