why always a bowling ball? try a bowling cube and get a real edge on your opponents!

try to get a strike, or dont, what am i your boss

smoobles

you might think aiming your bowling ball toward the pins is the surest path to victory, but it's not; direct your ball toward your opponents face and you'll win every time.

in the military, after they give you a buzzcut, they make you wear a military grade bowl at all times so your hair won't grow back. times are lean, and they have become popular in head butting contests, like rams, or pneumatic presses

im hip now bois

Start by showing off how unafraid of trying new things you are to your cool new friends and start lining up trick shots and go for it man

Like throw the ball across 3 lanes diagonally to snooker another bowling ball into getting a strike

Or spin the ball on your finger like basketball

if you get the ball in just at the edge of the gutter without actually going in the gutter, you'll get a MULTIBALL event and it makes bowling easier

Fire up the grill everyone eats tonight!
wipe your hands on your jeans before your pick up your ball so it doesn't slip out of your hands backward.

make sure to let go of the ball. theres a very high possibility of you flying through the wall of the bowling alley if you try and roll it and forget to let go

Hello Meow
dont enrage the pins or else they'll throw the ball back at you and you'll be evicted from the bowling alley for upsetting the pins

Qwerinty

by zen death robot
if you throw the ball with enough force to shatter the pins, you get to own the bowling alley. that's why they're steel and glued together these days

Make sure you Lube up your fingers before you stick them in the holes. If you let go at the wrong time with unlubed fingers you fingers will go flying off in a spray of blood, this is known as a "Flying Tina Fey" and is considered to be a mistake for amateurs but a cunning tactic for Pro's.

throw ball at your opponents and say sorry for your bad aim. eventually knocking out all for competition you'll win.

Hello Meow
if you're strong enough to throw the bowling ball like a baseball it still counts as a bowl

Hello Meow
Serious bowling tip: Don't bowl sober, and don't bowl with a group smaller than 4 people.

focus on your approach, how you transfer momentum into a good roll is gonna make the biggest difference. do a couple of practice strides until you get the one that feels right. make a big deal about it if anyone talks while youre practicing

how was bowling

Watson Your Back, Holmes

Smythe is bad, Alan Smithee is p bad, KirbyKahn not bad but not good and I'm winning obvs from all the advice

yoober

here's some good advice do not wear a bowling shirt ever
if it looks like it may have been used as costume in two and a half men: don't wear it

You will see most people throwing the ball in an amateur under-handed fashion. Do not comply and follow suit, instead bowl over-handed. This will give you a decisive edge over your opponents, allowing you to bowl harder, bowl better, and bowl longer than everyone around you. Sexy people will follow you around like you are a rock star and you will receive lucrative endorsement contracts from the biggest names in the bowling industry! Good luck, and try not to Munson it all up

Two in the pink, one in the stink. (Poop is lube like pine tar on baseballs)

Okay, serious post. I don't have the curving throws down, which I heard you only use two fingers for, and do weird twisty poo poo, but all I try for is to go straight, and I just lift my arm like I am going for a handshake and let loose and it pretty much goes where I aim.

as the child of a bowling alley owner the thought of people disobeying the rules of bowling in destructive & unsafe ways always makes me cringe

I always sign up for an extra person and use that turn to do stupid stuff like going left handed or doing a spin before I throw it. I also gently caress around with darts, 3 at a time, like a baseball from far away. Just have fun dude. :)

trick shot: roll a ball down the lane as fast as you can, then throw a dart in each of the holes without missing before it gets to the pins. it's the only possible way to get a perfect score
