Practicing balance - how important is it anyway?

[The German Shepherd]

I have come to the decision that the major part of my bowling woes of late have been due to horrible balance. I have been stepping out of nearly all of my shots. That being the case I went to practice today determined to work on "posting up" on my throws. The lanes were bone dry but that didn't matter. I was looking for repetition and balance. I threw 4 games that went like so in order - 185, 198, 212 and 235.

The better my balance became, the fewer sleepy 10s I left. Better balance means better roll???

So it would seem. I also have noticed that the better my balance at the line the better my carry. Of course my delivery had to become smoother before I could keep properly balanced. Kind of all goes hand in hand.
