A viper strikes with multiple angles of attack. This pattern will challenge players to attack the pins from multiple angles in order to score well.

2008 Winners on Viper: It was a day of firsts as Brad Angelo and Stefanie Nation each captured their first career PBA title at the Pepsi Viper Championship at Thunder Alley in Omaha, the second stop of the 2008-09 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour.

Description: The 2009-10 Viper has also been changed to allow for more ball roll in the middle part of the lane. While the Viper is a multiple angles pattern and normally yields medium to high scores, bowlers this season will need to place a premium on the ball traveling straight through the front part of the lane when the lanes are “fresh”. Once Viper breaks down, multiple angles are available for attack. Even with the changes, Viper still remains the most versatile of the five named patterns and can be used on any lane surface. The champion on Viper will be the bowler who can outsmart their opponent playing multiple lines. 2009-10 Lumber Liquidators PBA Tournaments Using Viper: Viper Championship – Allen Park, MI PBA Match Play Championship – Norwich, CT PBA Marathon Open – Baltimore, MD

You need to know that the center of each of these pins is twelve inches away from each other and this a long way for a pin to travel and they do not travel the same way each time they go down. This is information you should know and the way to learn is ask the management of the local alley you go bowling for permission to see the pins close-up.

The head pin or the one pin is sixty feet away from you. You may have what looks like a perfect strike ball, but it may be a fraction of an inch off. And you are unable to see the difference at 60 feet.

A perfect strike is when the ball hit’s the 1-3 pocket deflecting left of the 3 pin into the 5 pin then right into the 9 pin dropping into the pit. The 1 pin goes left into the 2 pin which goes into the 4 pin and the 4 pin takes out the 7 pin. The 5 pin takes out the 8 pin and the 3 pin takes out the 6 pin which takes out the 10 pin.

Then there is the 8-10 split (the punisher.) This combination was probably created by less than a quarter of an inch. The ball carried into the 5 pin a fraction light and the pin shot across in front of the 8 pin and all because your ball was too light on the head pin (1 pin.) Making the 6 pin go around the 10 pin, because the 6 pin did not go directly toward 10 pin.

In the game of 10 pin bowling, in order to get a strike, it is necessary for several pins to go in a straight line. The bowlers needs to know how easy it is for one, two or several pins to remain standing. Even if the ball it look good from 60 feet. These are only facts and not meant to discourage you. Just so you know why you don’t always get a strike.

The average male bowlers score is around 153 and for women it is 130 and you have probably see the AMF Champions play. As an average bowler you were probably amazed at how easy these professional bowlers score a 200 or higher game. Even reaching 700 and sometimes a 800 series.

The thing to remember is you are classified as one among average bowlers because that’s the way you want it. And if your score is under the average, then you may be just a beginner or maybe not interested in the game at all. You go to the lanes because you go with friends or you bowl in any of bowling leagues to accommodate a friend. And before you know it – you’re hooked?

One of the major difference between the stars (professionals) and those who have averages are around 170 -180s range is being able to shrug off a bad game. Every professional bowler runs across a game in the lower 100s. It only takes a couple of nine or eight counts, three or four splits, maybe a miss. Everyone can have a bad game and so even a champion can have a 140 game, even in a championship match.

“Practice makes perfect.” so the saying goes and it’s very true. Practice your 10 pin bowling game to improve your average. And you will be amazed at how much your game will improve.

Follow these few bowling tips and you will be scoring higher in no time.

USBC Coaching advocates keeping the swing in line with the shoulder joint of your bowling arm, varying left or right by at most only four inches.

Top players will consistently keep the ball in the groove. They may tuck their arm swing in slightly when coming forward from their backswing. This allows them to have stronger leverage and hand position at the point of release.
