Though you
might not earn official
points for bowling style, you certainly won't lose any either. A good finishing
pose can make the difference between a regular, run-of-the-mill bowl and
something with pizzazz! Incorporating bowling poses into your evening can make
for an awesome team building experience or bring the kids together in fits of laughter at a
birthday party. Here are some suggestions for you to try and master.
The
Swan's Curtsey
The Swan's
Curtsey is launched during your swing, before you release the ball. As you take
your final step and begin swinging, lower your body down on one knee, stepping
your left foot over the back of your right in a curtsey motion. As the ball is
released, thrust your non-bowling arm outwards into a graceful swan's
neck-shape and maintain position. You will be considered the prettiest ballerina
in the room, as well as the greatest bowler (whether you hit the pins or not is
irrelevant, you look amazing).
The
Superman
During the
final steps of your spectacular bowling performance, thrust your mighty ball
onwards and at the same time drop to one knee. After you release, keep the
momentum going in your bowling arm until it is completely stretched forwards.
Your non-bowling arm should either be resting in a bicep-bulging supercurl
or pressed firmly into your waist. For added oomph, get a run-up to the bowling
line so that when you drop to one knee you slide a little bit.
The
Whirlwind Swag
After you
release your ball, in one quick motion, spin yourself around to face your
awe-struck audience. Stand to your feet as calmly as possible and begin walking
away as the ball rolls - it doesn't matter what pins you knock down because
you've already knocked everyone's jaws down. If you have long hair, swirl it as
you spin then flick it out of your face as you strut. Your nonchalant bowling
prowess will flabbergast and astound, and you may immediately acquire
sunglasses, depending on your swag levels.
