Bowling/Drifting on the approach

Question
I have a problem of drifting towards my mark on the lane. What are some drills I can do during practice that will help prevent this?  

Answer
The first thing to take a look at is how far from your starting point in the intended target.  If you are right handed, and your target is too far right of your starting point on the approach, you will have to walk to the right in order to get near your target.  

As far as a drill goes, place a piece of white tape near the foul line try to walk towards that.

Good luck,
Chip
