How do you transition as the night goes on?

Google "Bowling Article: The Dead Zone"

There are some great graphics that talk about oil transition and it can cause exactly what you're talking about (and that I"m trying to spur conversation about here) - be interested to hear your thoughts.

Yeah, I have read that one before. Good article. Only bad thing is I have a hard time deciding if it was a bad throw or I need to move cause of a dead area. Specially in third game when I feel like my arm is getting tired and I try to over compinsate. I do not put nearly enough revs on the ball to move to far left and try to get it back in with a decent angle.

I usually try and ball down with something smoother on the backend. It all depends on which ball I start with. Moving right is not an option unless I throw urethane or plastic. It all depends on the ball motion I am seeing. If they are really flying, especially on the backends, I will ball down and go with more length and angle, moving left to open up the lanes. If the angle is too great where I'm pinging corner pins, than I will adjust with ball change to get more midlane. But in doing so I most likely have to move left again. I would say 8 out of 10 times I keep moving left and eventually loft gutter caps. The other two times I would switch to urethane or plastic. But those are the two times that the plastic and urethane wont actually hook that much...lol, the downfall of high revs

Downfall of high revs.. not an issue I'll ever have

it very well could be if you learn to stay behind your balls you should aim for 350-450 i think was the best chance for a strike based on some research hammer did

I've never had it measured, my wife just got a new camera and I'm going to try to get a hi-def round or two filmed so I can get a more accurate check.

i wouldn't worrie to much about that have them check and see where u hand is as you are about to release it should be behind it not on the side kinda like pushing the ball on to the lane

I get behind the ball enough - I have to worry about lofting ... Heh

w i am whilling to bet your hand is not where it needs to be by that i mean its not behind the ball like i am talking about can u post a video so i can slow it down and make it frame by frame

Worked on my release more today - that Analysis of Modern 10-Pin bowling video by Dean Champ showed me something.

I started leaving my hand open ala Mike Fagan and BOOM my release was so much smoother, more revs, more accurate.

I missed a 300 in practice by 1 pin today. I shot a 267, all strikes except a 9-open in the 7th...

I usually wind up moving left and go with the "miss left, move left. Miss right, move right" mantra. Mt struggles are when I have to change my ball speed to transition
