left eye dominance for right handers is common for great golfers.

Nicklaus, Jones and not as great; but pretty good, me!

I was at one time a fine bowler right handed.  I believe it is not that important, as a steady head in the release area for accuracy!

REgards,

Thanks Greg7,
this is exactly what in my mind, you know my suffering so intensively, I have a old days silver coach here and we both trying to fix this problem in these days, the hard time reason is before I know the compensation of the borad differents, I used to use all my energy to hit the mark that caused me force the release so bad, so if I cannot concentrate after work, my muscle memory get back and caused me error. I always think there should be some hidden magic in bowling sport, I am trying out all alignment, any finally I found if I use my right foot for board counting and faced my body more right/open, then it is good enough, I can see that kind of alignment is what partick allen like but this is just my own opinion.

Anyway, this kind of targeting/alignment are not even agreed by the others, that is why I am so sad and seeking someone to help me out.

having two eys gives you greater depth perception. eye dominance in bolwing is not all that big a deal.

you are looking at a single fixed target several feet away. you are not lining up a projectile by two fixed points.

if you consistently miss your target I would look at the issue of a inside/out swing. inconsistent distance between your setdown and foot position.

I am also RH, left eye dominate.  Doesn't really bother me with bowling.  I tend to just aim for an area, nothing as precise as a single board.  I just throw a couple and get a feel for where the ball needs to go.  Once I find it I'm pretty good about repeating the shot.

Makes it that much more difficult for hunting or shooting with a scope.

Thank you very much, those advise you guys gave me are valuable, I will combine all of them and finesse them to be one weapon of me. :-)

Just reading through here, I saw that someone mentioned covering the right eye with something. This is often done in shooting sports for beginning shooters with cross-dominance. Many sporting goods stores (i.e.: Dick's, Gart's, Bass Pro, Cabela's) sell special glasses that are designed to do this . . . Or, you can get a pair of old shop goggles or whatever, and place a piece of duct tape over one eye.
