    you consistently have a 3-9 leave? You need to hit the pocket better.

    RH or LH is important to the answer.

    My best guess without seeing a video and assuming you're right-handed...is that you need to move 2:1 inside...increase your angle...fix your line. You're not hitting the 1-3 pocket...you're missing left...assuming you're not pulling the shot...your line has to be off.

    If you're LH...that's a more complicated question...because it likely means a 1:1 or 2:1 move inside to battle your ball burning out....OR...it could be a 2:1 move outside because your line is too aggressive.

    That won't end as long as Belmo is winning championships.

    Once Belmo blows out his back...I think bowlers will abandon, for the most part, the 2-handed style when people realize how much harder it is to be a high-level bowler throwing 2-handed. The advantage in carry is almost always overpowered by the disadvantages related to consistency, longevity, and spare-shooting.

    Well, that's different. For a 3-pin, my original advice applies. For a single 9-pin...that definitely depends on RH versus LH.

    There was a "kid" (he was at least 17) during spring break bowling like that a few lanes down from me. That video doesn't do justice to how annoyingly LOUD it is.
