I have heard this before by some bowlers. Can it actually be done?.

When I am on the approach I get set. My feet are in the position, I try to get in the proper stance, I have already decided my target, and how I want to throw. Everything in place, decision has been made, now its time to execute. Now I might not get it everything right and cause me to make a bad throw (miss target, not follow through, not balanced at the line).

Why would anyone do this? What's going to change from the original plan in the frame in the first step, of where you are on the appoach, to your slide and delivery?

I am going to answer that, YES, it can be done.

There was a time when I was younger, and bowled MUCH more, that I was able to make small adjustments to my swing and release during the approach.

I CANNOT DO THIS NOW. I do not bowl near enough to be near sharp enough to do this, but I have been able to in the past.

If you bowl enough, the brain becomes dis-engaged and it all becomes a repetitive activity involving muscle memory at the highest level. If you bowl enough to be in that minority, and develop your "feel" for the game to a high enough level, you can do it.

It actually wasn't anything I concsiously did, it sort of just "happened" and I only had time to realize it after the ball was gone. If you get there, your body will make some of its own adjustments. It's pretty strange, but its true.
