First Bowling Experience

In fact, I am not very good at sports, and also I do not like sports very much. My favorite one and also only one I like was soccer. However, in my Grade 10, I learned a new kind of game of ball which I had never touched – bowling.
It was my first time to play bowling. Our family found the advertisement of the bowling alley near the home by chance, and decided to try playing once. Then, just as our family usually did, we started to play every day.
Maybe as you know, the way to play bowling is very easy: to throw the bowling ball, and knock bowling pins down. The more pins you knock down, the more points you will get. If you knock 10 pins in one time or in two times, you will get some more points. To knock 10 pins in one time is called strike, and to knock them in two times is called spare.
Because there were no teachers, our family should study on our own. Fortunately, my parents played bawling before, so they could teach me and my sister and my brother. Also, there were many players with high ability. I could imitate their actions to improve my skill. I found there were some differences between my family members’ actions and the superior players’ actions. Superiors gave the spin to the bowling ball while we just threw the ball straight. If we gave the spin to the bowling ball, the route of the ball would get bent. However, the way of the higher-lank player’s ball never gets bent. I have tried it many times, but always failed. I want to know how they can do that.
It is very tired of my hand to play the bowling. Because the ball I used was quite heavy – 13 pounds (about 5.9 kg), the action of throwing the ball is a load for my right hand. In fact, some of my fingers on the right hands hurt little at first. However, after my family and I had thrown the ball again and again, fingers became suitable to play bowling – they became harder than them before.
In the picture above the article, there are two pictures of score which I gained. They are both not my highest points. My highest mark is 159 points. It is the second highest (may be the first) mark in my family, but there are so many people could get over 200 points. (Why did I use “200 points”? The reason is that “200 points” is the mark of high game in the bowling rule.)
Bowling helps people get balance between two directions. It is good for our bodies. Also, it is one kind of sport which requires both strength and subtlety. If you only have strength, your ball will crush into the hole, but you should have strength to support your subtlety. Bowling is able to teach people how to get balance between two different characteristics.
p.s. Here is a video of me playing bowling. As you see, my skill is not very good.
