HIGH to Low TRACK

[MICHAEL]

i think he means finger holes in general ice

How would I know what he means? I am ICEMAN, not a mind reader! ( Later.... off to the gym for a work workout! Taking on a bunch of
young whippersnappers in the not to distant future! Need to make a GOOD showing for all the other Old, stinky farts out there, as Aslan puts it!

I have exactly the opposite problem my track is quite a bit more than 2 inches from the holes. I would like to try to raise mine some as it tends to make my balls hook to early especially if I'm throwing equipment with very much surface.

The lower your track the more your spinning it, To move your track, you have to change your release.

So your not spinning it as much.

So is it true if your track is high the ball will break sooner? Seems like no matter what ball I get I have to have polish on it. If I don't, it just looks like a rainbow ball with no power.

Any suggestions on how to do this? I've always had this issue. Not sure what causes it in the first place. I know my ball looks different going down the lane than most other peoples.

stay behind and underneath the ball

stay behind and underneath the ball

Staying behind and underneath, will cause you to have more HAND on the ball. Its a big game changer for me! Come ON VEGAS,,,, Ice has another tool to practice with between now and Sept 24th, WHEN THE RUMBLE IN VEGAS HAPPENS!!

stay behind and underneath the ball

I don't know I feel like there must be something to it more than that. I use a cupped wrist on my release kind of hard to have your wrist cupped and not be underneath the ball. Behind could be an issue but I've never noticed it or had anyone say I had an issue with that.

It's more stay behind and come up the back of the ball, plus keep your swing tucked close to your body.

You have to stay more behind the ball as your hand comes to the release, so you're not overturning your ball. Reducing how much you cup your hand will help (Don't cock your hand too much either)

Staying in the thumb longer will cause it to track closer to the thumb also.

Then as your thumb comes out of the ball, try not to rotate your fingers. Your wanting to reduce side turn.

Trying to think of a visual. Instead of throwing a underhanded spiral with a football, imagine just rolling it across the floor.

It's like when you roll your spare ball so it thumps over the holes, that would be the extreme

Rob can explain it better.

One thing about trying to raise or lower track, it takes work.

Thanks Bowl everything takes work. I know they still teach the underhand spiral thing in our kids leagues so that's most likely where I picked it up. (still the same coaches) twenty years later. I'll experiment some and see what I come up with. I would say the overturning and finger rotation are where I have the issue.
