Bowling performance improves with proper head, shoulder, and foot positioning. Keeping your head steady with a downward chin and steady gaze aids swing and force exertion. A slightly lowered bowling shoulder relaxes posture, enhancing force transmission. Meanwhile, the right foot’s angle, around 7 to 8 o’clock when viewed from behind, affects body alignment and ball direction—lifting it can strengthen the release. Recording and analyzing one’s posture can help refine these aspects for a smoother, more effective bowling technique.
