Title: Balance on Follow Through...
Post by: mrtappedalot on December 02, 2003, 02:30:30 AM

I'm 19, throw about 16-17 mph, average a pinch over 200, 5 step approach... I have this nasty habit of turning the ball, but falling off to the right side by swinging my right foot behind my body and back onto the right side, so I finish staring straight at the pins because I can't stay balanced after the release of the ball... I think this on occasionally leads to me pulling the ball, which, well, isn't good for the old chain... (Matter of fact, I lost a perfect game in the second shot of the tenth about a month ago when I pulled my Icon right down the pipe.)

The only thing I can think of is my center of gravity is pushed off to far to my right side when I release or I'm releasing too soon...

Anyone have a similar problem, or come across it before?  Anyone stumble across any really good articles on one's follow through?

Thanks for the help, kinda new here, but trying to stumble upon a bowling board where people are active and helpful... Which this one seems to be good at...

If your right shoulder is a lot lower then your left shoulder, their is a tendency  to fall off to the right. I know there are a lot of other reasons to fall off to the side. This is the most common mistake.

Thanks guys for the help so far!!!!

I did some open bowling tonight, and was able to keep balanced, only problem is I lost a ton of revs off my Carbide Bomb which for the first time ever wasn't covering more than half the lane.

Thanks for the article, it looks great; i searched high and low and it's nice to ask and find something this informative, I'll have to pick through it some time tomorrow and maybe shoot some more practice...

I like these boards a lot better than most of the others I've been at, and I've been here for about 2 days!

Welcome.  Lurk and read for a while because we have our share of idiots here too.    

 And I am not excluding myself on that one.
