    As i said earlier this video is with our country champion. He is almost the same height as I am. Look at his timing. I think that he has almost the same timing as I am (at least till that time when the ball goes into back swing and past his knees), but with only one difference - fourth step (5 steps approach) is longer than my third step (4 steps approach). And I think that because of that the ball is not too late in his case.

    So what would be better for me - to tweak my timing to his timing, I think this will require less work, or rework my timing from scratch to traditional timing - ball goes to down swing with the right leg when it goes back from the first step? I've tried this timing at home and noticed that in this case I need to add more speed to be in sync with a swing. I don't know if this is good thing
    Just to make sure I have this straight; the first clip is you in slow motion starting about the third step, the second is the full approach of your national champion?

    Experts, or in this case, champion bowlers have practice thousands of hours to to attain their high level of skill. This explains why bowlers like Don Carter, Gary Dickenson, and many others have had successful careers without having text book form. For most people, we try to teach them to push the ball straight out in the direction of their target during the second step of a five step approach. As the ball side foot touches the floor, the ball should drop into the swing. Without a push-away on the second step you need to drop the ball into the swing with little or no push-away.

    Go watch Chris Barnes video on the 4/5 step approach and compare you're timing with your first right leg step, that would be the first thing I'd correct.

    Your timing is not the same as your country's champion. At the top of his back swing he is going into the slide. Your slide has already begun well before the top off your backswing. You're a good .2 seconds behind him. In bowling that's a lifetime.
    Then you have a choice to make; stay where you feel comfortable or make changes and improve. Each change suggested you seem reluctant about so why not tell everyone what change you want to make?

    Hand position. One step drills with your wrist cupped under the ball. Record and watch until you can keep your hand further under the ball. If the wrist feels straight, more than likely it's not.
