I really tried a lot of things tonight but I kept getting end over end roll.

I noticed a guy a couple lanes away, great form, looked like Mika and his ball had this perfect side roll where the ball was going down the lane but, if you had a top down view, was rolling from around 4:30 to 10:30. Looked great.

Looks like a basic 45 Degree roll.

Take a look here at Ron Cliftons tips about the release.
