How do you get the bowling ball to curve as it's going down the lane?

You need to curve your wrist and snap the delivery. This motion will make the ball curve, its called a hook.

To get a bowling ball to hook use a ball drilled for finger tips. As you release the ball, turn your wrist as if shaking hands with someone. This puts sidespin on your ball. A ball with it's core designed for hooking will give you more hook in your shot.

The keys to focus on when trying to hook or curve the ball, is to keep your hand behind the ball and try to throw it like your throwing a spiral with a football underhand. When trying to curve the ball, you need to rotate your hand through the ball, without having your hand go over top of the ball.
