OK, THIS is How to Get Strikes in Switch Sports Bowling

[@lunyteve]

I was watching this during an elimination game online, I started doing it after the second frame, and I won. I got strikes a lot of the time, but I also had to pick up some 1 pin spares

[@zagreus3449]

Same I was playing with my dad lmao

[@lunyteve]

@@Eli669 Nope. It worked for me

[@jordanngjiaweimoe8085]

Same 😅

[@equanimityofficial]

Same but in local, I can’t get a strike because of pin 10, I literally scream like if I didn’t hit it, but now, I have no fear and help me get the perfect game

[@-Angelx-]

I found this technique quite efficient as well. I taught the same one to my grandma after she couldn't get a single strike while I went against her. Now she's getting every single strike and beating me at nearly every game! XD Overall great tip, usually I get 1 pin spares but thats ok.

[@KitsuneFyora]

Funniest thing is that this is my strategy in real life, and so long as I add a decent amount of power, i get strikes. Tried using the same exact strategy in switch sports and found out it was a sure way to get many strikes. Didn't know this was the best way possible. Thanks for the confidence boost 👍👍

[@underscore6978]

The same thing happened with my little sister… she’s 8 years old and she never played wii sports, she lined up her shot straight down the middle and ended up beating me in her first ever game…

[@KySignature]

My sister doesn’t play any game except for sims 2 I can’t beat her in bowling no matter the mode😂

[@underscore6978]

[@mattbarrington4323]

SAME WTF IS THIS

[@maxgoose1994]

Anyone who never had bowling would most likely go straight to the center, somehow that works better than we expected...? Except for me. I literally pierced every pin and had a split.

[@hiway19891]

@@maxgoose1994 Because in the real life, no one can throw exactly straight

[@abby_babber]

A strategy that works for me is going just left of the middle arrow (so that the line guide is fully to the left of the arrow, no overlap). Go just right of the middle arrow if you're left handed. Then you let your character walk all the way to the end of the lane (press the trigger and pull back slowly and just let them keep walking until they stop). Then do a quick flicking motion (no full arm arc) as fast and as straight as possible (even doing a really informal double hand hold if you have to in order to keep the Joy Con from spinning). I got a perfect 300 game with this strategy and have been getting consistent Final Round plays on online bowling.

[@abby_babber]

@@SIGMA-o9v 2 years later, wow. I'm glad someone else is using this strategy. I unfortunately stopped playing Switch Sports a long time ago, but I'm happy you got results with it.

[@tjkatz]

I bowled a 300 on Wii Resort using an angle away from center and a nasty hook. Also, all the strikes were buried deep unlike some of the strikes here which are shallow and weak. It's about consistency guys. There's a million ways to bowl a strike.

[@MyUncleWorksForNintendo]

This. As long as you can figure out one shot/angle to get a strike and reproduce that every time, you'll bowl s perfect game. The straight method is probably the easiest though, since it's easier to ensure a straight hand than to get the exact correct curve out of all possible curves.

[@Cyorg13]

I feel like the throwing system just feels different from Original Wii Sports, Resort, and Club. NSS just kinda feels like you throw and just hope it goes the way you want, so thanks for this.

[@cynthiajennifer9070]

PoV me watching this after I got 218-259 ed

[@switchpower64]

I got 3 games in a row with nothing but strikes! Thank you!!! I tried so many strategies but I swear I would’ve never thought to try this

[@itstoasty7089]

Just know speed counts. Going to fast is like poking straight through paper. Going to soft is without penetrating it. At just the right speed, you can snatch the paper out of your hand with the other. Same for speed hitting that sweet spot.

[@PfarurzWurz]

are you still talking about bowling here

[@itstoasty7089]

@@PfarurzWurz yeah lol just an analogy for speed when you hit the sweet spot

[@didgerydoo]

Event houghit's been a year since you commented, is there a way to throw with more speed? I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but no matter how fast I swing my arm, or how much force I use, the speed of my throw just seems to stay the same... resulting in being unable to throw strikes consistently. (Sorry, English isn't my native language, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here...)

[@itstoasty7089]

@@didgerydoo The joy cons have a velocity sensor so keep trying

[@QueenChaeulOfficial]

What might be easier is to align it slightly to the left and throw naturally without trying to curve, and for me, it naturally curves to the right and hits the perfect spot

[@krey9102]

I played my 10 year old sister who has never held a remote before and she did this strategy. I usually bowl over 200 and she beat me easy. I can confirm, for some odd reason, this is the meta🤷🏼‍♂️

[@benplatt3765]

It works so well. My best is 237 after 5 games. My best before that was 193. Big improvement. I won 4 of the 5 and placed 3rd in the other.

[@cj9146]

I found this on my own playing with my brothers and increased my record from about 200 to a 298. It is so simple yet works almost every time. So much easier to win online.

[@griffd7916]

A lot of these have resulted in me going straight in the middle and getting a split. Causing no spares or strikes for me.

[@MxnchisK]

L

[@HoudiniNL]

Me too. It didn't drift off to the right. But then I found my 'sweet spot', putting the aim line against 1 lane marker to the right of the middle. Took me a handful of games to get a 296 (11 strikes + 6) and 2 games later a 300!

[@bggallagher1]

me too 😔

[@bumpsy]

yeah spin is quite random. You need to get lucky

[@tubbzyh]

Tilt your remote slightly to the right like barely

[@mkkaram444]

Bro literally the same thing happened with me but with my sister like wtf this is bs I’m still determined and trying to get a strike consistently with a spin shot like actual bowling but I guess the game design is for casual players and supposed to be the simplest thing to do is the best strat🤣💀

[@mark_md]

Thank you and your wife so much. I always suck at bowling... now i had my first win and my first game over 200. Thank you! 👍🏻

[@starkers1997]

I had a win with 235 last night

Nice video straight to the point and easy to do unlike needing precise curve

[@melty4204]

So a couple of months after this video came out there was an update that changed the bowling physics. According to Nintendo they basically hardcoded it so that the pins are easier to knock over when you curve and harder when you throw straight. The change isn't so dramatic that throwing straight is no longer viable but there actually is something to be gained by developing a curve technique now.

[@acagliuso]

Wow this definitely works. I had been struggling with bowling out of all the sports and just bowled a 230 after only getting up to 150 before. Doesn’t make sense as a bowler but this technique works

Been using this method, started playing only three days ago, won 3 games in a row, all above 210+ points average and got enough points to finish the robot completion set today before it ended! Edit: this method no longer works, like at all, thanks to the new update, but my new method is to go all the way to the end, 2 clicks opposite direction, then turn angle to face exact middle of the up most front pin. Has approximately 60% or higher chance or working

[@fd3sforlife145]

Yo this works, just make sure the ticker line is completely covering the middle arrow. If any part of the arrow is showing it will hit the middle pin dead center and not be a strike

Incredible!! I'm going to try this I'll update after I'm done with a game I got 2nd literally down by one point from first but not bad!!

[@_kentaroyt_]

i have been doing this strat for a very long time, i once discovered it by accident, looking at it further it has to do with the way the ball makes contact with the front pin and how i touches the two pins behind this, after testing further I have been able to nail it really well and i now dominant survival matches online

[@hiway19891]

This is also why I like doing a obstacle challenge run instead, since some people are like robots that can hit almost every pins without any obstacles

[@gatomon2002]

Make sure you swing your arm back and forwards straight, don't throw your arm in any other direction. Just literally throw your arms out. ALso make sure you don't turn your wrist at all. The entire time my joy cons remains facing upwards toward the ceiling.

[@ramen5802]

try giving the controller a slight turn to the right at the very end. also make sure the red line is exactly center, even if its covering the middle arrow it may still not be center

[@abby_babber]

If you're throwing super straight shots, try going for just left or right of the center (the pocket). If you throw fast enough, it's gonna give you consistent strikes. A good position is just left or right of the center arrow so that the line doesn't overlap any arrows. Make sure the arrow is "flush" with the line on either side.

[@isaiahthechristiangamer8716]

This looks a lot better. I might have to try this method on my own.

This helped a lot ima sub

[@-Xanaa-]

I move my arrow over to triangle on right of the middle one. I hold joy con to my chest hold button make sure controller straight. Then in the quickest motion possible i got up and down like 6 inches bringing it back up to my chest. Also get my character to move up to the line before doing all this. Strike everytime.

[@heertmetselaar5747]

searched for a video on how to get more strikes, cuz i played with my gf, full confidence that i could regularly hit a strike as i had been doing on wii sports resort using spin. sadly however, it went exactly as described in the video. she just aimed straight down the lane and kept hitting strike after strike... good to know how to beat her now atleast

[@ajstyles9779]

I did that the other night and managed to get a perfect game and then the next morning i had another 2 more perfect games

[@domomcbeasty743]

I always knew that in real Bowling they do around the middle but more to the side of the middle, so I started doing that and strikes each time…

As an avid bowler in real life, this is very interesting to see the game physics work like this instead of irl pin action

[@gatomon2002]

The spin method never worked for me. I found a similar method while i was trying to figure out the most consistent method. Instead I put the arrow on the 3ird from the right and literally just throw my arm back and straight forward. The most consistent strike method for me now.
