Spinning a ball in bowling is a technique that can be used to improve accuracy and increase the chances of knocking down pins. It involves putting a spin on the ball as it is released, which causes it to curve towards the target. By controlling the amount and direction of the spin, bowlers can make the ball hit the pins at a specific angle, increasing their chances of a strike or spare.
There are two main types of spins in bowling: hook and slice. A hook is a spin that causes the ball to curve towards the pins from the left side (for a right-handed bowler) or from the right side (for a left-handed bowler). A slice is a spin that causes the ball to curve towards the pins from the right side (for a right-handed bowler) or from the left side (for a left-handed bowler). The type of spin that is used will depend on the bowler’s individual style and the lane conditions.
