Use a stop watch, most cell phones have one in the tools section. Time from the foul line to the head pin.
I was going to post the ball speed/ rev rate chart I copied from an earlier Bowl1820 post but it says it's too large. I'm not worried though as I'm sure he will come to my rescue!

This is the guy that that drilled my ball! A little background! He seems pretty sharpe in regards to bowling, not a newbee type!! Getting ready to check a couple pro shops and get their opinion!
