Bowling Technique: Tracers Marks?
This bowling technique is about new marks that are being added to bowling lanes. Tracers are so new, I can’t find a diagram? I believe, they should be around the end of “Breakpoint”, pictured above. Ours lanes just received the tracer marks, and other bowling alleys may not have, yet. But if you watch the PBA Tour, you may have seen 4 sets of marks spaced across the lane before the bowling pins. These tracer marks will give you an idea of how well your bowling ball is working down the lane, especially just before hooking into the pocket.
This bowling technique is a new range finder marking system, you can use for your bowling ball finishing calculations. Say for example, your bowling ball flips or hooks a certain distance from the pocket. By using your marks, dots and arrows, you can now determine if your bowling ball is tracking wide enough from the pocket before it hits the pins. Here is how it works. After you release your bowling ball, you can follow your shot all the way down to these tracers. By watching your ball reaction far down the lane and just before pocket entry, you can adjust your marks to the tracers, so your bowling ball reacts at the right spot before the pocket. For example, there are two tracers on each side of center. If you are right handed, you can gauge if your bowling ball rolled over the correct tracer for shot, say the second one from the right. The angle can be corrected from your marks if your bowling ball went left or right of your spot at the tracer mark. If you need to go further right, you can move your feet more to the left and use the same arrow. Giving you a further right shot to hit your tracer spot. The opposite is true if your ball is too far right, just move your feet more to the right. By hitting the same arrow or board mark your bowling ball should go more left, and hopefully over your intended tracer mark. So the tracers work like a second arrow further down the lane.
The bowling technique is new, but gives a idea of your bowling balls reaction as the lanes change. Adjusting to the left or right will depend on your type of ball reaction. But now you can gauge your bowling ball’s location, just before it turns into the pocket. It’s like using a long rifle compared to a short pistol, your accuracy will improve, because you are now using marks way down the lane too. Don’t be frustrated by your adjustments, because as the game progresses your marks will too. Now you will know where your bowling ball should be before it hits the pocket. Good luck and give the tracers a try.
