Somewhere else I read that everyone was having trouble with the approach on the right lane.  But didn't he foul once on each side?

Same story here.  I fouled once, moved my approach back a foot.  Haven't fouled since.

I couldn't believe he never adjusted his footwork.  I, actually, thought he fouled a couple of other times that didn't get called.

He often has problems with it... he fouled earlier in the year on the 12th ball of a 300... threw a strike... whoops you fouled... 290...

good luck and high scoring

I don't understand how someone could have problems with fouling.  Back up 6 inches and it will never happen again.  I just don't get it.

Prehaps I shouldnt have said 'often'... occasionally... is still over-exagerating the problem.

Do you think he would rather foul once every couple of hundered shots and feel comfortable, or move back 6 inches and not be in his confort zone, and make him feel like he has to lunge at the line?????

And yes he fouled twice in the one game, but I'm sure hes not doing it twice a game. Maybe once a week on average. No big deal. Maybe in the off season he will work from a little further back, but I doubt he would want to change something with the 2 majors coming up.

If it were a big enough problem for him, he would fix it. So clearly its not.

good luck and high scoring
