Proper sliding technique is crucial in bowling to ensure that you have a smooth and accurate delivery. There are a few adjustments you can make to your sliding technique to improve your accuracy and power:

  • Adjust your slide step: When you're in your starting position, make sure your slide foot is about six inches behind your push-off foot. This will help you build momentum as you move forward. As you slide, keep your weight on your push-off foot, and extend your slide leg as far as possible.
  • Work on your balance: Good balance is key to a solid sliding technique. Make sure your shoulders are level, and keep your head and eyes focused on your target throughout your delivery. Also, try to avoid leaning or tilting to one side during your approach, as this can throw off your balance and affect your accuracy.
  • Find the right sliding shoe: Make sure you have a sliding shoe that fits comfortably and provides the right amount of slipperiness on the sole. This will help you maintain a smooth and controlled slide.
  • Practice, practice, practice: Improving your sliding technique takes time and practice. Try different approaches and focus on the adjustments that work best for you. With patience and persistence, you can develop a consistent and effective sliding technique that will help you deliver the ball with power and accuracy.
