@xxIceWaLLxx Two of the guys I bowled with are short [5' 4"] and they say shorter people could get away with not having a knee bend. Look at Dave Ferraro! Look at Butch Soper! I am six feet tall in height but I also have bad case of arthritis in my left knee plus cartilage issues. I am also approaching 50.
That sucks about your knee man. Yeah I am 5'6'' and if I don't bend my knee on the approach I get a really bad look. So I kinda disagree with shorter ppl getting away with not bending their knee. Maybe its how your figure is. My arms aren't really long so I need to use my lower extremities more when I bowl.
@bigjew899 I don't know how it is for short people, but I need to bend my knees and I have very long arms.(I'm 6'1" BTW). In my case, I need to bend my knees because by doing that, I'm more balanced at the foul line. I broke my ankle 7 years ago and can't slide anymore as a result. If I stand completely straight from start to finish, I can't stay balanced because my ankle is(or was anyway) my slide foot. Bending my knees makes it easier for me to remain balanced.
That looks like anthony pepe tearing up the lanes to your right

Ah, they changed the name since I left NYC. I used to live a couple of blocks from the alley on 47th street. This was my home house.

I remember when they built Astoria Lanes. It used to be the Grand movie theater. I bowled there often with Dick Battista.

@masao1 RIP Dick Battista! This place used to be known as Laguardia Lanes, then it became Maric Lanes then they changed the name to Astoria Lanes.
