ways to help your bowling form at home
Does anyone know of any ways to help your bowling form at home. Will not beable to go bowling this week if we lose power in our area due to the hurricane.

Explain how that is working on my form. I have been told to take a broom and grab each end with it behind my back and do squats on my left leg to help my posture and balance. Stretching will be best before workouts and bowling.

Work on the finish position with arm swing. Can be done with or without a ball.
Swinging a ball back and forth. Helps maintain a free arm swing.
The release drill. Slide leg goes with your foot on the floor, knee bent. Balance leg goes with your knee on the floor behind the slide leg. Now release your ball into a couch cushion or pillow.

Thanks billf.
Many times, my wife looks over at me while sitting out side having a cigarette, and I'll be swinging my arm and rotating my wrist and fingers. At first she'd ask, "What the hell are you doing?" Now after 10 years of marriage she just looks one and smiles and shakes her head. Bowling is repetition, repetition, repetition. Doesn't matter where you do it, just do it. If you go out for a walk, swing your arm as though you have a ball and flip your fingers and wrist as though you're delivering it. Do that and the next time you bowl, it should come easier to keep your elbow in, and release the ball more automatically. Try it, it basic and it helps.

Thanks Tampabaybob will start doing that.
Not sure if you would need this drill or not but something you can do at home to practice your arm swing is to perform your approach in front of a mirror. I used to bring my arm around and behind my back and by doing this, it allowed me to see my mistake and correct it. You can also discover other technical flaws such as footing, balance, and just overall form. If you don't have an open space with a large enough mirror you can always use a camera and videotape yourself. I have done this many times with or without a ball and it has allowed me to see some mistakes in my game.

Absolutely, great point...videoing yourself at the bowling center is the best way to see "exactly" where your faults are and what you need to fix. I've videotaped many bowlers, adults and junior bowlers and the first reaction is, "THAT"S ME ?" Much eaier to pick out the problems and it'll save hundreds of hours of time trying to fix something on your own.
