Fundamentals of Bowling
First of all, if you need to know how to bowl, you shouldn't ask me.
This is a short one. Bear in mind, this is only what applies to me, not every other normal human being.
1. When bowling, if you aim straight, the ball will always curl.
2. If you aim to curl, the ball will curl too much.
3. If using a ball that is too light (say an 8), the ball is likely to curl into the longkang.
4. If using a heavier ball, you will not have enough strength to curl it right into the longkang.
5. Technique -schmechnique, if it rolls in the general direction of the middle pin, you're set.
6. Start by bowling a really lousy first game - it can only get better from there.
7. It IS possible to triple your score in 2 games (refer to number 6)
8. Screaming does not direct your ball in the right direction, but it sure as hell feels better than keeping quiet,
9. If you are bowling with people who are used to 130 averages, it helps to accept that you are out of their league from the start.
10. If you are unfit, you will ache everywhere the next day. Even on your left arm...
11. The computer system for the Midvalley bowling alley is 11 years old.
This is your aim. It's rather elusive.
