At Bob’s Famous, it’s not about getting a perfect score — it’s about enjoying the game, doing a little victory dance, and sharing good vibes with your friends and family. Bowling isn’t just a sport, it’s an experience. Whether you’re stepping onto the lane for the first time or just looking to up your game, these tips will help you bowl better and have way more fun doing it.
Here’s everything you need to know to get rolling with confidence.
1. Start with the Right Ball
Selecting the right ball can significantly affect your performance and comfort.
Recommended weight:
- Women: 4.5–6.5 kg
- Men: 6.5–7.5 kg
(However, personal comfort is more important than weight recommendations.)
- The finger holes should feel secure but not tight. A comfortable grip ensures smoother throws and better control.
- Don’t hesitate to try a few options until you find the ball that fits best. At Bobz Famous, we provide a wide range to suit every player.
2. Focus on Your Stance and Grip
Proper posture and grip help improve accuracy and prevent strain.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart for better balance.
- Hold the ball with your dominant hand and keep your arm relaxed.
- Avoid gripping the ball too tightly — a fluid motion often results in better throws.
- When releasing, focus on a smooth follow-through rather than force. Precision is more valuable than power.
3. Aim with the Arrows
The arrows on the bowling lane? They’re your secret weapon.
- Aim for the center arrow or adjust slightly based on your throwing style.
- You do not need to aim directly at the pins — the arrows help you line up the ideal path.
- If you consistently miss on one side, adjust your starting position, not your aim. Small changes can lead to significant improvements.
🔸 Small adjustments = big results.
4. Learn the Basic Scoring
Familiarity with scoring makes the game more enjoyable and engaging.
- Each game consists of 10 frames.
- Players receive two chances per frame to knock down all 10 pins.
- A strike (all pins knocked down on the first try) and a spare (all pins down in two tries) both award bonus points.
At Bob’s Famous, the automatic scoring system handles everything — all you need to do is have fun.
5. Practice, Enjoy, and Improve
As with any activity, consistent practice leads to improvement. The more you play, the better you’ll get.
- Don’t worry about achieving perfection — focus on having a good time.
- Celebrate your wins, learn from your misses, and take breaks to enjoy refreshments from our menu.
Bowling is as much about the experience as it is about the score.
