    Sukee,
    I am not sure what to tell you in that case. I play all of the right side of the lane. My normal line is standing around 15 and throwing 10. I never usually have to move past 20. maybe someone can help you with that. But was also thinking the move right at the end with your sliding foot might be because you are afraid to fall in the gutter? You seem to move it right at the end when you get to the line.

    Now that I can see your video, your slide foot is ok. When you swing the ball, as you're doing, it's good a practice to point your toe towards your target. And you're doing that. What you need to work on, is keeping that left leg down, left toes on the floor. This is for balance. Also your left arm needs to be out straight, again for balance. Where you want to get to, is completely balanced on just your slide foot, and be able to hold that position until the ball falls off of the deck. This will improve your accuracy, leverage at the line and also of course your balance. Try this and put another video up in a week or so after trying it.

    scotty,
    i have no clue why my foot does that.
    i did foul a couple times that night, so maybe subconsciously?
    i do notice that i slide a a couple boards right though.

    tampa,
    thank you for the pointers.
    i will definitely try to work on the arm and leg being straighter and to the floor.
    if i can get a video next week or the week after i'll post it up.
    i'll probably be throwing plenty gutters the first few games. haha.

    Good, look forward to seeing the new videos. Don't concern yourself about the gutters, just concentrate on getting the ball to you're target....forget the gutters are even there, just watch your spot.
