Many bowlers are trying to sharpen their game. That doesn't mean rebuilding everything. Most bowlers don't need to change their whole approach before the season starts. They need to clean up the habits that show up every match: spare shooting, watching ball motion, and making better decisions when the lane starts to change. Here are three scoring habits I would want bowlers working on...]]></description><link>https://www.levelupbowling.com/post/three-scoring-habits-bowlers-should-build-before-the-season-starts</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a906bb45635ed66de214401</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:09:35 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/826edc_62f0b6f911af4376b8fc75f6d1b5b6ee~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_909,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>JOHN FILUTZE</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[High School Bowlers: Don’t Just Practice, Prepare]]></title><description><![CDATA[High school bowling season is coming fast! One week bowlers are getting ready for tryouts. The next week they are practicing with the team, bowling matches, and trying to perform when the score actually counts. Bowling more games can help, but games alone don't always prepare a bowler for competition. A bowler can bowl a lot and still struggle with the same things once matches begin: missed spares, late moves, poor decisions, rushing shots, or letting one bad frame turn into two.

That's part of the game. But if you've bowled long enough, you know the truth: strikes don't save every game. Some nights, the lanes are tighter. Some pairs transition faster. Some shots hit the pocket and don't carry. Some games turn into a grind. That is when clean frames matter. A spare may not feel exciting, but it keeps you in the game.

It gives you a chance to stay close...]]></description><link>https://www.levelupbowling.com/post/strikes-don-t-save-every-game</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a81cdd50184b89c47fb81a6</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2026 14:52:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/826edc_a7b103111cef478b95058a63a1f507b6~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_630,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>JOHN FILUTZE</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[League Season Is Coming: Start With the Habits That Score]]></title><description><![CDATA[One week, you’re enjoying summer. The next, you’re standing on the approach for the first night of league wondering why your timing feels different, why your spare shooting isn’t as sharp as you remember, and why the ball reaction you expected isn’t there.

For many league bowlers, the first few weeks of the season become an unofficial preseason.
