need some help with what has happened with my bowling.

[striker12]

hey guys today at bowling i was throwing my 14lb ball and i was throwing it too fast where it was not hook that well.

but then when i grabed my only 15lb ball my c300 freeze i could not even hold it in the backswing my backswing was getting to short and felt like 100lb on my arm
so if anyone knows anything why this could be and what i could do to help it because im planning on getting a new ball eather the :"hammer first blood" or "storm sync" or maby another c300 ball.

and also at bowling when i went to throw my 15lb ball my approach was messed like my left leg would not go forward at the right pace it was slowing down and if i tryed going alittle faster i lose all strength in my arm and eather pull the ball or drop it and put no revs on it at all.

so if anyones got any idea on how to fix this please share and what to do to help fix it.

Sorry Striker, I don't have a clue as to what's going on. One pound more in weight, while noticeably heavier, shouldn't feel twice as heavy, let alone seven times heavier.

All I can think of for the problem with your footwork is that you were too focused on the problem with the swing that feet slowed down.

I would suggest that you go back and read some of the posts on changing speeds and next time the ball is just blowing through the breakpoint, use one of those methods to slow the ball down.

thanks john i will take a look into them and i will print some off so i can keep them handy to read over while bowling.

and probly my feet was probly because of the problem with the swing like i could hold it at the start easly but when i get into a swing the ball would go down but i could not get it too go backwards at all and i did the hinge swing and push away

Hey Striker, I guess I'd have to see how you used to step, start your backswing, slide, lift and release as compared to now.
It sounds to me an adjustment in one or two (maybe three) of those areas could be the cause to your effect.
But as I said, its a guessing game without seeing you bowl. Best of Luck. I'm sure you'll work it out.

To me it sounds a lot like the timing would be a mental thing. Knowing that you're throwing a heavier ball could change things. My only guess about the heaviness of the ball would be that it doesn't fit your hand properly. Proper fitting makes all the difference. But that's all just a guess

Definitely hard to tell. How about a video?

the ball fits my hand got in jan of 2012 and all my other balls are drilled the same.

i will get a video of how i bowl and in the video i am throwing the 15lb ball but the video is when i was getting better with the new style of bowling but and also i was throwing different balls style alittle different now but i can say those parts from the video.

[striker12]

heres a video of part of the swing the approach is still the same backswing just a little different instead of my hand being on the outer side of the ball going to the inside my hand in now on the inside of the ball and at the start of the video i am throwing 14lb balls and at about half way and all spare shots is with a 15lb ball i did have some bad shots but this is video is from a crap bowling alley where i'm not stander where i normaly do.


in the video my balance was a issue back then but its better now other then when this happened i have not had a probly till today and i'm still bowling the same as i have for the past while also my throw is not as fast anymore its just a little slower but i will get a new video on as soon as i can to compare the differences of the video but in the next video at the start i will throw it as i was happening today and near then throw it the way i should be.
