Hi Mike,

Everything depends on your release being very consistent. Your release affects your positive axis point (PAP) and your PAP dictates how you should drill the ball.

Watch Talk Bowling episode #15 for some more information about your PAP.

That's a great idea. I will look into adding that soon.

Yes, you can and we will match with 1/2 inch of pin distance and 1/2 ounce of top weight. Put your request in the comments/special request section during checkout.

Budzman,

This was completely my fault. :(

I didn't put the windscreen on and the air conditioning vent is right above the camera. I usually turn the AC off during shooting. I do think the audio is better up until that point.

Next episode I am going to try and take the mic off the camera to reduce any electronic noises as well.

Thank you so much for the input though. I do like the comments, positive and negative.

Hi Alain,

Thank you for watching. I was out of bowling for about six weeks because I did something to my wrist. I think my backswing was bad. :(

I still can't recommend the Virtual Energy highly enough. I have thrown that one on more patterns than any other, so I have more experience with it. I did throw the Evil Siege and C-System 3.5. Both were great as well. With my lower rev rate, I prefer a pearlized ball to help it get down the lane and retain energy.

Those are my thoughts...

I am looking forward to being in the future videos, as many people seem to like our mix of talent. My lower speed, lower rev rate, up to Tony and Brian's higher speeds.

If you watch Talk Bowling, http://www.talkbowling.com/?lf=bbfho you will see that I love the Virtual Energy in Heavy Oil. I then often follow that up with a Hy-Road as the lanes start to break down.

The C-System 3.5 is another great ball, but I haven't thrown that in a tournament yet like I have the Virtual Energy.

Please check out TalkBowling Episode #5 for some great bowling shoe information. http://www.talkbowling.com/talk-bowling-0005/

One option is to purchase shoes with interchangeable soles.
Some people will lick their fingers and then rub the bottom of their slide sole, kind of gross, but it does the trick of limiting your slide.

Hope these help.

Another great example of why our community is great. People giving advice is amazing.

I like this suggestion as it was how curving a bowling ball was first described to me. A simple underhand toss of a football. You will notice how you can't really spiral the bowling ball if you keep your thumb on it the entire time. As you release, you lift your thumb and continue through with your fingers to cause the spiral.

Thank you for the input on this topic! It is really appreciated.

Hi Roger,

That is a very good point and you are correct. This basic article is trying to get the point across that is not so much spinning the ball, as it is a proper release.

When using a finger tip grip, you almost automatically let your thumb out before following through with the fingers. The timing between the thumb coming out and the fingers is very quick.

Thank you for the comment and helping us better improve the information.

Hi Linda,

I am not sure what you mean. You would love to see what exactly? Maybe I can make something more clean in this post.

Thank you,
