I'm going to have nightmares about people making videos telling others not to swing out toward the pins, but up towards your head. That was really good advice in 1975 when you had to "hit up" on the ball, but today it's about the dumbest thing I can imagine some well-meaning person saying. When you have a one step approach, you biggest challenge is to get the ball down the lane and you cannot do that when your armswing to going toward the ceiling!
Last week the humidity was so high in Vegas that sliding was not an option. I had to bowl using a one-step approach. I was able to shoot 200-190 for the first two games, despite using one step. I would suggest looking at your arsenal. Urethane is a really bad choice for slow-speed bowlers. The Raw Anger, if I remember correctly, is a fairly low rg ball. My arsenal right now consists of (from most to least aggressive): Columbia Messenger, Brumswick Twist, Brunswick BTU, and Brunswick T-Zone plastic. These balls give me a good range of motion with my 10-11 mph ball speed. Three weeks ago I shot 300 while practicing with friends, using the T-Zone plastic ball. You can knock down more pins with a "weak" ball than with a "strong" ball when you are speed challenged.
