I'm having trouble with keeping my slide foot from turning in. Do you guys have any drills to help with this? It's really hurting my revs/balance.

Thanks!

I engineer and stuff.

actually it would be better for ure slide foot to point towards ure bowling hand which could stop u from pulling the ball ( not saying that u have that problem)

Is the heal or toe turing in?

so just practice sliding straight then pointing ure foot in towards ure bowling hand when coming close to ure stop, that could also give u some more axis tilt and a better roll overall

I had always thought the slide foot was supposed to stay straight.  Last year I went to Magic Carpets gathering in NC.  Ron had me start turning the toe of my slide foot out.  Stopped me from falling off the shot to the right when I had late timing, stopped me from rearing up when I had early timing.  

If you look at your slide foot, which would be forward, you have the toe and the heel for the front base, your trail leg is the 3d point forming a triangle.  Keeping the toe pointed staight down the lane gets all 3 points in a straight line and effects balance.

To correct it, all Ron had me do was concentrate on turning my toe to the left as I went into the slide.
