    Release it closer to the floor. Bowling balls are made to roll, not toss or throw.

    Or you could go back to the old rubber balls and see if it would bounce straighter and stay on the lane.

    Yiyiyi, why am I even doing this???? Got to go for a second glass of wine.

    Get yourself a grown up ball. Throw it one handed and you are all set. Or ask your high school coach...

    Since you have opted to stay with the chest pass style i would say go with a 6 lb ball and throw it all the way to the pins. That way you can avoid the bouncing off the lane. Obviously this will take some practice. Good luck.

    The distance is quite coincidental, but interesting.

    The world record shot put is 75' 10.23"

    Thats with a 16 lb metal ball.

    If you stood behind the approach (most approaches are 15 feet long) that 75' 10.23" would have the ball landing between the 2 and 3 spots.
