What then is the formula which you need to learn to attain a superlative level of relaxed

manner, comfort and poise before a shot? The first part of that seemingly elusive formula
(and a very significant part) is the correct stance.
Make sure you have:
9
9
9
9
9

Erect position
Knees slightly flexed (close together and not touching)
Feet about 3 inches apart
Elbows close to or against the hips
Those with wider hips need to hold the ball parallel to hips. This allows the ball
to fall to the backswing in a straight line, preventing undue change of body
position
9 Holding the ball close to the body with the elbows entrenched against the hips,
this is the position adopted by many classic bowlers (Chris Barnes, Norm Duke,
David Ozio, and Brian Voss). Their success rightly indicates that this is a
superior initial stance for major achievements in bowling.
9 Routine exercises are very important to relax muscles. Keep up with them.

The Pushaway
If the push-away is good, you can achieve an efficient armswing. The push-away takes
you to the right strike. It triggers off the movement of the pendulum swing.
The action:

When the ball reaches the flat plane of the downswing, position your hand and
wrist to speed up through the shot.
Let the non-bowling hand bear the brunt of the balls weight; begin push away
in a gentle and, if possible, extended manner
When the ball reaches the peak of the push away, disengage all muscles of the
arm
Transfer the ball weight to the shoulder point
allow the ball to descend due to its own weight
