Changing the tilt of your bowling ball

Changing the tilt of your bowling ball by adjusting your hand position can have a significant impact on the amount of hook generated during your shot. To increase the tilt and generate more hook, try rotating your hand slightly to the side of the ball as you release it.

This side rotation creates more tilt on the ball’s axis, causing it to hook more aggressively down the lane. On the other hand, to decrease the tilt and reduce hook potential, focus on keeping your hand more behind the ball at release without much side rotation.

By experimenting with different hand positions and releases, bowlers can fine-tune their tilt and hook potential to adapt to varying lane conditions and improve their overall performance on the lanes. Practice and experimentation are key to mastering this aspect of bowling technique.
