Back and side footages for your critiques

Hi coaches! This is Eric from Purdue University.
I started bowling about three months ago. I weigh 130 pounds and my arm isn't strong enough. With a 10 lbs Columbus 300 scout, I average about 110-120. (my height is 5'10.9" in case you need it). I am taking a bowling class in the university and my instructor is Mr. Doug Wiedman. I bowl at least 5 days per week and around 10 games when I'm there. I know 10 lb ball is too light, I'm thinking of getting a 13 lb ball when my arm gets stronger. My wrist really hurts recently.
There are problems in my releases for sure since I don't get much revs or hooks. The cause may be my release position and gripping problem. Here are the back view footage and side view footage I recorded today.
Back:

I'm sorry the back view isn't close enough (I recorded this one myself). There are some other back footages in my channel.
Side:

I'm not sure if I still have gripping problem. I watched Norm Duke's tutorial video and he mentioned if you hang the ball down and you lift the index finger just a bit, the ball should fall. When I do that, the ball won't fall, it grabs on my fingers. I constantly have broken blood vessel under thumb nail.
Any help will be much appreciated!
