You've gotta admire Catalina's self-confidence.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

 

Don't bother watching online tips, Catalina 

Until you pick up a bowling ball and roll it down a few lanes, the tutorials won't make any sense 

But if it turns out you are a natural, you might make your own bowling tutorials as the "Alley Cat"

That's a tune I have not heard in a while. Used to be ubiquitous.

I haven't been bowling this century.  I would need some tips to get back in the groove.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

 

Tip 1. The balls are deliberatly not balanced.  The centre of mass is not the centre of the sphere.

2. The lanes are waxed or oiled unevenly.  Balls rolling down the lane move or remove some finish each frame.

3. Better to use a ball too light than too heavy.  You may loose some power, but you are less likely to hurt yourself.

4. Rental shoes?  Disposable socks.

Getting into one of the grooves (gutters) is easy. Staying out of them is what takes some practice.
