Question
Chip,
To your question earlier:  Most of the high average bowlers are throwing deeper, 20/18 out to 12/10.  Last night I ran into the same accuracy problem, over/under.  Could you describe the correct positions of the feet, shoulders to the line 13/9?  Would you suggest a spot or location on the lane to spot up on rather than the arrow region?  Thank you for your time.


Answer
I can really answer that without seeing you bowl.  The direction of your approach and the angle of your shoulders would come into play on this.

Your ball roll and axis tilt may not match up the the area you are wanting to play.

If you are using a pearlized ball, your over under will be exagerated.  Try using a ball with an 800 wet sand finish.

Good luck,
Chip
