Eli5: Why is there a specific form in bowling?

570 views

Is it technically the aim of the sport to master that form and just repeat to get a strike? Can someone do just an unorthodox throw as long as they strike?

You can bowl however you want, within the rules. But the reason that a relatively standard form develops is the same reason that it does in any other sport. There are some smaller mechanical variations in how people throw a baseball or football or swing a baseball bat or tennis racket, but certain parts remain largely the same because our bodies are all designed about the same, and there are certain ways that are optimal for doing things with consistency and precision while being able to apply whatever power is necessary
