How long is your current slide? Like half the approach or a couple of inches?

Resizing slides does not make your presentation larger or smaller, Since each ruler has a logarithmic scale, it is possible to align them to read the logarithmic sum of the numbers, and thus calculate the product of the two number.

I would think that a shorter slide (or no slide) would put extra pressure on the knees.
In addition, it could result in balance issues of its own, particularly for older bowlers.
I'm a senior (old schooler). A while back, I attempted to shorten my slide in order
to develop later timing. The idea was to be better able to develop more hand leverage at release. The end result was that it simply didn't work for me. It created more stress on my knees. As a result, I abandoned it and I have resorted back to sliding.

Of course, everyone is different. What didn't work for me might not be your experience.

Thanks for the information and your experiences. I just feel like I'm stretching or extending myself to much in my slide or at the end of my approach and it is causing me some balance issues. Any idea's on things I could try to correct this?

How did this problem happen?

The only thing I can think might be a contributing factor is I increased my ball speed so maybe trying to throw it harder might be an issue.
