Alright, thanks. I'll do that today.
New Video
I don't think my form changed significantly since yesterday, but I figured I'd make a video of me playing a game from start to finish rather than a compilation of clips. I have a pretty good idea from earlier comments of what I should be doing to work on my form. Now I just need to actually do those things. Right now, I'm just wondering if there's an easy way to increase ball speed or if I should just hit the gym and start lifting some weights. Oh yeah, and here's the video of me bowling earlier tonight. Other than two open frames, I did okay.

please remember i am not a coach but try throwing your ball out on lane about a foot looks like your setting it down, around 55 sec to about 1:08 your followed though nice i push it to the right some times to but it doesn't look to bad for ball speed there's a lot of ways but i am not sure what would be be for you that's something id ask bill
So I'm not really a coach either but I think the best thing you could do at your level is work on your balance and release at the line. I would recommend looking at some videos on youtube regarding a one step drill. Then once you feel comfortable with that move back to a 3 step drill. I still use these drills and are very useful.
he's doing a 4 step and he looks like he's pretty close to the foul line it doesn't look to bad id leave that alone for a while and try to focus on follow thur and and not setting the ball down bending thos kneesand work on stare down your mark i love cosmic bowling and very nice spilt pick up you've come a long ways my friend lol you've made great improvements
i am not attacking you or saying you wrong because we all need footwork improvements but he just switched from a 2 finger approach to i guess normal you should read thur everything and see what's been said and what hasn't
Watched your other video before this one and there is a definite improvement showing. What I'd like to see you do is get a deeper knee bend at the line, kick that left leg out further and hold it there. When you release the ball at the line, and it was mentioned earlier in another post, your arm needs to be STRAIGHT OUT TO YOUR TARGET. You're pulling your arm in front of you, which would indicate to me you're lifting your eyes off of your target a split second before you release the ball. You must, repeat, must, watch your target until the ball rolls over it...then look up at the path of the ball and the pins. You can't hit what you don't see, and also remember this...your left hand will always follow your eyes. If you look up a split second too soon, you will pull the ball right.
You're on the right track, keep practicing and you'll see the improvements.. Big thing is to stay DOWN at the line, balanced on just your right foot and keep your left leg behind you with the toes on the floor.

I think part of your problem is that the ball swings to the right behind your back. This is causing the ball to push left on shots that are released a bit early. The pulls are probably an over-correction from the misses to the left. You can practice your swing with out going to the bowling center, The problem is to do so without getting into the habit of holding onto the ball past the release point.
