Fundamental Skills The Golden Rule of bowling: Move in the direction of the miss Making adjustments is part of bowling. Knowing this and being prepared to make changes often will give you an edge on the competition. The bowlers Golden Rule is to move in the direction of the miss, while keeping the same target on the lane. The concept of this adjustment is based on the use of a pivot, with the pivot being the target on the lane. If the ball misses to the left of the intended pin(s), move left on the approach. If the ball misses to the right of the intended pin(s), move right on the approach. Bowlers often will need to make this adjustment several times during a match. To do so, a bowler must be aware of his or her starting point on the approach and how the ball was released. Need a tip from USBC Coaching? Submit your question.
