Okay, well, as the title says my teammate and I are in need of some advice.  We both received some coaching, but there's still a bit more work to do.  These videos were taken the day of coaching.  

I'm in the first video.  The things I already know I need to fix are my finish, in that I need to keep a consistent spine angle (not jerk up) as well as try to get lower.  Oh, and not whip the ball so hard, and yet so uselessly.  But, the thing I've been having trouble with is my release.  After a lay-off, I've come back with a ball roll I hate, a spinning forward roll shot.  It's fine for house shots, but all I'm bowling is a PBA league and it's less than stellar for those patterns.  I have video from last year when I threw a ball with a lot less tilt for reference, because I'm not sure what to do to correct this.  There's a slow motion clip at the end of the video by the way.

The second is my teammate Jake.  Again, he's fine for house shots, but on patterns like shark he has to really slow down to get the ball to actually roll up, so much that it's very difficult to repeat.  So we're hoping he can get some tips to just generate enough revs so that he doesn't have to just point it at the pocket.  Again, there's a slow-motion clip at the end.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the length of the post.
