As we are all looking to find new ways to relax and relieve stress, many are turning to the sport of bowling. It is great fun and with the handicaps that are used you can compete with anyone, no matter how great their bowling shirt is.

I have found bowling is a lot like golf in the fact that just because the guy or gal can dress the part, it does not mean that they can play a lick. Usually when someone walks up to the lane all decked out looking like they should be on a professional tour that is usually where the similarities stop. Anybody can buy a good looking bowling shirt and look like a million bucks. Here are some different ideas for you.

1. Polo Bowling Shirt

Many people choose a polo sport shirt to bowl in as they have many benefits. First, they come in many different fabrics such as cotton, cotton/poly blends and many new high tech materials. Second, they come in all colors and I mean all colors! If you can think of a color in the rainbow you will be able to match it. Third, they are not expensive. Depending on the quality of the polo, you can do this for cheap!

Because it is the first step in bowling, the stance is one of the most important phases of the bowling game. It’s the point of origin and should be standardized.

You should have a very definite way to place your feet every time you go up to bowl. The ball should always be held in the same place in respect to your body.

Above all, both of these factors should be maintained so that you are the most comfortable. If you’re comfortable, you’re not even going to notice the weight of the ball. You’re off on the “right foot” because you have already learned how to stand. Certainly, the first few times you try to bowl, even if your stance is comfortable, you’re going to be nervous; you’re trying something new. But if you are comfortable up there, that nervousness won’t stay with you very long.

Presuming you are a four-step bowler, go to the foul line, turn around so that your heels are about four or five inches away from the line and then take four normal steps away from the lane. Then take an extra half-step for good measure to allow for your slide.

Wherever you are at this point, turn around and face the lane. Look down at your feet. Where they are is your point of origin and it won’t vary no matter when or where you bowl. Your distance from the foul line should thus be determined, whether you are shooting for strikes or spares.

To begin bowling you must first pace off the number of steps from the foul line that you deem sufficient and take your stance. Rock back and forth a few times to make sure you’re comfortable. You should be holding the ball at a point where its weight is least noticeable. Now you are ready for the delivery and pushaway.

For all practical purposes, there are three main ways of making your delivery or approach to the foul line. Actually, we consider delivery and approach as the same thing.

The three main categories are bowlers who use three steps, those who use four and those who use five. There are also bowlers who take one or two steps, some who might even take six or seven. However, in most cases steps over five usually are a shuffle or very short steps.

In the taking of three steps, bowlers usually make them long ones with an unusually long slide.

On the other hand, the five-step bowlers take very short steps. They’re more of a picture bowler in their approach with almost complete accent on smoothness. Not that your five-step bowlers aren’t capable of high scores; some of our top performers take either five or four and one half steps. But even the five-step professionals are the first to admit that for all practical purposes, the four-step delivery carries the most advantages, especially to a beginner.
