How to "project the ball down lane?"

release later?

release later?

Seems reasonable. but wouldn't that affect timing?

When you release IS timing. This is really not something that you want to mess with.

I've been playing around with looking at the reflection of the pins with mixed results. It does seem to help me project the ball down lane, but I'm having a harder time hitting my mark. May just take more practice to get it just right. I started by throwing my normal shot at the arrows and looked at where the ball is in relation to the reflection. Then look at that spot and try to throw it there. When I hit it just right it's perfect, but I'm only hitting the mark maybe 2 out of 3.

Apart from where you target, look at your momentum and your spine tilt. Traditionally we were taught to finish high and keep our backs straight so that we could "lift" the ball. Today, the armswing doesn't go up, it goes out toward your intended line. With spine tile and an armswing that continues out toward your intended line, you WILL project the ball, regardless of where you target.
