I’m still getting the ins and outs of power (or speed) worked out, but one thing I can say for sure is that you certainly don’t need a full bowling action and you don’t need to swing your arm quickly either. Inverted hook shots do have the risk of totally failing every once in a while, if you don’t quite get the motion right, and this can leave you looking a little foolish. I think it’s more reliable, but it might also be because I find it more enjoyable to play in a flashy way. I like to use this type of shot rather than trying to bowl in a straight line next to the gutter. You’re probably going to get about a quarter turn out of your wrist, but that will be enough to put some incredible inverted spin on the ball. It’s worth noting that with inverted spin, your wrist isn’t going to turn anywhere near as far unless you’re a contortionist. Then, as you want to release the ball, try to spin your wrist in the direction you want the ball to spin – outwards, rather than inwards. To do an inverted hook shot, you’re going to have a somewhat similar setup. You can also spin the ball in the opposite direction, which can be really useful for picking up some difficult spares – or just for showing off. It might take a few practice bowls to get this right, but you’ll quickly start to see insane amounts of spin being generated. Remember: still keep hold of ZR this whole time. This will release the ball and it should generate a lot of spin. Move your arm forward in a straight motion, then flip your hand over 180 degrees inwards. What you’ll want to do is start with your wrist facing upwards, or as close to upwards as feels natural (it doesn’t need to be strictly facing the ceiling or anything). The secret to producing spin – and lots of it – is all in the wrist. But that doesn’t work on the Switch – you need a slightly more complex motion, but it’s better in terms of being a fun game to play. If you ever played on the Wii, all you needed to do was angle your controller inwards and then bowl in a forward motion.
It’s definitely harder to spin the ball in Switch Sports than it was back in the days of Wii Sports.
WII SPORTS GOLF GLITCH HOW TO
If you want to know how to spin the ball in Switch Sports bowling, I’ve got you covered here. If you do this correctly, you should consistently get strikes in a way that you don’t risk spinning too much or getting the wrong angle. You should even overexaggerate your arm movement to make sure that the ball will be thrown with a lot of power.
Once you have lined up your shot as described, throw the ball in a straight line - without any spin. However, this is not real life this is Switch Sports. This has to be flawlessly lined up to work.Īnyone who bowls knows that this isn’t the best way to get strikes in real life. What you want to do here is to aim directly in the middle of the middle arrow. There is a spot for consistent strikes when you throw the ball without any spin, and it might even be much easier to get a strike this way. That being said, this is only the case when you put a spin on the ball. You can also angle your bowl using Y and A to adjust left and right accordingly, but I personally don’t use that option at the moment and I’m already seeing great results.
WII SPORTS GOLF GLITCH PROFESSIONAL
If you’ve ever seen professional bowlers bowling, you’ll know that spin is key for consistent strikes. This is the perfect place to be bowling from, in my opinion, when you put spin on the ball. If you’re left handed, obviously follow these instructions but for the opposite side of the lane. The arrow should be maybe 1-2mm on the inside of the red line. To position the ball in the perfect place for getting strikes, line up the outside of your dotted red line with the inside of the widest arrow in the lane, and then go ever-so-slightly wider than that. You don’t need to time your run up or anything like that your power, spin and more will all come from your arm and wrist action, so basically just press and hold ZR until way after the ball is released. If you release this button early, you can mess things up. The ball will release automatically, so just keep this held down until you’re ready to release the ball. You can press it and bowl straight away, or you can press it and bowl 30 seconds later, it doesn’t matter.
Pretty much the only other thing you need to know is that you don’t let go of ZR at any point of the bowling motion – just keep it held down for way longer than you think you might need to in order to be safe. That’s the back right button on your Joy-Con, like R2 on a PlayStation controller. The basics of Switch Sports bowling are really simple: you’ll need to hold down ZR to begin your bowl.
