    when you need to slow down the speed (heavy oil maybe), what do you do?

    so far i've only play on THS oil before.. so.. i'll stand more to the right if the oil is slightly heavier.. and rev the same thing..

    If your backswing is over your head YOU ARE MUSCLING THE BALL! Most bowlers can not swing freely much past parallel to the floor. When you cup the ball doesn't go as high but the wrist does.

    my backswing is usually about 45-60 degrees to the ground.. the highest i went was about shoulder height (parallel to the floor)
