    it involves video taping a shot(usually your strike shot) and putting a piece of tape between the ring finger hole and about 4 inches diagonally or(To your pap) and counting the amount of times the tape performs a full revolution to the pins and how many seconds it takes to hit the pins.

    some coaches will calculate it for you if you ask them
