    Wow, who is the guy in the second video? Is that your twin brother or something? It's hard to believe that is the same person that was in the first video. I'm just kidding of course. You have made great improvements.

    Great improvement. I see you're far more consistent in your balance and your release now.

    From this point, the only adjustments you'll need are when the lane conditions change. But don't be overly concerned with that. One thing a great man told me long ago was to move the direction your ball goes and keep your mark. In other words, if your ball cuts across the headpin (brooklyn/jersey) just move a few board to your left and use the same mark. You'll be fine if the lanes break down. Happy Bowling! (: .)

    Awesome improvement on your balance. I second what everyone else is saying. Looks like 2 different people! Next can be to work on bringing that ball back a little more straight and not so much behind your back. Again, GREAT GREAT GREAT improvement already.

    The first thing I saw in your first video was the balance issue. I notice everyone else mentioned that as well and I also see you've really improved that in the second video. Balance is a major problem for me and I think is what is keeping me down at the level of "good" bowler when I should be up at "very good". Keep working on that because everything else can easily fall apart if you are falling off your shot. I should know because I do it way too often!

I also noticed that I was walking to the right on most shots, so I will need to correct that as well. Being able to stand through the shot was definitely a help, I felt like I had more control and was getting more reaction that normal.

    Ryan, Great improvement. That entire game you only fell off to the right one time. Doesn't it feel more comfortable to be completely balanced ?? Good job, keep up the good work.
