If you eliminate all, or nearly all, head movement by keeping your head as still or motionless as possible during your approach, your balance and shot making ability will improve.
Your head weighs as much, or nearly as much, as some bowling balls so any abrupt or sudden head movement can cause a lack of balance.
Begin by establishing an athletic posture before taking a step.
Lean forward about 10 degrees upper-body tilt, allow your backside to push outward slightly, and flex your knees.
Keep the bottom of your chin at shoulder height when walking to deliver your bowling ball.
Keeping your head at the same elevation from the floor when walking and when releasing your ball coupled with maintaining a good athletic posture will help your shotmaking.
Any sudden movement of your head will change your center of body balance.
Focus your eyes on your sighting target throughout your approach and delivery.
Retaining a fair amount of knee flex while you walk to the line will prevent unneeded bouncing and, in turn, reduce or eliminate head movement.
Visualize balancing a book on top of your head during your approach.
Good body balance in bowling leads to good shotmaking.
What is the one best bowling tip for better balance? Keep your head still.
In doing so, you will invite improved bowling scores.
