Hmmm, the problem that I'm facing now is that I tend to slow down in my down swing, which kills my ball speed. Anyone faced such a problem before? I really want to increase my ball speed, but I can't seem to change. I thought it was because my hand was "waiting" for my legs to get into position before releasing, which means I've got a slow approach, but fast armswing. But after changing my steps and increasing my armswing, I still tend to slow down. Do you think it's because of a fear or hesitation to throw the ball down the lane? I've just started bowling for around 4 months, and average at around 140. Can anyone help me, any help would really be appreciated.
