Switching from a 4 step approach to a 5 step.
« on: May 09, 2009, 03:49:14 PM »
Hello everyone,

I'm out of bowling for the time being, so i'd like to gather some information here. When i'm back from injury, i'm going to switch my approach to a 5 step, to hopefully get better timing. Now, I know that a 5 step approach is very comparable to a 4 step. But, I see a lot of different ways people take the first step. What is the best way to newly develop a 5 step approach?

Thanks!

I also switched from 4 to 5 step for the same reason. I just take half length step as a first step. Just something to get me moving. At one point I started taking too long a first step and it goofed up my timing until I went back to taking a smaller first step.

Moon, thanks a lot for the reply! I will take note of any reply I get. It really sucks being out of bowling.

Anyone else out there?

I also prefer the 5 step over 4 step approach. I've tried both, but I feel that the extra step fits my game better. It's just more of a comfort thing. The first step is where I can get all thrown off just as Moon said. If I keep that first step short then things seem to stay more consistent.

I agree with Moon. The first step should be small, then the ball moves with the second step and so on...
