Wii bowling attracts the feeling and effects of being in a real bowling alley, right in your own living room.

Steps

  1. 1
    Prepare your selections and select your game choice. There are three bowling training games and one official bowling game. Select the number of players and choose any Mii.
  2. 2
    Press the "A" button when it is your turn. Wait until everything loads and you can start bowling.

  3. 3
    Bowl the ball. Grip the controller and stretch your dominating arm back. Hold down the "B" button and swing your arm forward. When you want the ball to be released, let go of the "B" button.
  4. 4
    Put spins to your bowls. When making the forward swinging motion, curve your wrist to create a spin effect after letting the ball go tilt the remote to move the ball while it is going down the lane.
  5. 5
    Play "Picking Up Spares". Given 5 chances per game, you must knock down all pins given in each lane in a single throw. Each lane gives random pin locations, which can be viewed in the top right hand corner. Your score for this training game will be determined how many successful lanes you have completed in the 5 chances.
  6. 6
    Play "Power Throws". With 10 chances, you are given the chance to knock down as many pins as you can. The first lane consists of 10 pins and adds an additional row on each chance, resulting in 91 pins on the last lane. Your score is determined by how many total pins you knock down; strikes double the score. For example, if you get a strike on the first lane, your total is 20 (10 pins times 2).
  7. 7
    Play "Spin Control". Like "Picking Up Spares", you are given 5 chances. It's the same concept, but you only have to knock down one pin in each lane with barriers between you and the pins. This training game allows you to practice spinning balls and maintaining speed.

    Just make sure that when you swing you move the controller perfect straight. Move the controller down, forward, and up in a fluid motion without moving it to the sides at all.
