Just got done watching the video. I will try the line change and release changes tonight. I will also try and keep my accuracy.
Wish me luck

The line changes stated in the video, are typical line changes. Release changes will require placing your thumb in the ballOriginally Posted by unclemantis
Good luck though.

Great video. This is a video that everyone on this site should watch. This explains many things that we often get questions on. Thanks for finding it.

Way to go, consistency in this game is very important. How'd you do on your spare shots and what was your striking pattern like ? Did you leave any splits or 4 pins ?

Strike percentage 44%
Splits: 4-7-10 and 2-4-10. I didn't pick up any of those.
I did not leave the 4 pin single but I did leave the following that contained a 4 pin: 1-2-4, 2-4-5, 1-2-4-8, 4-7-10, 2-4-10

So, it looks like you were getting the ball to the pocket pretty well. That's very important. The biggest concern I always tell people is to be sure you see the ball rollover your target. If you don't know "EXACTLY" where your ball is hitting the target, any move you make on the approach may not work. Accuracy in this game is extremely important. It enables you to make very fine adjustments to your game. Sounds like you're doing a good job there, good luck.

I have not video taped myself for a couple of weeks. My delivery has changed a bit since my finger holes have buffed out a bit since I told my proshop guy they where hurting. Also my speed has increased 1 to 2 MPH and I am doing a few new things that are GOOD. Like walking a straight line and getting the ball under my head, etc...
My spare pickups are getting better though
Next time I will publish a full game of my practice, I will bring the tripod and place it behind me at head level instead of on the table at that funny angle you have seen on youtube.
