Ok I'm kinda confused by what I'm actually seeing, and what they're actually saying about the guy bowling (who I assume is a pro).
At around 1:12 they say the modern day players go a different direction, then procede to show the pro whose fingers are clearly going counter-clockwise which is the exact same direction they describe seconds earlier in the old school release...How is that a different direction?
They said something about they go "backwards" and I fail to see that. Do they mean on the downswing (which isn't shown in the clip) that the fingers go backwards? Because the way they phrase it, to me it sounds like they're saying the fingers are rotating clockwise which my eyes tell me is clearly not the case.
One guy also states that the ball is "rotating" down the fingers, does he mean "rolling" down the fingers? Or does he mean that the ball "rotated" down the fingers in the part of the swing they didn't show? Because to me it looks like the bowler rotated his hand clockwise PRIOR to the release to get it in position (again this part is not shown), then lets the ball ROLL down his fingers to get his thumb to exit cleanly, and then at the last second used his fingers to push the rotation counter-clockwise.
Am I misunderstanding what they're saying and showing (entirely possible). I wish they had shown an entire swing and broken it down piece by piece so I could see when/where those fingers are moving clockwise.
