Understandably we all vary in the way we deliver the ball (i.e. approach).  My question to you is, what kind of approach do you have?  deliberate?  fast (i.e. Marshall Holman)?  slow then becoming fast?

Do you have a "rythm" to your approach?

Also, are you superstitious?  If so, what do you habitually?

I have a little "bounce" before I begin.  When the joints are warmed up (take me nearly a full game), things begin to flow (approach wise that is), leaving me to concentrate on something else.  As for superstitions, I haven't thought about it.

OOOOOOOHHHHH   man,  do I dare reply to this post? LMAO

Ok, well here it goes....

I have a 5 step approach (4 wiggles and a heave as known to some )
I start with my left foot behind me with all of my weight on it (RH).
I then shift the weight to my right leg (step one) then go to the other 4 steps.

As far a rythm, I have a song that I keep in my head, and I take my steps
to it.

Slow becoming fast would be the pace.

I start at the end of the approach and finish at the end of the approach
(actually, about 6-7 feet behind the foul line. I had an accident once causing me to stick and fall into the lanes so now I stop back far enough so that I have time to stop this mass that is I lol

OKay, I have opened up the can.......

Then worms can come out now lol

5 step approach, first 3 are slow, then last 2 I explode to the line in order to get as much leverage as possible.
