    I looked at the other two bowling videos you ave on youtube as well. The really bad misses seem to happen when you stick at the line. Hard to tell from this whether you hit a sticky spot on the approach or stepped in something off the approach between frames. Not much you can do about the approach but some sort of shoe cover is a must for going to the snack bar or restroom.
    The only other thing is that it seems to take a while before you throw the ball far enough to the right to keep it in the 1-3 pocket. I don't know if this is a trust issue, i.e. I can't throw it there - it'll go in the gutter, or that it takes a while for you to figure out your line.

    You definately have a very good base to work with. You get a little bit loose in the arm at the top of the your backswing. Half the shots look pretty good, but when your arm loosens a bit at the top of the backswing is when you tug it most the time. This is because it throws your timing off, and your foot gets to the line before the ball does. I do agree with the last post too. Your shoes don't slide consistantly for some reason. It could be you, the shoes, or the approaches. The other thing you might work on is keeping your arm close to your body. It gets away from you on occasion. When you move farther left, and have to throw the ball outside, try keeping your shoulders aimed at your target instead of down the lane. You really do throw the ball pretty well! Keep up the good work, and you will improve soon enough.
