How Can I Improve As A Super-Senior Bowler?

If you ask how can I improve as a super-senior bowler, then you are likely 70 years of age or more?

If you have been bowling many years and are stuck with a mediocre average or a declining average, try a tip or two easy enough to begin.

Start with the checking with your pro shop professional the total weight and fit of your bowling ball(s).

As a super-senior bowler, it is very important to not only have your ball checked periodically in the pro shop for a proper fit but to make sure the weight of your bowling ball is not too heavy nor too light.

The sizes and flexibility of your bowling fingers can change with age for any number of reasons such as weight gain or loss, arthritis, or loss of strength. The same holds true in your grip or in your wrist.

It is surprising to learn, however, that bowlers 70 years of age or more are using too light of a ball than one too heavy.

Many senior and super-senior bowlers believe that they must drop four pounds instead of perhaps only one or two pounds in total ball weight, they will become more accurate players.

If your ball fits your hand right and you develop a well balanced approach and a relaxed, free swing, you can use a slightly heavier ball than you may think and benefit from a greater force imparted on the bowling pins leading to improved pin action.

Most senior and super-senior bowlers resist taking bowling lessons to make sure they are getting the most out of their game.

One lesson from an experienced instructor can help you with your form and with good swing and release techniques.



Even if you carry a respectable average or a high average, tuning up your game can benefit your scores so why wait? Invest a little time and money in your game and strive for improvement.

The simplest way to improve as a super-senior bowler is to have your bowling ball equipment checked for proper fit and total ball weight and then tune your game by taking a lesson or series of lessons to set you on a path to good scoring.
