Wash with warm soapy water. Stubborn marks can be removed with car polish.
Method Of Use
It is suggested that the bowling arm should be held in a loose grasp, without clenching fingers too tightly. A fixed stance is satisfactory. A shod step will bring the arm closer the green and must be allowed for.
Picking up the bowl
To arrange the bowl in the arm with the correct bias and alignment place the bowl between your feet in the position you require. Hold the arm at a forward leaning angle and the jaws will fit over the bowl. With your thumb around the hand grip ( not on top ) lightly clench your fingers until the bowl can be picked up.
The Swing
When you swing the arm it is not necessary to force the delivery. By lifting the arm up in front of your body the target area can be lined up and the weight of the bowl will naturally allow your arm to go into the back swing prior to delivery. The height of the back swing will depend on the distance required.
The Delivery
Line up as for a normal delivery, be sure to take plenty of back swing without too much wrist as you should be swinging from the shoulder. As the arm swings forward unclench your fingers slightly to release the bowl at the bottom of the swing near the heel of your foot. Several practise swings should iron out any early or late release problems.
