Target Dots or Arrows?

Post by TrashHeap »

Is there any advantage to using one over the other?

Example: Young bowler. 14 years old uses the dots and feels comfortable with them. Should a coach insist that this bowler start using the arrows instead?

To me, the more important thing to consider is can he adjust properly based on what he is looking at? Does he a proper understanding of what his adjustments mean in the big picture of desired ball reaction?

Wes Malott targets around the dots and he does ok I guess.
