How to Create a Swing Slot in Bowling
In a 4-step approach, the first step is with the ball side foot and goes in line with the other foot as the ball moves forward to start the swing. In a 5-step approach, the first step is with the non-ball side foot and the ball is held with the first step. The ball moves forward with the second step as it goes in line with the other foot. This will create a slot for the swing so it stays close to the body. When the swing is close to the body, it creates maximum leverage for developing rotation on the ball.
