I can't win

Nice catch, I did not notice that. I do wipe the ball often, but maybe not often enough. I guess I was in a zone and wasn't thinking about that.

ok the style i seen you throwing was a tweener but u did not have that much acuracy u where throwing it all over the place and the ball was coming back in but when you threw it out farthere u put more rev on it cause i seen u wanted to make it go down the lane on the same line. but im thinking u had a nice 2 handed spare shot that u should try doing 2 handed for awhile because your 2 handed shot had good acuracy to hit that 10pin.


but in everything else was good balance was good it was jsut u where changing your speed in your shot and revs witch takes time to get under controll i have been doing my shot for awhile and im still working on mine i got my speed o the ball down but the revs not yet and my release is another problem for me im doing different releases msot of the time but out of 1 game i got about half of it with the rev that i want, it just takes time to get the hang of it and get the accuracy down perfectly.

I didn't watch the last minute. I got tired of waiting for it to buffer lol. Biggest thing I noticed; in your stance, your feet are backwards. Your right foot is ahead of your left instead of vice-versa. Not sure how much of a difference it really makes although I was taught that it causes the body to be too closed up (or too square to the foul line).
I was real glad to hear that I'm not the only one to prop the camera/phone up with their sneakers lol.

Yes, the second shot on that video I got way too wide. I even said to myself after that shot "thank god for house patterns." The 4tha shot also got a touch wider than i aimed, probably the reason for leaving the 10. As far as the spare shot, yes, right now I am more accurate two handed. That is not how I throw my strikes two handed, for that spare, and only that spare I stand up straighter, push yo the left, and loft it. I don't have any good two handed videos to posy, or I would put up comparison video. I'm hoping with time I can get one handed as accurate as two. My spare ball is all messed up, the thumb is offset, a lot, and it's semi fingertip, because when I two hand semi fingertip feels better. That's also why I throw that 10 pin two handed.

Next time out I will try reversing my feet in my stance. My stupid phone stinks, it used to take great video, now it's all choppy, and misses stuff compleatly.

Here's another thing I have been considering when thinking about what style to use. Money is really tight around my house with a 2 month old. So, it may sound crazy, and just flat out the wrong reason to do it, but if I go with two handed, it's much cheaper to buy a ball. I have to use high end balls one handed, but two handed I use mid to low end balls two handed, so I'm saving $50 to $100 right off the top, plus I don't need to put in the sleeve for the Switch Grip. I was looking at prices today of a Critcal Theory, or Defiant and for what they cost I can get almost get two balls for two handing.

Here is what your referring to billf:


When the feet are parallel to each other, it gives you a more direct trajectory. (Closed)
With the right/left foot slightly back, you get a medium trajectory.
With the right/left foot back, you get a open trajectory. (Open)

When you do this, you should also rotate your hips accordingly.

Nice graph that I'm sure will help. His left foot was actually further behind the right which as the graph would show if it continued, causes a left trajectory.

[RoccoRock]

Definatly a helpful tool there. I'm gonna hit the lanes tomorrow at work, and I'm gonna work on that.

Don't be surprised or get too upset if you find yourself off balance at first. Like any change, it will feel strange.
