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.

Question

Is it good to throw as hard as I can?

Community Answer

Yes. The wiimote will sense even small motions at full power. You could easily test this yourself by doing a short, quick swing.

Question

Can 8 of us bowl using only 2 controllers?

Community Answer

I guess you can have two teams of four. One team uses one Wii remote, the other team uses the other. Take turns cycling between players on the team.

Question

How do I change the names of the players in Wii Sports?

Community Answer

You need to go into the Mii Channel and create a Mii, which you can then name. Repeat this as many times as you want.

Question

How far from the screen am I supposed to be standing when I release the ball?

Community Answer

Distance doesn't affect the precision of the ball. Just be sure to be close enough that the sensor can calculate your remote's movements.

Question

How far should I be from the TV screen when bowling in Wii Sports?

Michael Strickland

Community Answer

It mostly depends on how much space you have in your room. If it is the living room, usually you will have enough space to stand about 4-6 feet away from the TV, but the minimum distance should be 2 feet, any closer and you have the chance of either hitting the TV or running into it.

You cannot, there is a limit of 4 players, which rotate each turn. 8 players are only possible if you rotate around with the controllers in your party.

Question

I bowl from the third spot from center, why is my ball curving?

Michael Strickland

Community Answer

That is the game's mechanics, standing that far will cause the ball to curve farther to the left instead. If you bowl 1 spot from the center, your ball will usually curve to the left. This can also change if you tilt the controller left or right.

Question

How do i pick up the 7-10 split in Wii bowling?

Michael Strickland

Community Answer

It is hard to explain, but you can do this by making the ball curve to where you hit the 7 or 10 pins at the very edge of the pin, this will most likely cause the pin to go far left, hitting the 7th/10th pin.

Question

Which spot should I use to make the 4-5 split, the 6-5 split, or the 5-7 split, throwing a straight ball?

Michael Strickland

Community Answer

You can hit this from all spots, or if you like to hit it from a certain spot, it requires you to be precise in how you tilt the controller from left to right, which changes which way your ball goes.
