Horrible night

[backlasher]

That's the kind of thing that makes me look forward to next week.

I don't know which is worse, not being able to figure out what's wrong, or knowing what's wrong and not being able to fix it.

That's the only good thing I can take away from my latest disaster, I think I know what was wrong. I noticed 2 things when I saw the video. One, I was bowling thumbless, and my backswing was too high. I had the ball up near my head, and that's just too much for my thumbless delivery. The other issue was timing, I was getting into my swing too early. When I went back, and looked at video of my thumbless, two handed, and thumb in deliveries, it was all the same story. My timing stinks, no matter what style I am currently using. I think I have fixed it. We will see when I hit the lanes this week.

If you have ever read the book the Game Changer by Mark Baker, his one thing he teaches that everyone does the same is that your arm should be parallel to the floor when your slide foot hits the floor. 99% of professional bowlers do this even though nothing else might be the same this is the point where everything needs to match. Through most of the rest of the book he talks about how to fix if this is not happening basically ways to fix timing whether early or late.

Just typing this out make me want to read the book again.

Mantis not sure you will get much out of the book with your style. Your arm never goes above parallel so anything in that book with timing is probably not going to be very helpful. Some of the timing things may help but a lot of it is based on the parallel arm to the floor concept.
