Mastering the figure-eight swing in bowling adjusts for body type, improving power and control, especially for larger players. This technique involves subtle movements and the arm’s inward push to manage the swing’s size, enhancing the angle for better ball rotation. The backswing height, while crucial for power, should not be forced but rather derived naturally from the push-downswing to maintain control and balance between upper and lower body strength.
