I think Mark Baker has said that bowlers ask him to help them get a better release or more revs, he usually fixes other flaws in their approach and when he gets their timing right the release problems go away. It could be that moving up has given you better timing. Finishing closer to the foul line is always a good thing. Where I bowl the machine doesn’t seem to leave any oil on the first foot of the lane, so if I were to stop 2’ back from the line I’d have to loft the ball at least 3’ just to hit the oil. Could be that knowing you don’t have to loft it as far let’s you ease up on your grip and has it coming off your hand better.
