I bowled yesterday after taking a rare 6-day break from bowling and my callous had healed up enough that I had to add a couple pieces of tape (probably should have added more) to compensate.
The only warning about moving the ball up or down in your stance for speed compensation is you're going to mess up your timing. I used to hold the ball very high in my stance and then lowered it a great deal. BUT...I had to also move about 7ft forward on the approach to compensate because my timing would be way too early otherwise. Recently I've raised to ball up to chest level and have had to adjust about 3ft backwards in the approach to avoid late timing. And now I'm taking shorter steps...so I've moved a foot closer on the approach.
The point is, remember, timing is more important than speed and changing your ball height in your stance and/or your backswing height will almost always require a re-adjustment in your approach to compensate.
