Practice Devices and Props
A Wall
Something there is that doesn't love a wall ...
However, walls can be very useful on the the approach side of the foul line.
With apologies to Robert Frost from whom I borrowed the opening line from, the list begins.
Most of you know about walls on the lanes but are you aware of the many uses of a wall as a bowlers aid? There are more than the initial two that follow.
1) Look at post#4 by Jim Merrell regarding "the ball placement step"

2) Richard Shockley "the finish"

More uses of a wall to come ...
Targeting devices
Always get permission from the center authorities first.
1) Tape
On the lane as targeting devices - connect the dots (a line) several feet apart, look and listen.
On the lane side by side (a corridor) separated by a few boards, object roll the ball between the pieces of tape,use two sets several feet apart
2) PVC Targeting tool
You can buy them, but you can make them for a lot less, you can improvise adding features.
Here a few links with examples and specifications submitted by forum members.

Motion Monitoring Aid
1) A piece of tape on your PAP during practice sessions can help you see what your ball is doing and when its doing it
A simple method for finding your PAP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fooIV5Tj7zc&list=UUlmJP7tuk3ztllCGi6Lq2YQ&index=26
First Step First Aid
A plastic drinking straw can be taped to the approach in the spot you want your first step to go. This was demonstrated in a USBC video
