Finger Positions? What do they do?

Believe it or not, I figured out changing finger positions gave the ball a different reaction on my own. I used to have both fingers spread out for stability, but then one day I thought to myself that the pinky being out like that might keep the ball from turning over as much, so I held it in close to the other fingers. The result was a ball with a tad more turn, so from then on I began bowling with that position. I did the opposite for spare shots so I could keep my shot as straight as possible. I did try folding the pinky under one time, but that hurt a lot so I decided it wasn't worth it.

if you curl the pinky for more then once and try it like several practice sessions and then make your decision if it hurts to bad to do or not cause it suppose to be painful the first couple of tries and then gets better but some people can't do it but rare the article said or sounded like so you should try it again a couple more tries and if still hurts stop doing it.

I think the only reason to try it would be if that extra bit was really necessary. I don't find it to be because I usually play from the right side, and if anything, will have trouble keeping the ball there because of regularly dry lanes. Back when I did try it I bowled at a different center that had a completely different shot and required me to play a little more inside hook.

I just need a way to get that 10 pin gone every time I throw my strike ball I leave the 10 pin or the 7 pin or the 7-8 or 9-10 so my coach known now as Wolf Women Stacy says power comes form the legs and not how hard you can throw the ball so I will learn that Monday and get to try it out then and timing and form and stance and balance and how to slide I am going to purchase a slider so I can slide cause no matter how I try my shoes just don't slide so I am going to buy a slider easier then dealing with powder and easy slide and and a brush so I am excited to learn everything I can.
