Raising my track
When I used to bowl, before a 13 year layoff, I had a pretty high track, just outside the fingers and thumb. Now it is much lower, about 2 inches below the finger and thumb. What do I need to change to bring my track up closer to the finger and thumb? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.

A track diameter of 11" is close to optimal and will allow for the most versatility.
High tracks have a tendency to flare over the fingers when the pin in placed lower.
Roll with it, its obviously natural to you.

Re: Raising my track
What Mega said plus also, position of the track may not be as important as your axis tilt.
