This is a very difficult thing to answer.
Have you talked to your son about his goals with his bowling?
Is it to go out and have fun with friends and family or is it more?
Where are you located?

Re: Timing Problem
70 year old bowler in this particular video. We worked a lot on his timing mechanisms. Notice how low he holds the ball in his stance, allowing him keep a calm body, maintain balance and relieved grip pressure. https://youtube.com/shorts/Q27exB9gFig?feature=share He is still 1 full step out of time...

Re: 14 lb Ball Pull
Might be a timing issue. Not necessarily a ball weight issue.
Older bowlers have slower feet and smaller swings.
Try getting the ball going a little earlier so you can move the feet a touch faster, see how that goes.
It sounds like early timing to me.

Re: Radical Bowling Technologies Results+ Spin Time & Full Review

Do you have any Data that compares Pre-drilled to Post drilled Spin times? Questions I have... How much and what direction does the B...

Re: Radical Bowling Technologies Results+ Spin Time & Full Review
MegaMav: Watched your Trailblazer video and again another good one. In choosing a ball how important is the spin time? Important as that is a reflection of the ball design's dynamic response to friction. If you know the spin time of various undrilled balls and you've throw them you can use the info...
