I used to have the privelege of practicing with the Great PBA hall of famer Dave Davis(20 titles).

Considered one of the best bowling forms of all time and still was a force on the senior tour at age 58 when it downsized.

He practiced this fundamental for 45 minutes in every practice session he did starting  in 1957 without even looking at the pins.  When I did it(occassionally ...it resulted in a lot of cash for me).

Often if you cannot do it do to thighs you either have big thighs...or you have a narrow tripod.

As pictured in this article.

Tripod(note pictures)

I am working on reopening my tripod right now!

REgards,

I believe close to the ankle and projected LEVEL out onto the lane are the most important overlooked fundamentals of good bowling in the game!

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..

Stick your butt out behind and to the left to give your arm room to move freely past the hip and right leg. Having the head over the ball helps clear the path for a free and smooth armswing. Getting close to the ankle will come naturally with a free path for the ball to fall into.
