Can you teach me the proper release?

[Strike Domination]

Success is a relevant term. If you want to bowl on house shots mostly and average 200+, I bet you could probably do that with a track 4" from the fingers/thumb. However, I would go for a track no further than 2-3" away for an ideal ball reaction. I believe my initial track is around 2" away, my PAP is 4 5/8" over and 3/8" up so I don't spin the ball but I don't have a huge amount of roll either. If the track was 3" away I bet you could do well enough given the right equipment and adjustments.

To raise your track more, make sure you stay behind the ball longer. You pretty much don't want to turn your hand on purpose, that's how a really low track starts. Either that or your thumb gets stuck. Also if you are lofting the ball a bit that could mean you're holding on too long which can also cause a low track.

Thanks for the input!!

Yes, im definitely "helping" the ball by turning my hand and will practice keeping my hand more in its initial position tonight when we practice. Will ley you know how that works. Thanks again for the help!!
