| I know the way you move your wrists matters and those arrows on the lanes and the wood floor help. If your right handed and bowl like me, I start on the second arowow to the right and aim the ball there | |

| Well, I don't have any tips that can really help since I have only "bowled" for fun, but the best advice would be to keep on practicing. If you really love the sport, then you wouldn't have had any thoughts about quitting. I know quitting something very dear to me would be extremely hard to do.
So yeah, just keep practicing! Good luck and remember, have fun! | |

| If you're just starting out, a good thing to do check on would be to make sure that you're keeping your wrist straight. I find that beginners tend to twist their wrists a lot. As well as this, practice rolling the ball in a particular direction.

I bowled somewhere in the 20's-30's when I first started, it takes time and practice | |

| Well I'm pretty damn **** myself, but I know that you have to focus on the center of the skittles.
Oh and use a ball that you feel comfortable with.

| See, I discovered that sometimes, you need to just have some fun and don't be competitive all the time, so when you are competitive you are actually doing better.
If you can get 100 by just having fun, then you should easily get more than that when you try. | |

| I was naturally good at bowling and for some reason, WiiSports helps, the only advice I can give you is practice, practice, practice. | |

| The #1 tip I can give you from my own experience is too always, always, keep your eye on the pins (aka where you want the bowling ball to go) when you throw/roll the ball. If you keep your target locked on by your eyes your wrist and fingers should go where they need to pretty much all the time.]
Good luck =) | |

| Hmm.. I'm pretty good at bowling I guess. I don't play it a lot only in the summer in July so yeah.
Some tips I have is practice a lot if you wanna get better, try to aim the ball down the middle as much as possible, idk what twitching is but stop it, and that's about it.
Also, play with bumpers at first. :p | |
