    Well... first id like to remark at the fact that the ally i bowl at has the same ball return

    your swing seems a bit inconsistent, it will swing to the left, then to the right, then straight..... you need to work on doing the exact same thing every time, other than that, your balance is a bit off.

    now we wait for bill to come whip you into shape LOL

    Well, before Bill chimes in let me get my two cents worth in for you Striker. For the most part your approach looks pretty good. I'm in agreement about your right leg, you need to try to keep your right toe on the floor. Part of your falling off to the right ( other than not using your leg for balance) is that you get to the line a second before your arm and ball. Keep this fact in mind..."If your feet are too fast, you'll fall to the right and if your feet are too slow you'll fall to the left." So you're just a split second ahead of the ball. Even if you can't get your right leg all the way down, if you can get your ball and slide foot to come together at the line it will help your balance a ton.

    Regarding 'Lockwoods' comments, he's correct, however when you are off balance it's awfully hard to throw the ball consistently. You want to get to the point where you are "Perfectly" balanced on just your left foot (and right toe hopefully) when you release the ball and be able to HOLD that position until the ball drops off of the pin deck. When you get to that position you will be able to feel more about what your arm, hand and follow through are doing as well. Basically you will be setting yourself at the line.

    The 1 constant thing I see you do is movement! In my opinion you have too much movement before you bowl and this may be throwing you off. Can you hold ball still for couple seconds before you bowl? I have a teammate who does this and as soon as he stopped moving the ball,the more consistant he was in the pocket. Also you seem like your rushing,try slowing your footwork a tad and keep arm striaght thru swing. Your armswing should be same regardless of what ball your using,unless your going coast-coast with 1 ball and down & in with another? I would also consider a brace for leg or ankle for more stability.

    as everyone else said (including you) I think you should work mostly on your balance. Once you figure out how to get your foot down it will help a lot with consistency. The only other thing I see is that when you're trying to throw a strike your arm seems to go all over the place. Ideally you should follow through on your target line. You do this very well on your spares. It might be because from what it looks like on your strike shot you are really trying hard to hook the ball as much as possible. That's just how it looks to me. If you just roll the ball and follow through the revs will still be there, you might even have more. Keep working at it though... bowling is soooo much work haha
