Don Carter's Secret Is Control

Don Carter's Secret Is Control
Here are the answers to a
few questions readers have sent
IN:
How long should the slide be?
Some bowlers, like Tony
Lindeman, don't slide at all.
But most of them do. The slide
should be anywhere from s
inches to 2 feet, depending
upon your own style.
Do all the stars spot bowl?
Not all of them do, but most
do I choose a spot out on
the right side of the lane as
we show in today's illustration.
It's just a few feet beyond the
foul line. but il hit that spot,
I know my ball will wind up in
that 1-3 pocket.
What are the secrets" of
the stars?
There might be many an
SWerS to that one, Don Carter
recently told me that control
is the single most important as
set for any bowler. Being able
to put the ball exactly WHERE
you want to WHEN you want
to under various conditions
must certainly be the single
most important secret of the
stars.
Should my thumb or fingers
come out of the ball first? Your
thumb, by all means. Your
fingers, being longer, will re-
main in the ball longer. They
will supply the finger lift at
release which causes the ball
to hook.
