Lol now my ball speed is too high.

[Ball99999]

I think I figured out how to get high ball speed, I really learned how to just let the ball drop and it really drives my arm back. I don't know what I was doing before, I guess it wasn't really a free arm swing.

I consistently got 16+ mph on Qubica. This is pretty good yes?

I just can't curve the ball lately.

well if you bring your arms up and down on the starting stance that can change your ball speed i hold my hands as low as i can and i still throw 18-19mph so i shortened my backswing and it has brought it down to 16-17mph but when you change speed your release could have chnaged soo my best way of getting back the hook is going back to the basic make sure i cna keep the arm swing then i work on th release then i work on getting my hand under the ball.

are you aiming at the 2nd arrow with 16mph?

Sometimes, why?

and it doesnt hook??

and it doesnt hook??

Last night it hooked. Today, different alley, didn't do ANYthing. I don't get it to be honest. There wasn't that much oil on the lanes. It just... wouldn't even drift left.

well 1 thing i need to ask from the 2 different bowling allies are the lanes different like is 1 wood and 1 the other one(can not figure out how to spell)


but also you said there was not much oil on the lane it could be your ball had burned up all the energy before the back part of the lane so it would not hook at all.

THe lanes tonight are almost certainly synthetic.
It had to have energy.. speed was high.. there was more oil than there was last night.

speed was high, but does the rev on the ball match with your speed? if not, then speed will take over and will not hook

This.

when you increase your ball speed you will loose hook unless you increase your rev rate to match the new speed, however with the higher back swing it may be harder to control the ball (for me it is) and as such you ca loose rev's thus amplifying the problem


Why did you wan't to increase ball speed? sure it gives you more force, but if it takes away from accuracy don't do it. if you want to slow down a bit but keep the same free swing motion, start your ball from a lower rest point, instead of holding at chest height before push away, try waist height.
