i think a bowler should stay in his comfort zone... where he can rev the ball as well as throw the same shot over and over. and you look very comfortable which is perfect.

too many people want to throw it like you do... which is ok but sometimes you either have it or you dont... forcing it will look cool but theres no way they will ever throw a big series.

I learned the hard way that a super strong release like that isnt always needed if you dont have it.

im always in that tweener hell spot and thought that my strong release would dominate anyone who didnt have more hand then me.... WOW was I wrong.  (not bragging... im actually only around 275-300 which is just medium revs in my mind)

kid wanted to play with me who strokes it just like norm duke playing the extreme outside.... three games and he was over 220 average.... I lost throwing a 233!

just goes to show consistence and the right amount of angle is all thats needed.

Nice game man, I like it a lot.  I'm surprised Lane #1 hasn't called you to do a BuzzBomb video on THS yet.

ok i looked little bit deeper into ur approach, as compared to TJ, the only difference is that at the top of ur backswing, i dont see a straight line with the head.

as u said in one of ur replies, u get it out and then back in.

but i believe, to achieve more consistency the top of the backswing should be in line with the head, such thing can be found on TJ or Barnes.

again, thats just textbook, i think u have a great game
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Great point on the comfort zone, for the past like 3 years ive had a rev rate of around 500 and thats always great for fresh conditions, but once the pattern burnt out it became harder to move left. By cutting back on my revs i can start farther right on the approach which gives me more room to move right if need be. Also i can play alot straighter which gives me a comfort zone on a bigger area of the lane. Personally i dont think you would ever need revs over 500.

IMO, you seem pretty tense when your bowling. I don't know if you are trying to force yourself to look like TJ, but loosen up.
