I just bought my girlfriend a 13lbs DV8 misfit pink and yellow for our 2nd year anniversary. this is her first ball, and its drilled fingertip. the first day she used it her thumb bruised up on top of the finger nail area because shes used to gripping the ball like the house balls. good thing i have a coupon that if i buy a new ball from the pro shop that gives a 30min coaching lesson. so after three days of rest, we went back to the alley and had her lessons done. now shes doing okay and averaging about 100-120. enough with the talk, here are pic and vid

Her timing is off, try to get her to consciously wait for the ball to drop into the down swing before taking off for the second step.

Nice. I'm am actually debating on one of these or a cyclone for my wife's birthday coming up in a couple weeks. I'm most likely gonna go for the misfit I think.

Nice!

My Wife's tropical breeze is waiting for her in the proshop right now (and my Modern Marvel :D)

Heres is an old video of her, she needs to learn a hook from someone as she don't listen to me.

Nice Choice in ball!

Yea lol, it would help if she practiced bending her knee's more and getting lower on the release, other than slight timing issues she is doing great for being so new to that kind of grip.

She did very well for just switching to a finger tip grip. The major issue, other than her timing which will come with practice, is that her arm is too far away from her body. This will prevent her from getting proper axis tilt and ball roll. Work on timing, and keeping the ball as close to the body as possible without hitting herself, and she will be scoring better in no time.

Your wife needs to hold her elbow next to her side(elbow just above belt/waist),then as she takes 1st step have her push ball straight out and keep her arm close to her side and knees a little more bent.

That's one nice looking ball. Now you need to go to some midnight madness bowling and check that thing out under black light. :D

of course, in order take your revenge you need to get close to your target without it seeing you coming

Good choice. That ball looks good going down the lane. You already have a couple of things for her to work on. Just remember to make sure it's fun.

Lucky man. Trying to get my wife into it but she bowls with a "claw" grip using her index and middle finger. She is also not a big fan of "constructive criticism" especially from me :D

When they say "I do" what they mean;
1. I do promise to spend as much money as possible on stuff we don't really need.
2. I do promise give my husband a hard time no matter how right he may actually be.
3. I do promise to start nagging and increase it with age.
4. I do promise to make him wonder at least twice a day about why the hell he asked me to marry him.

There's a name for wives like these: Ex. I have one of those too. My current lady is a vast improvement over the previous model LOL...
