    Default practice

    I tend to lob my ball quite a bit and I have trouble timing my thumb from coming out of my ball. I have a video where my timing looks good but as I come through I lob It.

    I was wondering if there are any tips you guys can give maybe some drills to help me

    Try doing a one step drill where you stand about three feet back from the foul line, and let the ball swing several times in a muscle-free motion. When you are ready to let the ball go, make sure that it is at the top of the backswing as you start to slide toward the line. The ball should come into the lane like an airplane landing, not like one taking off. Make sure you stay down at the line, and extend your follow through towards the pins, not the ceiling.

    I think it looks pretty good. Just a matter of coming through the ball versus up the side...which will happen as a result of what Rob already mentioned.

    I was thinking Mudpuppy has been reincarnated.

    More practice footage. Thanks for the tips again. I'm rolling a btu fanatic here. I'm still lobbing it a bit but the roll is getting better. i actually got my grips widened so i can grip the ball better.

    You need to uncup your wrist at the release point. Think about snapping your fingers down as it reaches the foul line.
