Type of folow through..

I checked today during my practice. Played from gutter to gutter and my swing was straight each time going towards my target. All that changed was my hand and/or wrist position.

Did you try putting a little pressure on the ball with your index finger to see how it felt and if there was any difference? Just wondering and what the results might have been. Also waiting for ball99999 to see if he tried it and his reaction.

I guess I'm not too sure what you mean by pressure with the index finger since I already usually place some to help keep the wrist straight.

Now when I practice with my hand, the difference between these hand positions seem very small, do they really make a big difference?

[billf]

Yes, they make a big difference. They are small but so is the circumference of the ball. It's this fact that causes so many people to come over the top of the ball and stuff.

@Bob, I've been using that release as one of the ones I use since I heard that interview. It's too much at my home center for some lines so I don't use it all the time.

Hmm rethinking this

notice the clock and them placing the follow through at 1?

Ok now that I think it through more I really feel like when he says follow the thumb out to 12 or 1 it means in the follow through.

All I heard was the commercial lol
Fred Borden is one of the greatest coaches ever but you have to listen carefully to what he's saying. There have been times I swore what he said and what they showed didn't match.

Fred Borden also does mybowlingcoach.com with Jeri Edwards, Ron Hatfield and Andy Parker. They are all wonderful to work with in person too.
