Foul Line
The foul line is the line at the end of the approach and the beginning of the lane. Start by walking up to the foul line with your bowling ball and put your heels to the line, looking back at the settee.
Take four and a half steps back toward the settee. Turn around and face the pins.

Nice job Pat, I’m going bowling
Just hit my first ever stike! SUPER STOKED!!! XD
Wait til you get 2 in a row…then 3…then 4 and so on 😊
I was playing wii sports bowling on Thanksgiving and got 3 in a row for the first time, which is called a Turkey. Sadly in real life I’m not that good, my balls go in the gutter a lot lol.
Reminds me of how my dad taught me how to bowl when I was a kid. Well done 👍
Thanks so much! This sport is one meant to be shared between generations. Building memories is what it’s all about!
My classmates will need those tips, thanks!
You mean klasmates
Bowled perfect game my first time following these steps today. Thank you. I know it it was 75% pure beginners luck but this video helped for sure. Can’t wait to get back and see if I can do it again. Thank you.
A 300 game following basic bowling tips video. I believe you, thousands wouldn’t!
@OneTwentyOver80 I can’t tell it it’s sarcasm but I actually went again and bowled awful. So unfortunately it was more like 99% beginner’s luck lol. This time I scared only 170. Still a good tutorial.
@Mo Uddin “only a 170” i can only dream of getting up that high one day lol
I am having a bowling birhday party today and this really helped
