THE BOWLING TIP
BY MIKE LUNGO
This tip is for all bowlers regardless of age or level of play.
So very often today bowlers find themselves off balance at the foul line,
While there are many reasons for this, what you may not realize is that most bad finishes are a result of a bad start.
The tip: Check your first step and see if it's too long. This will cause you to push the ball away too far and then your feet will have to play "catch up" to keep you from falling down.
Try a smaller first step next time........is may help.
