Practice/open play session on 9-8-2013; I hadn't bowled in nearly three weeks and went 126-149-145...I made the mistake of going one more game and 112 was the result. My standards have changed a lot in the past year, year and a half or so.
I decided to apply fitting tape to my actual thumb to make the thumb hole seem tighter so that I wouldn't have to squeeze it...the results were surprising, and I HAD to relax my hand for the most part. My speed is up, maybe not my revs, but definitely my speed. I'm also not lofting the ball as much, so that's a good sign, I think.
