    Default Pro slide straight to mfoul line but shots go right......

    After looking at the pro video called Analysis of Modern 10-pin Bowling Swing and Release on YOUTUBE I noticed something about their slide and release. They can slide straight to the foul line on the left side of the alley but their shot goes right to cross the third, fourth or fifth arrow from the left. As I watched their swing closely going from backswing to the forward swing their ball side arm seems to loop to the inside of their body passing close to their side and hip and then close to their sliding ankle which makes their swing go from inside to slightly outside to make the ball go right instead of straight ahead. I guess that this is because when they setup their ball side shoulder is preset to the open position being slightly behind their non-ball shoulder. So even though they are walking straight when they slide to the foul line the shot goes right. It seems like crankers have the ability to walk left while playing deep and make the ball go to the breakpoint by the right gutter. I think if I tried that I would have a disc slip in my spine. So to have this ability to play the left side of the alley and make your shot go right to a breakpoint you have to have your swing pass close to your sliding ankle. If it is a foot or farther away from your ankle as you slide you will be hard pressed to make your shot go right to pass over your arrow target.

    Maybe this is why a lot of bowlers miss the target arrow they want to throw over. It is probably a combination of a muscled swing and the release not happening close to the sliding ankle. Plus you can throw in a bowler not letting the slide go to the center of their body. I know this will happen to me sometimes where my sliding foot slides straight instead of to the center of my body. To make sure it happens when you take your slide step make it go in front of your power step foot and then push into your slide. It is just something you have to make a habit. When your slide step is in the center of your body chances are you will be better balanced and not fall off of your shot. THE END.
