time for yourself<\/a> and go to your nearest bowling alley, pay attention to the technique, and practice it as much as possible whenever you get the opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKeep your wrist straight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A mistake that many bowlers make when they are beginning to learn hooking technique is keeping their wrist bent. This can lead to your wrist getting injured and your bowling career getting shortened. So, make sure you keep your wrist in a straight line to your arm so that the hook can be generated effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consult pro bowlers in bowling alleys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A trick to learn the hooking skill even quicker than usual is consulting your pro-bowler friends to help you get the technique right and the position correct. On your own, it can take quite a long while to figure out what you want to do and where you need to place your feet and everything, so getting help would be good for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use lighter bowling balls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is a trick that not many beginner bowlers know about. Many bowlers go to the bowling alley and end up using house balls that are at times heavy and not perfectly adjusted to their fingers. Using a lighter bowling ball, you will be able to reduce the weight you have in your hand, and you will be able to maneuver the ball better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Move towards a heavier ball<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A heavier ball hooks a lot more than a lighter ball but does not get a heavier ball right away from the start. Get used to the lighter ball and then slowly get accustomed to a heavier ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perform drills with other varieties of balls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you do not want to try hooking a bowling ball directly, you can use different balls like a football or even a tennis ball to get used to the positioning and movement. This is crucial to slowly make your way to properly hooking with a larger-sized bowling ball. These are some of the tips and tricks you can use to hook a bowling ball effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
