Arm Swing |

One common cause of a poor shot is a poor arm swing. You should have a straight swing that stays in line with the target on the lane throughout your delivery.
In the starting stance, position the ball to your side—not in front of your body. Part of the ball should be visible to someone standing behind your shoulder.
On the forward swing, your forearm should point to your target like an arrow. As the ball is pushed out, the ball should be in a groove or track that is in line with your body and target. Pushing the ball away from or pulling it in toward your body can cause the ball to swing in the opposite direction and off the target. |

How to throw a Curve |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The easiest way to learn to roll a hook is to set your hand in a handshake position. Right-handers should turn their bowling hand slightly so that the thumb points toward the 11 o'clock position on a clock face. A left-hander should turn his or her bowling hand so that the thumb points toward the 1 o'clock position.
The hand should remain in this position through the entire approach and release. In the finish position, it will look like you are shaking hands with your target.
Because the thumb will release first, the fingers will put a bit of side rotation on the ball and make it curve.
