How To Throw A Hook Bowling Ball
“The Sharp Hook Bowling ball ”. A bowling ball breaking in very sharply to the headpin and carrying away the 5-pin causes such leaves as the 4-7-9, 4-9, and 4-7-9-10.
Play from the right side of the approach, and angle the ball across the lane to clip the 4-pin thinly on the left side.
The bowling ball will take out the 7-pin, and the 4-pin will slide to the right and carry away the 9-pin or 10-pin or both.
This is easier said than done, but practice on this shot brings steadily increasing success. Take plenty of time and care in placing the ball on the lane.
A bowler may be lucky on this shot by striking the 4-pin on the right side in such a manner that it rebounds from the kickback to carry off both the 7-pin and the 9-pin. It goes without saying that
this shot should never intentionally be played that way. Click here to return to bowling tips 101 how to hook bowling balls Click here to return to bowling tips 101 home page
