Carry several different balls for different lane conditions. Bowl in several different leagues in multiple bowling centers to learn to adjust to different lane conditions. If you have trouble carrying the corner pins, try moving your feet to the left or right one board to alter the angle of your ball into the pocket. If moving left or right doesn't work, try moving your feet forward or backwards 6 inches. When left with a tough split, try to pick up as many pins as possible.
Every pin counts.
Pay attention to how you are lined up. Improve your accuracy by concentrating on individual boards rather than general areas. If lane conditions are breaking down and your ball is hooking too much, try spotting your target a few feet further up the lane.
