Targeting , what method do you use ?

[SAbowler]

I use the arrows as my target point. I may try to change that though, as it seems that I am left eye dominant. I've read an article by Coach Slowinski that talks about moving the target further down lane for left eye dominant players for a more consistent shot. I've tried it a couple of times while league bowling with poor results, but it would be better if I did it while practicing to get a better feel of it. Of course, that means actually making time for practice.

Bowled in Friday morning league and had a couple of 200 + games and a couple of 160/170 games (sigh) as usual.
As I was walking out the GM of the bowling center stopped me and said hey you were throwing some great shots when I was down there, how did you do ?
We got talking about targeting and he said he uses the arrows on the close side out of habit because that's the way he learned years ago but he also uses the pin reflections and his exit point target and really likes how that works for him. He has been a 220 avg bowler for years, so I took this as another good sign that using this type of targeting could lead to the improvement I'm looking for.
I had taken one of my little used balls (dive divine) of late out to throw a few practice games and using the pin reflections threw some pretty nice shots, enough in fact that I brought that ball to Fri league and ended up putting away the Hy road and shooting the last couple of good games with the Diva.

I use the arrows as my main target point and also watch where the ball pass's bh the down lane markkers.

Wow this was an excellent article. I always struggled trying to understand 3 point targeting and this helped a lot.
