The dots on the approach are markers to aid the bowler to find a consistant starting spot. These pictures show two different starting places. The picture on the left shows the bowler's right foot on the board that also has the centre dot. This centre dot is in a direct line with the centre arrow and the head pin. The picture on the right shows a starting position that is close to the original but not quite the same. The bowler has moved to her left one board and is now on the board next to the centre dot. Bowlers establish a 'home' starting position for a strike ball, a corner pin pick and for each 3-2 pin side. This builds consistency. A bowler with a very straight ball will stand very close to the centre dot. A bowler whose ball moves more on the lane will stand further away from the centre dot to adjust for the break (movement) of the ball.
