Due to the fact that I currently go 10 pin bowling about once a year with work’s sports and social, I forget what conditions I need to set up for myself to play well. It usually takes 2 games of fiddling to remember my technique (such as it is), by which point it is too late. This is after all my blog and this is something I want to remember, so sorry if it’s not relevant for you. Well it might be if you are shaped like me. These are my conditions for bowling well: Shoes: Size 10.5 Ball: Weight 12 Stance: Slightly to the right of the central floor marking, angle body a tiny bit to the right. Bowl: Wiggle your bum, take 3 steps and throw. The wiggling your bum part turned out to be quite important. It turned it into a joke and made me more relaxed. When I knew victory was within my grasp I could feel the adrenaline start pumping and that’s when things started to go pear shaped. Evidence: Score before wiggling 95. Score with wiggling 165.
