This is to all those who replied to my original post. What I was trying to convey is this: with the dots on the approach to guide you, you start at exactly the same spot. All of your logical replies leave open the EXACT spot you sart at because there are no additional starting spots on the approach. AS I think about it WOULDN'T it mzake huge sense to have perhaps 3 sets of dots to guide various bowlers? If a bowler is off with his feet a few inches along with all the other variables, I would think predictable results become increasingly difficult. Any thanks for all the imput.

If you want to start between the rows of dots, in practice find your exact starting spot (forward/back) and use a pencil to mark it on a board. When league is over, use your erasere to remove the mark. -- JohnP

Or use a piece of tape to mark your exact starting point when you have no other "landmark" on the approach, and maybe another piece to mark your sliding foot's end position for reference. Some thin masking tape for painting (which I like to use to mark the PAP on my bowling balls in training and for videotaping) is also a good material for this occasion.
