Point of Origin

As in the selection of the ball, the beginner should experiment and select a stance which is most comfortable and natural. The first objective is to find your point of origin, or where to stand on the approach before starting to move towards the foul line. Walk to the foul line, then turn round 180 degrees. Place your heals approximately 2 inches from the foul line. For a four step bowler take four and a half brisk walking steps forward. Then look down at the dots or the ball return to see where your toes are placed. Turn and face the pins you should be at approximately your point of origin. Take several practice approaches and use common sense to adjust your point of origin if need be.

Foe right handed bowlers, the point of origin should be to the right of the center dot. The right shoulder should line up directly above the board where the second dot right of center is in line with the second arrow on the lane, which is the common strike target. Bowlers should begin by using the second arrow on the right as the strike target as a guide to the 1-3 pocket.
