Andrew Calvanese shares a few tips to help you develop and improve your bocce game: - The correct throwing position is for the body to be close to the ground, making contact with the sides of the feet (figure A).
- Hold the ball as if it were a tomato, not a baseball (figure B).
- Release the ball from the third and fourth fingers (figure C).
- The speed of the ball (e.g., five, 10, or 15 miles an hour) will depend on the length of the shot.
- Learn to make shots off the sideboards.
- Spend at least 15 minutes practicing on any court where you'll be playing.
- The game's strategy comes into play when you learn how to determine what kind of shot you need to make on the basis of such details as ball location and how many shots you have left.
