If you need bowling equipment, we offer shoe and bowling ball rentals at all of our locations.

To help you get started with bowling, below are three important tips to help you knock down your first pins.

3 Important Bowling Tips For Beginners

Here are some bowling tips to help you roll that perfect strike and impress your friends while you begin to learn how to play the right way.  

1. Pick the Right Bowling Ball.

Don’t select a bowling ball that is too heavy for you to roll down the lane. Pick a ball that you are comfortably able to lift, but is also heavy enough to get the arm swing you need to pick up speed down the lane. Also, make sure that your fingers slide in and out of the holes easily — you don’t want them to get stuck and disrupt your release! 

2. Take Your Aim at the Bowling Pins. 

Use the arrow marks on each bowling lane to help guide you while taking the side of your bowling arm into consideration. Whether you are left or right-handed, you want the bowling ball to be lined up with the middle before you begin your release. After your first shot, you’ll want to move in the direction of the pins you missed to help adjust your trajectory.

3. Keep Your Swing Relaxed.

Keep your arm nice and relaxed to guide the bowling ball as you release it down the lane. Remember, practice makes perfect — or in some cases, even turkeys! But while it’s important to concentrate and work on improving your skills, it’s more important to have fun! Fun is what our bowling alleys at Main Event were built for.

Our bowling party host will help your partygoers fit into the right bowling shoes and find a ball that’s best for them.
