Slide or no Slide

[Jarhead88]

I notice that I don't really slide much at all when I throw.... I have a 5 step throw and kind of walk slowly so I don't throw it too hard.
I video'd myself and notice that I don't really slide at all.

Is this bad?

thanks

Not at all. You don't need to slide 3 feet when releasing the ball to be successful. Not sliding at all but planting and throwing the ball can be rather hard on old knees through.

If you don't walk very fast, you're not going to slide very much, so without seing you bowl I would guess this isn't bad for you.
