Hello, I have a question and anyone that could help me I'll apriciate it!!!
I bowl with right hand. I know as a theory that having arrows to aim at is very helpful, but when I look only on the arrows, my hand goes far away from my body and the ball goes on the left. But when I look on the arrow that I aim and on a dot just before the release, I manage to keep my hand close to my body at the moment of the release, but I cannot make the right projection between the arrows and the dots, especially when I have to adjust to the line conditions, so I loose the accuracy, wandering about aroows, dots and bords. And if I look only on the dots, I don't have any, any acuracy, again. This is a big dilema for me and I don't know what to do.
Thank you in advance for your responds!

Your arm swing path is probably not consistent. If you are holding the ball in front of your body, try to shift it more to the right, to be inline with your right shoulder. That way when you push the ball away, its already on the correct path. If the ball is centered too much in front of your body, now you have to swing it around your hips, then compansate for that at the release. That'll get you a arm swing path that wraps around your body and is inconsistent. This is a guess, but it could be some of the problem.
