Just a thought

Someone should build a home practice ball. Moveable 3Dgrips, interchangable weights and digital feedback. Stressing the perfect grip for each person and pendulum swing. I'd buy one.

There's an article in this month's Bowlers Journal about the high tech feedback systems that are being used now. Glasses that can tell exactly what the eye is looking at, foot sensors that measure timing and drift, body sensors that can tell if everything is lined up properly. It's amazing what they can do. They can even program all this stuff to give you feedback during the approach. For instance if you are working on a straight arm swing the machines can be set to give a tone when the arm is in the right position or a different tone if you are out of position. The only problem is unless you are on the USA bowling team, or in a well funded college program, or can afford the time and money to go somewhere like the Kegel Training center you'll probably never get to take advantage of it. It would be nice to play with though

USBC and Kegel are using them with Jason Belmonte to establish coaching guidelines for 2-handers. As much as I get a bad vibe from Belmo I think it's great that he is willing to share all he knows about his style to help others.
