===A Wall===

However, walls can be very useful on the the approach side of the foul line.<br />
 
With apologies to Robert Frost from whom I borrowed the opening line from, the list begins.<br />
 
 
 
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"<br />

2) Richard Shockley "the finish"<br />

More uses of a wall to come ...
 
 
 
===Targeting devices===
 
 
 
'''Always get permission from the center authorities first.'''
 
 
 
'''1) Tape'''<br />
 
On the lane as targeting devices - connect the dots (a line) several feet apart, look and listen.<br />
 
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<br />
 
 
 
'''2) PVC Targeting tool'''<br />
 
You can buy them, but you can make them for a lot less, you can improvise adding features. This is variation of an old concept.
 
This forum post has suggested spec's and materials list<br />

===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'''<br />
 
A simple method for finding your PAP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fooIV5Tj7zc&list=UUlmJP7tuk3ztllCGi6Lq2YQ&index=26<br />
 
 
 
===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
