	Bowling etiquette recommends that you respect a one-lane courtesy on both sides. For instance, if you and the person in the lane to your immediate right are up at the exact same time, the person on the right gets to go first. If you, a bowler to your left, and one to your right are all up at the same time, etiquette dictates that you step back and wait until they finish, as you're the one in the middle.

Take your stance

You've been cheering for your friends as they knock down pins, and all of a sudden, it's your turn. You approach the ball rack and locate your ball. Now what?

Take a second to use the little fan on top of the ball rack. It's there to help keep your hands dry from perspiration, as moisture might make your fingers stick inside the ball.
Grip the ball by placing your thumb in the single hole, and your middle and ring fingers in the two coupled holes. Keep your other fingers flat against the ball's surface.
Stand facing the pins, in-between the two sets of dots at the start of the approach.
Now, lift the ball so it's held in front of your chest, with the palm of your hand facing you. Place your free hand on the ball's underside for support. In this position, both your elbows will be pointed toward the ground.
