Are you feel bowler or a boards and arrows bowler? Just curious

I "target" with my feet and the pins... I believe it's considered focal point targeting...

I visualize my line and draw it back to the foul line, which is were I look. If less hook is desired I visualize my line and look at the dots.

Looking at a target and having "feel" are two completely different things, and you can definitely do and have both.

You guys that claim to be feel bowlers, what do you look at? Do you close your eyes? Look at the ceiling? The cocktail waitress? Do you just pick the ball up off the return and start walking?

I have actually practiced bowling with my eyes closed, but generally when bowling by feel.....I watch my laydown point, and only that.

If you do both of them, you are on your way to being a successful and very consistent bowler.

I get to the pocket better with my eyes closed. It's too bad I got to keep my eyes open during league play.
