Bowling with a spin involves imparting a rotational force to the ball as it is released, causing it to curve towards the pins. This technique enhances the ball’s ability to strike multiple pins, increasing the chances of a successful shot.
Mastering the art of spin bowling offers several advantages. It allows bowlers to hit the pocket, the optimal area between the front pin and the pin behind it, with greater accuracy. Additionally, spin creates a hooking motion, enabling the ball to curve around obstacles and hit pins that would otherwise be difficult to reach. This technique is particularly effective on oily lane conditions, where the ball tends to skid excessively.
