    ok well 1 thing i see you still do is when your about to throw the ball ether 1 handed or 2 handed but 2 handed is worse is that you are like forcing the ball forward witch is making you bobble your head around and witch if you do this too much you could actually really hurt you neck.

    2- i see when you get to the line before the ball has even came off your hand your body is low at the start then you just stand up really fast right as it is coming off your hand keep your body at 1 level threw the approach and throw and try to stay in the same position untill the ball hit the pins then move from that spot, because with standing up to early before the ball comes off your hand can created missed shots, bad throws. but it can also hurt your back at the same time.

    these are the 2 main things i see you doing wrong and once you fix these the rest will fix naturally.

    I have gotten a lot better on the head movement though!

    The standing up is an issue that I haven't spent up enough time on fixing, but I think that'll be my next project!

    You're going in the right direction. You know what you need to work on and have made improvements on what you have worked on thus far.

    I'm still going back and forth on my one handed verses my two handed.

    My scores are higher two handed (188-195 two handed compared to 180-185 one handed) but I'm always told that I have more potential one handed.

    What do you think?

    yes the head movement is better it dose not move as much but another thing that could also be making it move so much is the standing up at the end of the approach because it looks like you are standing up and your head is going up but you are making your head go back down type of thing if you understand what i mean.

    I'm not surprised. You look a lot more comfortable when you throw two-handed. Also, you look like you are muscling the ball when you throw it one-handed. Very jerky movement instead of just letting it flow.

    Yeah, my follow through is super jerky.

    Everyone keeps telling me that my one handed form is way better, and I need to stop doing both.

    It just gets really frustrating.

    Yeah! I can see how that would add to my problem, lol.

    Do you like my two handed form or my one handed form better?

    At this point, it looks like your one handed delivery is more violent than your two handed. It looks like your whipping the ball a lot. Two hands looks good. It looks more under control than the old delivery. Your not trying to over power the ball as much, and your not twisting yourself up as much. Now I'm coming from the perspective of a two hander, so I may be biased, but your two handed delivery definitely looks better than your one handed.
