trying to get better

After taking the summer off to work I figured the new season would be a good chance to change my game.My Wed.nite leeague I decided to bowl with my old release and approach,this is a serious league and I didn't want to hurt my ave.My average has dropped from 175 to 163 in 4 weeks!
My Thurs.nite league I changed my approach to resting my weight on my right leg and pushing away as I transfer my weight from my right leg to my left,I read about this here in a post Mo had written giving advice to a bowler with timing issues such as mine,I was still using my old release(straight up the side of the ball,rev dominant) My ave. is 170 after 4 weeks
My Sunday nite league I have kept the new approach but use a release that is much more under the ball,I began trying to change my axis tilt and rotation last season but with my mechanics in memory it was hard to be consistant at it,my average after 4 weeks is a 186.
I have not checked any of my averages until now and was sure I was bowling poor in all 3 leagues but the league I actually have the hardest time with my release in(have a hard time remembering to not rev the crap out of it)is where I'm doing best.will take video Sat.after the youth bowl and check axis tilt,rotation,rev rate and speed.I did have to make surface adjustments to the ball I throw on Sunday due to the ball not rolling soon enough an bad pin deflection first week.Will post my new stats this weekend
