The power game today almost requires planting your foot for leverage, however at my age my knee can't take the pounding. There is a tremendous amount of pressure put on your knee and hip when coming to sudden stop rather than sliding to a stop.
I slide a little bit.

INFO:Avg. N/A Righty,Stroker,Equipment Roto Grip,Brunswick,Ebonite 15lbs.
I learned to plant because of horrendous approaches. Never consistent and usually tackey. I can bowl in tennis shoes, but appease the bowling center and wear bowling shoes. Works fine for me...210 avg. Now, if I ever wanted to be a 230 avg bowler I could spend a solid year or 5 breaking my entire game down from scratch, including longer strides and a slide at the end of my approach, but hell, I'd be pushing 40 and probably ruin the fun of the game before I ever surpassed my current avg.

I learned if I slow my walk and everything else that goes with it, I don't slide hardly at all..
I got the ss8's too with max slide soles aswell.

What I always say "LUCK IS EARNED"
I have been a "stroker" since I was able to slide...
How or what does it feel like?
DO you approach slower than normal?
Or do you go full force...? My anxiety is that I will fall abruptly and break my jaw??
How do I complete the change?? I want to throw 450 rpms with a 16 mph + ball...
Please help?

I have been taught by my coach to have the ball and ankle (left ankle as I am right handed bowler) be parallel to each other on my last step (four step approach I use) and find I slide naturally.
