TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE YOU A BETTER BOWLER


MANAGE SURFACE: While the house shot typically can be bowling’s highest-scoring lane condition, it also presents a particular challenge Warren refers to here as “over- under.” Managing the surface of your bowling ball through ball-surface alteration is one sure way to overcome this challenge.


MEET THE ABRALON PAD: Warren explains that several manufacturers provide abrasive pads bowlers can apply to the surface of their bowling balls to make them read the lane pattern differently and yield different results, perhaps the most common of which is the Abralon Pad.


DON’T SETTLE: Just because a new bowling ball comes out of the box with a particular surface does not mean you need to use it with that particular surface. Here, Warren discusses how and why to experiment with different surfaces, even on the same bowling ball.


BE PROACTIVE: If you are thinking at this point that your bowling ball’s out-of-the-box finish is serving you just fine, keep in mind that it may not continue serving you for as long as you would like. Just a few games of league are enough to change your ball’s surface.


DARE TO EXPERIMENT: Warren shares a practical tip here while confronting a common misconception about the benefits of ball-surface alteration. If you presume that altering your ball’s surface always yields more hook, Warren explains why you may want to think again.


IN CONCLUSION: Warren explains how altering ball surface can alter the point at which your ball slows down as it travels the lane, and reiterates a few keys to take away from these tips, how to practice those keys on your own, and what benefits you can expect in return.
