How to Curve a Bowling Ball<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nBackup ball<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The backup shot is rarely used in bowling. This shot is unusual because it hooks or spins the ball in the opposite direction of a normal hook shot. So, if the player is right-handed, they would spin the ball from left to right instead of doing it the other way round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To some players, the shot comes naturally, while other players master it by practicing it. Many players and experts in the bowling community consider this technique bad since it twists your wrist in an unnatural position, which can potentially lead to injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To sum it up, the backup shot should only be used if you already know the technique and have the skill and training to execute it perfectly without sustaining any injury. For beginners, this shot isn’t recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bowling vs. Lawn bowling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Alley bowling is different from lawn bowling. The main idea of the game is the same in both versions, which is to send the ball rolling towards a target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in lawn bowling, the balls aren’t perfectly round like the ones in alley bowling. They are curved, and due to this, the balls roll in a curved path instead of a straight one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In alley bowling, the objective is to send the ball rolling and strike down as many pins as possible. Whereas in lawn bowling, players try to get the balls as close to the target ball, known as the “jack.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do we mention lawn bowling? That is because you should not be confused with the 4 basic shots in lawn bowling, namely the draw<\/em>, the yard on<\/em>, the running shot\/ditch length shot<\/em>, and the drive<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1544,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1540"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1546,"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540\/revisions\/1546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/howbowling.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
