This drill saved me years ago when I was about to quit the sport. I was so bad and couldn't figure out the release. The men's coach suggested this to me without our coach knowing (she got mad when he would try to help us girls). It took quite a while but I finally learned where, how and when to do what with my hand. Really helped and highly suggested even to just keep that release.
very nice drill
Good drill to practice, especially when you feel your not throwing it right. Just do this about 25 times and you'll start to get the feel back
Thanks bowl1820 for posting the football drill video! I'm going to practice this drill over the weekend; going bowling on Sunday

It appears the USBC coaching staff is going away from the football drill because it promotes rotating the thumb counter clockwise past 12.
The motion is fine as long as you realize that the rotation takes place after the thumb is out of the ball.
Yes they talk about that on the USBC Advanced Bowling Techniques DVD . They have a new drill the softball drill, which looks pretty good.Originally Posted by Mike White
