I am confused. Are you saying that we should never angle our bodies to the foul line, since this will likely cause our target line to be inaccurate?

[@KegelTrainingCenter]

Not exactly. You want to have some angle based upon the intended line of play, but the visual illusion of the lane will often cause bowlers to overexaggerate the angle more than they need to. You want some angle, but not too much which causes the misalignment.

Thank you for the reply. For lining up for the 10 pin spare (right handed, aiming at the middle arrow with a spare ball), about how much body angle would you suggest?

when i am bowling the lane looks to be about 6 feet wide, but when i am walking the gutters or conditioning the lane, it looks much closer to the 40 inches and less.

Perspective can definitely have a major influence on our perception.
