I have been getting a lot of 7/10 splits. I have tried adjusting my angle of impact and even tried to add and take some revs off my throw. It’s been happening a lot more lately. What are some things I could look at when I look at a video of myself?

Could it be that the ball is rolling out with out much power as it enters the pocket?
Watch what the ball does after you hit the pins.
Good luck!

Ball looks good going to pocket. Power doesn’t look different than it had already.

I’m going to try a friends ball this week and see how it goes. Perhaps it is something to do with my ball I have been throwing

Instead of spending $200 for a new ball, why not try getting inside the second arrow so the ball doesn't lose power?

Agree with Rob try moving in to somewhere around board 12 to board 15 just inside
the oil line as that will help your ball to retain more energy and not burn up so fast.

I know when I get my ball outside too fast it will hit the pocket but it hits like a great
big ol marshmallow and it will leave me all kinds of stuff to shoot at.

Another possibility other than loosing power is your ball isn't slowing down enough, or you're missing your breakpoint these can cause you to leave back row pins also.

Try giving your ball a little surface so it reads the lane just a bit sooner.

I’ll try it out this weekend and see what happens. Got a new alley in town that is perfect to try it on.

When this happens to me it’s from “overthrowing”. Basically rather than adjusting to breakdown I try to cheat and fire it at the second arrow. Ball never gets a chance to start its roll really
