Women bowlers told to lower release height and loosen stance
In New York at Kamen's movie tournament for women, many first timers release the ball too high and far down the alley. The guide notes that bending knees more and relaxing the body yields a smooth rolling ball, released a few inches from the floor, to prevent bouncing. Benny Williams, 147, from Newark, scored a technical knockout over Henry Kid Robinson, 152, from Philadelphia, in the 2nd round at Fall River Casino.
