Consistant slide from house to house.

Post by oneshot »

How do you keep your footing consistant from house to house ? I have a pair of SST8 so I can change the soles and heels. I have noticed I get a glaze & dirt build up on the heel starts to get slippery then I clean it and it sticks for a while. Also when you shot 10pins (RH) the approaches in the corners are always different. This is really hurting me any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a slight MCL tear. As all the top bowlers know you can't afford to make any bad shots let alone have trouble on approaches.

Post a video of you bowling, so we can see if it's related to technique, or if it is truly a shoe issue. I've had to grind the front of the heel for lots of bowlers to eliminate this problem many times.
