The curve ball is the most difficult delivery to use successfully in the bowling game, since it requires a tremen-duus tremen-duus turn of the fingers and wrist when releasing the ball. This delivery is not recommended for beginners or the mediocre bowler bowl-er because of the strain on the hand and wrist and because it takes a lot of practice to control the curve ball. When delivering a curve, the bowler moves his approach to the center of the alley and lays his ball down at a point in the center of the foul line. The ball is aimed to the right side of the alley and if properly proper-ly delivered, it will curve back into the 1-3 pocket. - Occasionally, a bowler will find an alley that seems to have too much polish on it, and if he does, he will find he can use a curve to advantage. advan-tage. .
