Throwing the Ball
There are five simple steps to throw the perfect aim:
First: Straighten your hand and wrist.
Second: Hold your bowling arm out at a distance while
you’re bowling.
• Third: Keeping your arm straight, swing it towards your
ankle.
• Fourth: Rotate the wrist, hand, and arm away from your
body as you bring the ball near your ankle.
• Fifth: Release the ball from your hand without exerting any
extra force on the ball.
