  2. Get the red guideline that pops up when you are moving your Mii in line with the two last notches on the bowling alley floor (These notches are slightly closer together than the rest).

  4. Release it when your arm is pointing straight down, so that the ball will roll along the alley, and won't hop when you release it. If done correctly, the ball will then curve, and crash directly into the first pin. You should get a strike. [2]
  5. Another way to get a lot of strikes is to keep swinging your arm with the B button down, until your Mii gets to the start of the lane. Let go just as the arm swings up. [3]
    • Hold and swing the wii remote as instructed.
    • Do not release the button. Before doing so, swing it back, and then swing it forward again, and then release the button. This makes the shot straighter, and usually results in you getting a strike. You can also swing so you get a fast throw that goes across the ground normally.
    • Do not twist your wrist unnaturally.
    • If it spins too much, move your mii closer to the side that you bowl from best.
    • Practice until it spins just the right amount to hit the front pin. [4]

  • Question
    What am I doing wrong if it looks like my ball is going straight, but one pin is always left standing?
    Community Answer
    The ball should not be going straight. It should go slightly to the right or left of the number one pin, depending on whether you are bowling right-handed or left-handed.

  • Question
    When I'm trying to hit a split, why does the ball always spin the opposite direction?
    Community Answer
    When playing Wii Bowling, the way your hand is tilted affects the direction the ball will be inclined towards.

      • These instructions still work when done the opposite way (so moving to the last two left notches, etc.), with either hand. But this is recommended for the right so the left won't work so well.

      Warnings

      • When bowling the ball, make sure you have the wrist strap on. If you bowl with all your might and let go of the Wii Remote accidentally, you are likely to break your TV and the Wii remote.
