One of the smoothest forms and releases I have seen

Matt McNiel is poised to make history this year. He is gunning for his 3rd All Events Eagle at the USBC Open Nationals. He is currently sitting in 1st place for all events.

Only 2 bowlers have won All Events twice, Matt of course is one of them.

2 years ago in Reno, I bowled on the same squad as him on the Bowlers Journal tournament. Really nice guy.

Has a doubles eagle as well.

Yep, trying to get to the point of less muscle. Problem is with that I get around 13mph and sometimes will use a lot of hand so ball will hook too much due to slow speed.

I fight that all the time too.

Way back when, you needed to use a lot of muscle/hand to get the ball to turn. Now, that's not the case.

If I'm focused, deliberate with my approach and under control with my timing, all is well. If not, it's often because my timing is off and I start muscling the ball too much.
