Pre-Game Mindset( Get Yo Mind Right)

Get ya mind right son!!!

Lolz but if you have read my articale on tips and tricks, you will remember me stating that one of the first things you need to have in order to be an effective bowler is a "great bowling mentality". I want to further address this mentality in this articale, because it is of the up most importance for you to understand this!

Bowling mentality is a real thing: just like any other sport the right mentality can make or break your game. Imagine this your at your favorite bowling alley one friday night, you and your friends have just gotten into a heated game of bowling and your looking for an edge. Your at the tenth frame of bowling and you guys are all tied up.
Your first friends steps up to the line, his form his impecable, and his release is great but when he gets to the line the ball slips out of his grasp. Ouch!!! looks like a gutter ball for him.
Your next friend steps up, has good form but seems worried about something, leads in for the shot and OH NO!!! He knocks down 8 pins but is left with the dreaded 7 10 split.
Now its your turn, your in the zone
Mind clear of all obstacles
You love to bowl
You step up to the lane, great form and great release, and there you have it success, you hit a strike and win the game. THE CROWD GOES WILD, WOMEN( OR MEN) SCREAMING FOR YOU AND WANTING YOUR AUTOGRAPH. Lolz not really but hey you can dream

Now let me ask you what did you do differently then your two friends???????

You believed in yourself, You felt great and you played great. Those are the three things you need to be a pro at not only bowling, but anything in life.
1.Belief
2.Feel( you must "feel" like you will succeed)
3. You must act you must go through with the action

and their you have it the three keys to success, yet they all stem from your beliefs.

GET YA MIND RIGHT SON!!! Hopefully this helps I will go over the other two (feel and action) later on but for now belief.

Til' then yall stay up -P. String aka Prince Stringer-

Bowler Tips,Tricks and all of type of Ish lolz


TIPS FOR NOOBS LOLZ
Bowling is one of America's favorite past times, and why shouldn't it be. It is one of many sports that allows any person of any age to not only enjoy the game but to also excel in it. Obviously, the best way to maximize your potential in this game is to have as much information,( as well as bowling tips lol) available for your use, so that you can become a better bowler too! Hey you might even become a professional or just an local legend in your neighborhood!

If you are a beginner you are probably looking for bowling tips that will help you knock down strike after strike. I am sorry to tell you this but like everything in life you must begin with basics. Before the shoes come on, and the bowling ball is placed into your hands, and even before you step into the alley you must devolp a "great bowling mentality". Now the first question you might ask is what is a "great bowling mentality"? Well the simple answer is: A great bowling mentality is a confident as well as realistic outlook of your bowling game. Most pro's perform some type of ritual before they even begin to warm up. I personally find it easy to get into the zone by keeping my mind focused on the "feeling of bowling" and not bowling itself. By the feel of bowling I mean enjoying it, learn to enjoy the sensation of just being their, being in the room, being around other bowlers! Once you have a "great bowling mentality", you can now move unto the physical poriton of bowling.

One of the greatest "bowling tips" out there is finding the right size ball with the correct finger fitting holes. Most men tend to occur shoulder injuries by trying to be too macho and picking a sixteen pound ball. Safety is very important when bowling! A key to finding the right ball is too test out several types of house balls ( don't ever feel ashamed to try out many different ones). The best ball to bowl with is a ball that you have the moderate control over (not too light because this will effect the impact upon the pins, not too heavy this can cause injury as well as reduces the speed of the ball). Once you have found a great bowling ball it is time to start bowling!

Another great "bowling tip" is correct stance or having a proper "address". Your address is your starting position this (along with a great bowling mentality) can make or break a bowler. You should have a defined way to bowl ( don't worry about doing it correctly the first few times, just find a position that is most comfortable for you), now onto the "four step". Before you bowl you should go to the foul line ( the line where the lane becomes slicker and you will foul out if you cross it) turn around and take four normal steps away from it. Then take a half a step to allow for a slight slide. If you are a right handed bowler your left foot should lead, it should make it more comfortable for the approach. Your first step should place the ball right in front of your face almost like your kissing it lol. The next step ( while moving foward) is to drop the ball down to your waist and bring it back as far as you can almost like a sling shot. The third step is to let your arm swing downard ( you should be pretty close to the foul line by now). Finally release the ball and allow your hand to swing up to your brow almost like your are saluating. Their will be a slight slide, and the more you bowl the more comfortable you will become with it.

Remember this is a new skill so it takes time and effort to develop. Don't Give Up! Remember its a game, and as such it is meant to be enjoyed and not to be a worrisome task. Just remember these three things: A great bowling mentality, the right ball and continue to practice your correct form and you will be bowling like the pros in no time!
