Intermediate Skill Development We believe that serious bowlers and bowlers who just want to have fun should have a solid understanding of the basic fundamentals of bowling. We have identified three levels of bowling ability: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Instruction at each level is divided into five categories: Alignment, body mechanics, strikes, spares and the mental game. It is important that you master the beginner lessons before attempting to move on to more difficult concepts. Do you drift to one side or the other when you walk to the foul line? Does it matter? Learn what drift is and how to measure it here. One of the first things a coach will look for when a bowler is having trouble is a proper armswing. Why is this so important and how does the armswing relate to the target line? So now you are throwing a ball that is curving but you are not hitting the pocket consistently. Are you using the oil on the lanes properly? Look here to see how you can use oil to help you hit the pocket even when you miss your mark. The spare system explained here is for bowlers who can throw a curve and understands how to use the oil to your advantage as explained in the strikes section above. The mental game becomes more important as bowling becomes more important to you and your teammates. Several strategies will be discussed that will help you bowl your best when you really need to.
