Bowling: How to play a perfect game ? [1996]

To be honest , I don't really know the answer to my own question !

I have read about our national bowler, Karen Lian striking it rich after she scored a perfect game in Singapore. I even personally know of a Penang Bowler, Mr. Eddie Lau who won RM 10,000 and a Volvo after a perfect game during one of the International Pesta Bowling Tournament held at Penang Bowl.

As for me, the highest I have ever achieved was a 279. Actually, I did played a perfect game in 1989 and all I got to show for it is RM 50 as it was during a 9-pin Tap tournament !
Anyway, although I am far from being a perfect bowler, I have been bowling (on & off) since 1984. I have read quite a number of bowling books and is quite competent on the technical aspects of the game. So here's some tips to help you bowl better.

How to Strike

If you are a right hander, you have to roll your ball into the 1-3 pocket over your favourite arrow from the right side of the lane. Conversely, if you are a left hander, roll your ball over the said arrow from the left side of the lane to hit the 1-2 pocket.

If your ball is on target over your selcted arrow into the 1-2 or 1-3 pockets and you leave a Pin-5, it simply means that your ball is FLAT ie by the time the ball reaches the pocket, it is sliding and not rolling. The solution is to put more LIFT into your delivery.
