Shoulder Alignment and Approach

[hoobowler]

Hoping someone can help me with these questions?

Where should your shoulders be aligned in your stance and at release?  Are they always perpendicular to the line to your target?  Parallel to the foul line? Somewhere in between?

Second when on your approach, should your steps be parallel to your target (meaning where you end up sliding may be a couple boards inside of where you started if you're throwing an inside out or cross lane at the 10 pin)? or perpendicular ot the foul line (meaning, you slide at the board you started even when throwing inside out or cross lane)?

Does it matter whether you're throwing a strike or a straight spare?

Thanks in advance for the help

95% of the time, yes.
If you're playing an extreme inside line (6th or 7th arrow deep), you may need to open the shoulder during the approach, though.
