    One adjustment I learned last night was to simply point my toes further right to open up my hips and shoulders. Then walk the same line, rolling throgh the same mark. Another adjustment option. I had heard this before, but did not understand what it meant. Now I know. I guess I was not ready for the adjustment before.

    Live and learn.
    I live by three simples rules:

    1. Don't ever ask about my business
    2. Never discuss business at the table
    3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family

    How come nobody ever told me that?

    Someone probably did, but it got lost in the noise of figuring out the mechanics.

    I'm sorry. I thought I had that in the PM I sent talking about the torso rotation. That was also in an old issue of USBowler for spare shooting corner pins by Kim Terrel-Kearney. It works great for me on 10 pins. Odd how the body will want to go back to the starting angle once you reach the line.

    Wow, I just had an "aha" moment. No one ever told me this either. I kept struggling with how to walk my line and hit my target when they are far apart.

    I think it's natural to point towards your mark, never heard it explicitly said before. Good material.
