Your body position is an important part of setting yourself up for a successful bowl.
Ideally, you want your body, feet and shoulders aligned with the line you want to bowl.
Even if your action does not allow for this then it is still important.
If you are too far off alignment then the consequence will be
• Forehand – your bowling action is likely to take your arm away from your body
• Backhand – your bowling action will take your arm a long way across your body. Both of these are significant barriers to control and consistency.
That is not to say you cannot bowl well at times but that by doing so you are making it more difficult to do so.
Top Tip : When playing on a different rink, if the line is different then adjust your body position. This allows you to hit that line without changing your action and benefit from the muscle memory you have already developed.
