    I am going to assume you are a lefty by that description, since if you were pointing ur middle and ring fingers dead left and you were a righty, that would be extremely awkard. As you release the ball, do you feel your hand coming around the side of the ball at all, as if you started behind it and then rotated your hand around it?

    lol I mean when I'm holding the ball in front of me before my approach, (i'm a righty by the way), my hand is turned so that my four fingers are pointing to my left, almost like holding a baby.

    When I throw the ball, my hand comes partway around the ball, but I like to get some revs on it more than curve, my curve is already good enough without trying to get it that way.

    To hook a Black Widow like you mentioned before, you must have some decent hand in the ball. Would you happen to have a video of you bowling? Maybe on Youtube or something o that nature?

    I don't, no, but I'll see about getting one made here in the near future.

    I really appreciate the help, I signed up to this site thinking maybe it would be just professionals bragging about their bowling balls, the new guys sitting in the back and just watching.

    I love how the site immediately welcomed me in and made me feel like part of the group.

    This site definitely gets a 10/10 from me.

    No problem for the help, even though I am struggling a bit to picture your approach. It just isn't clicking in my head for some reason, but a video would definately make all the difference. Then I can really give you some tips and advice.

    I'm glad you feel the same way I do. I'm hoping that it never turns into the sites like that. I've been to them, too. We're all pretty normal people, I think. Well, maybe not exactly "normal" but you know what I mean.

    I have a saying about the word "normal".

    Normal is a setting on a dishwasher, not a person.

    So NO ONE is "normal" no matter how hard they try to be.

    THAT, sir, probably describes every person on this planet, and if they exist, on other planets. o.O
