...AND....
...Aslan is a former student....which Rob should lead with in his advertising.
I guess he could include Iceman in the advertisement too given the recent 300 games and 800 series...if those kinds of things impress you.
Okay... Then it looks like I need a session with Rob!
I hadn't put it together until this thread, but I've got Rob's website in my favorites, and I've read through it at least a dozen times. A wealth of data in there.
Rob, you'll be happy to know I've worked on many of the things you've posted on, so maybe I'll be able to shape up fairly easily. So far, I've broken rule #2 (follow through outward instead of upward), have done my darndest to resist hitting up on the ball (breaking rule #1, with pretty good success), and have incorporated more spine tilt (breaking rule #3). As you note, I was taught to 'stay upright' with my spine in the 70's. Have also found the 'phantom step' to be incredibly useful in getting a nice, aligned footwork motion. Breaking rule #4 is way harder, but I think I'm getting there. Using a wrist support, I've obviously taken rule #5 out of the equation. I'm guessing you're going to take my wrist support away from me first thing! I'd be happy to not have it... Just not sure I can stay under the ball without it. One thing is for sure, I definitely am on the outer half of the ball at the bottom of the swing, and have had a really hard time getting the 'feel' of having my hand on the inside of it.
One of these upcoming trips, I'll call you a week ahead and we can schedule an appointment. Would love to have you take a look at me. Want to thank you for being kind and not just flaming me, too.

What the hell do I know.. I am just a Bowling God on this site,, LOL,, I just know that what has taken me to a higher level, is knowing different hand positions. Maybe because I am a god, I am different?? To me,,when I launch my ball with my hand more behind it, it travels further down the lanes, and has a huge break at the end. That's with my Byte Storm ball. That's a story in and of itself.... when I have time to comment more on the subject. My average has went up a bunch working WITH THE different positions depending on the lanes I am bowling on! My average at Gladstone, STAYING BEHIND the ball, with a little flick with my middle and ring finger, stared me out with a 225 average. This JUST might be ICEMANS year! Thanks Rob for that ONE free lesson you gave me in Vegas!! Some are just quick learners!! I guess..... LOL
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
