Hey...ABout this....WHY?
« on: January 11, 2006, 02:01:57 AM »
Saw this nice post regarding foot opening position from MoRich.

Inside Angels


Then I remembered this Coach's corner from MO!

Modern Head Position...from MOE!


Have actually been at seminars where Mo was telling this but didn't remember WHY it carries more 10 pins..tried it felt awkward.  It sounds like more revs....BUT WHY!
Can't find it in the literature.

Anyone here KNOW why...or any of Mo's staff see this???

Why does this work and what does it cause!

REgards,

i'm not a mo pert, but I would think that just by opening up can give you a better balance and leverage point at release.....

only thing I can think of.....

Mo had me do the head position thing today. He said that doing that along with moving the ball in the stance would loosen up my release and stop me from pulling it. (He said that I was sub-conciously grabbing the ball.)  It feels awkward, but it seemed to work but I'll definitely need to add more tape.

Per Mo:
"pointing your slide foot towards the target helps align the shoulders"
"the ball under your chin puts you in better vertical balance"

See Susie Minshew's article in the February 2005 issue of Bowling This Month.  She talks about getting the ball under your chin as well.

Please understand...I've got the foot opening thing down pretty good and love it.

Use it and make adjustments to it now based on backend!

My questions refer to the second link above!

Head over ball during the release while at the foul line!

From what I know about it, it's mainly balance. Heel in, toe out, right?!

In regards to the second link.  This position gets the ball being released directly under your chin which increases your leverage.  It also allows the arm to stay inside the shoulder.

Yes I do use it.  For me my revs didn't increase a great deal, but my ball speed did because it seemed to free up my armswing.
