How is bowling played correctly?

---

Scoring a perfect strike in bowling can be tricky, but there are a few simple tips that can help you get the swing of the sport. First, start by picking the right ball. Choose one that isn’t too heavy or too light. Ideally, it shouldn’t be over 10% of your body weight. Also, ensure the finger holes fit snugly to provide better control and prevent your thumb from slipping.

When it comes to aiming, focus on the arrow markings on the lane rather than the pins themselves. Righties should aim for the arrow just to the right of the centre, while lefties should target the arrow to the left of the centre. This is because opting for a direct shot toward the centre often leads to splits. By aiming slightly off-centre, you increase the likelihood of getting a strike.

How do you bowl without hurting your wrists?

---

Besides building up your muscle strength and stretching, the simplest way to prevent injury would be to wear a wrist brace. This will help lock and hold your wrist in place so you won’t need to worry about accidentally overflexing your wrists. You can also consider using a bowling glove or tape to give you a better grip on the ball. And, of course, remember to stay hydrated!

---

Can bowling cause carpal tunnel syndrome?

---

This depends on how frequently you go bowling. As bowling requires repeated throwing, your wrists can potentially become more susceptible to wrist aches or injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Other common bowling-related injuries include elbow strains and shoulder tendonitis, which can be caused by muscle strain and inflammation due to these repetitive movements. 

---

Do I need socks to go bowling in Singapore?

---

Yes, especially if you are renting bowling shoes from the alley themself. Most bowling alleys also sell socks for bowling shoes at about $2/pair. If you’re wearing your own bowling shoes, it’s not necessary to wear socks. But, it’s still advisable to, as they prevent your feet from slipping within the shoes.
