Some background...
-I'm a right-handed, two-handed bowler styled closely after Belmonte.
-I use my index finger and middle finger due to a debilitating injury to my ring finger.
-I've been bowling now for only about 8 months.
-None of my balls have been drilled to my specific release. They've all been given a general drilling template or are a used ball previously drilled with a pretty standard looking layout.
Let me know if other details are needed.
When I finally started paying attention to the oil track on my ball to approximate my PAP I noticed it was completely different then what I expected based on researched information. Here is what it looks close to. Red and Blue tracks are to show differences I see depending on ball and how I release (still working on two different hand positions to create revolutions).

Is there any reason I should be worrying about this? Is it likely just due to not having the ball drilled to my release? When I find my path to the pocket and hit my target, it is usually very consistent. So does it really matter? I realize hook shape and flare potential are likely effected but beyond that should I be worried if I can remain consistent?
Also, when I release, it appears to me the ball is doing what I would consider a normal rotation direction. It rotates counter-clockwise toward the forward left.
