Re: Mo, help please:Conventional for a rapid growing 9 yr ol

I wouldn't put her on fingertips until she's about 14-15, meanwhile I would like her to try what Mo did for his son on her next ball: Mo wrote: "I'm a traditionalist when it comes to this. Because of the lack of maturity of kid's growth joints, I stay with conventional for a long time. I didn't...

Re: Mo, help please:Conventional for a rapid growing 9 yr ol

Mo, glad to have you back and happy to hear business is good. My girl just won 1st overall in the PR Catholic School Tournament, her game is developing steadily and she is already swinging the 9 pound ball a bit too hard, might need to buy a 10 lbs ball soon so I am bumping this thread. I want to dr...

Re: How to open up finger holes (no inserts)

Ok, I'm not a pro shop guy, just a regular bowler but I have seen it done many times on my balls. First, your fingers are most likely not round so the finger holes must be ovaled... Step 1. wet the tip of a grease pencil and mark both sides of the fingertip knuckle on each finger. Step 2. insert fin...

Re: Anatomical Drilling Technique the Tri-grip killer?

Ok I am a bit confused here. I ordered the PDF as I am currently experimenting with different grips and have been wondering what an "off set" thumb and left thumb pitch would feel like. According to the Wiki, I always end up with forward finger linears. How do I figure out how much reverse...

Re: Where to start wiki fit?

Step 1 find span measuring at a line exactly in the middle between the creases, preferably using the innovative fitting ball. Step 2 adjust for each finger flexibility Step 3 with the resulting spans of step 2 use the thumb chart In my case I used the smallest of the 2 spans: MF 3 7/8" That's h...

Re: Performance fit please

Thank you James, yes my spans are relaxed-I followed the instructions on the Wiki fit. I noticed you added 3/8" Reverse to MF but only added 1/4" Forward to RF. Is this because I already have 5/16" Forward in the RF and adding 3/8" more would be too much? When I began to consider...

Re: Performance fit please

ads, I know 20* AT is not that bad and is manegable with layout and ball choice but since I am still at the stage of developing and choosing a release and want to take advantage of that and reduce my axis tilt a bit while I'm at it. Believe me I have practiced and practiced and practiced and have a ...

Hello river800 hope you are doing well.

Performance fit please

Ok guys, I have been thinking about it for a while and decided that I am finally going to try a performance fit. Still working on my release and no matter what I do I always end up with 20* axis tilt. If I release off the side of my hand my track is med/low AT is 20* If I try the "modern releas...

Re: Position of trailing leg

I beleive that the actual degree varies from player to player and that whatever degree makes one feel more consistently balanced while posting the shot is the correct one. I have looked closely at PBA pros on TV and the ones that sometimes end with the leg on the floor and sometimes on the air throw...

Re: PAP and axis tilt

Apparently no and I will explain. I recorded my PAP twice last month. First time was with a basic 45* release, no rotation, just keeping the wrist in the same position from address to release. This came out to be: 4" x 1/2" down, 20* axis tilt and a medium/low track... I am currently worki...

Listen to river800, he knows what he is talking about... For those who truly want to understand the dual angle method, I recommend listening (several times as needed) to the "Ball Drilling for Dummies" 5 part series in above180 podcast: http://above180.com/category/ball-drilling-for-dummie...

Re: Should I performance fit to add roll?

Oh yea, Equipment, lanes, technique... everything has changed, it's like learning again from scratch. The sport has become very technical in what ball choice and pairing it with the lane conditions, your release, where you want to play and the ball motion you want... many variables... Luckily I am k...

Hello, did mine recently with Mo's help on this forum so I will try and help you with it, most comfortable grip i have ever had.
