In the June 2013 Slowinski at-large, I discuss the importance of the upper body in bowling. The torso impacts the swing, footwork, the slide and finish as well as contributes to energy generation through foot speed and torso rotation. In other words, the upper body is more important than you think. Learn how in this month's Slowinski at-large.

In the March 2013 Slowinski at-large, I discuss ways to complete a more in-depth analysis with quantifiable measures. These include measuring lift inefficiency, swing start type and forward trunk angle, approach consistency (foot speed and step length) as well as the downswing angle. By quantifying these movements, we can more accurate illustrate the need for change as well as an objective measure of change.

In the February Slowinski at-large, I explore slide. In the article I share slide distances of professionals as well as argue for the benefit of a longer slide in the process of energy transfer. Finally, I provide the coefficient of friction values for most slide soles.

As an advocate of lateral spine tilt, I created an initiative simply entitled Drop Your Damn Shoulder (DYDS) in March 2012. Contrary to what many have been told, dropping your shoulder is an important asset to improve one’s bowling. When you drop your shoulder, you increase your lateral spine tilt which creates more space for the swing. When you increase the space for your swing, the ball swings more freely. Moreover, increased side bend leads to an improved hand position in the downswing that increases the potential for a stronger release and more ball motion. Finally, with more lean, the trail leg moves away from the body naturally increasing balance at the foul line. Dropping your shoulder is fundamental to great bowling.
