The Importance of the Release in Bowling – Striker Wrist Support

Bowling has become a great pastime as those of all skill levels are able to enjoy a few frames without much concern or frustration. But for those that have made the pastime their sport of choice, becoming an advanced bowler includes a ton of variables from gear, to technique, to the lane condition itself. One thing is for sure, if you want to be an elite bowler you absolutely must have consistency! And what does consistency require? A perfect release.

The Release

By now we’re sure you’ve noticed that an advanced bowler’s goal is to repeat the same throw again and again so that they can get the same result – a strike. Getting that same result boils down to the point when the ball leaves your hand, a.k.a the release. The release is when your swinging motion imparts that rotation on the ball that will allow it to hook into the sweet spot (the strike zone!).

Keeping your arm and wrist completely straight during your motion and release is the key to putting your ball in the same trajectory each time. If you have a hitch in your arm or wrist during your release, you’ll be in danger of “overturning” the ball. Meaning that since you’re not providing the ball with that straight support, the ball will then have freedom to release with the wrong rotation, and that wrong rotation will cause you to either miss the strike zone, or even put you in the gutter!

So how do you make sure your release has that proper support?
