In bowling what's the minimum length of the approach?

Answer 1

The minimum could be two to three steps. Depending on how big of a step you take, it could be two or three steps. I take five steps because I have small feet and I take small steps to take my approach. Most people take four steps because they think it is easier. Whatever is best for you.

Answer 2

It depends on the experience of the bowler and how they learn. As a Dick Ritger certified coach, we promote a 4 step approach where you start with the foot that is on the same hand you bowl with.

Answer 3

An approach must be 15 feet from the foul line back. There may be a 1/4 inch allowance.
