How to walk the approach

Walking the approach means finding the proper position between the preparation carpet and the platform, the perfect spot which will determine you’re walking towards throwing the ball.

The approach is something that cannot be defined in any other way when it comes to bowling. Dictionary definitions do not require geometrical views and consistency in focusing energy. After all, walking the approach is a complementary issue of aiming and throwing the ball. Approach is a complementary term for aiming your target!

Think about your approach before starting

In this respect, it is very important that after you take the ball in your hands and start bowing in order to arrange your equilibrium and put it on the foot you want, you have to look just below the ball to see how the platform can be visualized.

If the visualization is complete and it is according to the center of the platform, which means that your aim is good. If your visualization is rather to a side or to the other, which means that you will have to aim again. Of course, you should practice aiming lots of times and from a lot of distances until you finally find the best point of aiming.

You could also try aiming from various distances from the platform! Some players say that the best position is 5 or 10 feet from the platform while others are supportive for the 15 feet position. Aim is a factor that also depends on each player’s dexterity and ability of visualizing around. It is not an established rule and you will not find one anywhere.

When aiming, as I was saying before, people choose different distance. Most of them opt for the established number of steps, which is four, but this is not a must, it is not a rule. Walking the approach is the time when you will be able to rapidly concentrate all your energy from one foot to another and to perform balance in the most appropriate way possible.

After all, balancing is a very important part of walking the approach. While making these four steps, you will have to be able to keep the hand, focus, aim, concentrate and, the most important thing, balance. This is the most important time when playing bowling, the time which you will not be able to turn back anymore.

It is the time when you will have to do everything perfect in order to develop a good estate of equilibrium and maximum concentration! While making those four or five steps, you will have leave to smoothly linger your legs one near the other in order not to consume your energy before strengthening up for throwing the ball!

Taking everything into account, it can be said that walking the approach in bowling is the result of lots of practice. The more you exercise, the more able you will be to score and make your team classify on the first place of the championship! It is a challenge you will have to take!
