Question
I use a four step delivery.I am always late at the foul line in my delivery.I always seem to be short on my delivery.

Answer
Sorry for the delay.....was out of town for the weekend for a tournament in Detroit.

In a four step delivery, most people will start their swing too late.  This causes the bowler to get to the foul line before the ball and will affect leverage and release as well as direction and consistency.  Try starting the ball before you start  your foot.  Make sure you dont increase your foot speed.  Just relax and walk by the ball.

Good luck,
Chip
