quote:While the conversation about hitting a target has been predominately focused on feet work, this is secondary to maintaining a 90 degree shoulder alignment to your break point. If you have other than 90 degrees than you are subject to swing flaring which will cause you to miss your target/break point. Drifting is not really the issue for hitting your target. Walking stright down the approach is actually counter productive if you are targeting other than straight down the lane. If you target line is to set the ball down on 10, hit second arrow at 15 feet and go stright down that board some distance and then hook to the pocket then walking stright is very productive. However, in todays game this is a lost and nearly useless art.Walking (or sliding) toward your target is much more productive in todays game of wide sweeping hooks. If we look at the vast majority of elite and professional bowlers we see this illistrated time and time again.
quote:i disagree, if you stand left and walk right its counterproductive to what you are trying to do, if you are playing 25 while standing on 40, trying to keep ball in middle of lane as long as possible and walk right and slide on 30, what good has it done to move inside.--------------------
