8 www.bowlingworld.com - June 2019 How Are Your Stance and Starting Positions? Did someone tell you to place the ball to one side of your body to avoid hitting your leg in the push-away and delivery? Probably I did, but I also said to place the ball in your stance position comforta- bly to your bowling side. If you ever took that cockeyed stance of standing with your ball completely on your bowling side so that your shoulders are up near your earlobes—and bowlers do it all the time—you would be in trouble all the way to the foul line. Putting all these faults together will throw you off balance at the delivery point and cause a very bad release of the ball. The problem with this ―cockeyed‖ stance is that your hips, shoulders, arms and the ball are not square to the target. And you are not comfortable. Keep your hips and shoulders square to the target in your stance position and face the direction of the ball line. If you push the ball out at an angle, putting extreme weight away from your body, you will be off balance. Square your body to the target and hold the ball slightly to your bowling arm side, comfortably; then push the ball straight forward into a well- balanced pendulum swing. If you shove the ball out at a right angle, the arm swing will almost always be be- hind your body and your hips and shoulders will be pivoted or twisted. You can guess what happens at the release point. Because the ball, shoulders and hips are twisted, you will be in the exact opposite position when delivering the ball. Your right shoulder will be completely in front of your body and your left shoulder will be behind your body. This is all wrong. Keep your hips and shoulders square to the target at all time. You will have more control of your ball and better direction Private Bowling Lanes - Your Home?
