Fingertip Bowling Technique Article

Sticky approaches have been a problem for many years before I knew how to bowl. Not long ago I had an experience that changed the way I deal with approaches. I was bowling one night when all of a sudden I stuck while delivering the ball on my final step. I took a header over the foul line and injured my knee in the process. A fellow bowler gave me some talcum powder to help me slide better but this only worked for a few times. Note that bowling establishments frown on using talcum because it could cause a bowler to slide too much unexpectedly. Of course now I'm a bit tentative wondering if I'm going to slide when I make my approach.
