Yes, a little to the left, so that you can slide back to the right which is virtually mandatory.
You have to walk a little left when playing inside to get the proper angle there is no way to get the angle without some movement to the left.Originally Posted by fortheloveofbowling

Isn't that accomplished, though, more by "stepping in front" with the push-off foot and then placing the slide foot in its usual place, more than actually walking left?

Yes! Love the graphic. Thanks, bowl1820!
Here's a graphic that could help:
walking parallel to the boards (indicated by the Blue line) with the shoulders open to the intended target (green line).

Above all though whether you drift 1 or 10 you have to do it consistently. It is so important to know where that ball is at your feet.
ok that should help.....never really thought of looking at laydown point...I use the crossover step but my problem is that I don't fill the hole on the last step...I slide straight rather than slightly to the right......
Wooooow!!!!!
I have soooo got some footwork work to do!!! I just realized that I walk as if I'm walking down the sidewalk. I don't cross over At. All. And I suppose the slide foot has to cross right on the slide in order to help you balance while you drop the ball forward? Plus, it helps facilitate the push-off foot coming behind on the delivery.
Is there a way I can save this chart somewhere on my computer, so I don't lose it, bowl1820?
