    if it's not hooking the same...your wrist might not be positioned the same as the last ball, also your fingers might be coming out of the ball differently and you're not getting the same amount of lift.

    After watching your video, I pointed out to you that on one ball, it looked like you didn't follow through.
    The follow through is so important because that's where your lift comes from, thus giving you more hook.
    Like MH said, muscle memory is important....there are so many factors that go into a good approach and release, sometimes it's hard to remember every last little detail you have to go through to get a consistent hook.
    The more you practice, the more you'll notice that you'll start doing all of these little things without even thinking.
    Just keep practicing and sit back and enjoy the results

    I wonder if the hooking issues aren't related to ball speed. Is that relatively consistent too?

    I would also try to button down your accuracy. 2-3 boards at my center is a "big miss" I normally have one board either way or I'm in trouble, either no hook or too much hook...

    The etiquette thing is somthing most of us deal with on a weekly basis...I just figure out who really doesn't have it, then make sure I either wait for them to be done, or I go up there and just let them go first no matter what...

    true, ball speed is definitely another variable to consider

    Yeah my ball speed is pretty consistent in 13-14mph range. I don't throw it all that hard because my lack of revs

    if your speed is consistent, then I'm gonna have to agree with Jord, it has to be a follow through/hand position issue.

    take your time you'll get it!

    So I took two weeks off from bowling... Partly because of Guitar Hero Metallica Anyway, I opened with a 152. Not bad, but then went 184,193,189, and 204. I'd say at least for tonight, I am out of my slump. It just felt good. I'm sure next time I go I will be bowling 140 again lol.
