modern release cuz of reactive resin

[RobLV1]

Another thing that adds to projection is an increase in forward spine tilt through the release. The upward angle that you see in the pros follow-throughs takes place after the ball is gone. The increasing spine tilt angle smooths out the bottom of the swing plane which aids in projecting the ball and in limiting lift through the release.

i'm not sure to the distance but it truly helps some lanes even have a second set of arrows down lane that are about the same distance as the head pin reflection. i do know this, when i roll on a THS the break point, where my balls kicks left, is always at my mark. so when i target the tip of the 6 pin reflection i know that as soon as my ball hits the tip it makes its move through the pin deck. yes it is hard. no i'm not bragging. it is something i have practiced for a few years and i still miss allot, and i need more practice finding that reflection point for each sport shot the shorter patterns are easier to lock down, for me anyway.

That's similar to Tom Smallwood's style, only he uses one hand and he's a full roller

[mike_thomas93]

That's nothing but Gutterball Grand Prix right there lol

Would there be any difference of projectory/release compared to a bowler that plants? Like me, I plant my foot, not slide.

Oh that reminds me. I just turned 21. I'm allowed to go into the bar now lol I forgot. Not to get drunk or anything since i"m not a drinker, but yeah lol I think I'll go in my next visit at the bowling alley ;p

I believe Couch plants his foot and he hits out on the ball, not up

happy birthday mike! So you just turned 21,,,, lol,,, if you do go to the bar, ( and Iceman does not drink ), make sure you let the boozes slide down your throat, don't project, or loft it!!

The old school is still the best in consuming boozes!!!

[mike_thomas93]

Nahh I think he slides. Doesn't hurt to check though. You mean Jason Couch, right?

[mike_thomas93]

Lol thanks, Icebeater. ;p I may try once, but as mentioned, I don't drink. Plus I'm on a little weight-loss mission. Alcohol in the mix wouldn't help the cause ;p
