Re: Layout For Someone Who Lofts The Ball Almost To The Arrows

Stop squeezing it or refit the bowler to get the ball of their hand faster.
I dont think this is a layout issue.
Very unlikely this person replicates their shots well.
10-15* of tilt is quite the variance, how was this measured?

Re: Track Hitting Thumb

This is likely from getting out of the ball too late or staying in the ball too long before you release it.
It's difficult to say without seeing video.

Re: What is more important

Both are important to the dynamic of the bowler's release.
It is a dynamic ball reaction. Lower angle ratios are probably better.
2:1 at most.

Re: Bruising at thumb

Try to relax your swing and not pull down from the apex.

Re: Bruising on thumb

Probably pulling down on the ball and clipping the edge of the thumb on the way out from squeezing to hang on.

Re: Ball cleaner

I think Neo-tac Hook-IT is the best out there.
I've tested many brands.

Re: Strange House League Conditions

I'm not sure what the issue is. It could be topographical and your ball is not making it back up the hill. If you're not getting any help from a certain part of the lane, you'll need to find something elsewhere. I cant offer too much help without actually seeing what is going on. I'm of the school w...

Re: New to this. Call out everything, please!

Try dipping your right shoulder down until your head is over the ball.
Hinge the ball straight down, dont let the elbow get in front of your hip and try to get the ball on top of your ball side foot when the foot compresses on the first step.

You are speed dominant
Crypto 40 x 4.25 x 40 @ 800 Abralon/Siaair for short, remember to play close to the gutter.
House shots, think about the Katana Assault 50 x 3

Re: Axis Tilt/ Fit Help

I looked at the videos, your swing looks a bit controlled, a little slower than gravity, possibly some grip pressure. Your game looks pretty good. I wouldnt guess 30* of tilt based on the vertical inclination of the axis of rotation, I'd guess somewhere closer to 20. The track diameter measurement d...

Re: Axis Tilt/ Fit Help

If you lengthened the span the ball stays on your hand longer, so the effect should be the opposite, your tilt should go down. Just a guess, I believe you have a lot of force in your downswing. Need to loosen up the swing and relax. This may mean relaxing your fit more over time, since it will be un...

Re: Been a while

No need for youtube tags anymore, the youtube url's automatically embed now. I edited your post. My opinion is you dont have enough lateral spine tilt to get your head over the ball more and get the hip out of the way in the stance. This causes you to start to get the ball outside of your body too m...
