    After reading this thread you guys started making me more contiguous about me drifting. I checked last night and I am drifting 5 boards to the right!

    So I adjusted by keeping my body straighter and I did better!

    Drifting isn't necessarily a bad thing. What's bad is drifting a different number of boards on each shot. If your foot drifts one board more than normal, the ball will cross the foul line one board over and if its on target at the arrows it will be three boards off at the pins!

    Very simple answer to your question......you're throwing more strikes....."If it ain't broken, Don't fix it !"

    Relax dude. You didn't post a video on your release nor did you specify anything different in your original posts stating otherwise other than, you made move and threw a strike. Maybe if you were more detailed info with your FORM, people in this FORUM would help you even more.
