You do over hit the ball a little at release.  Your thumb doesn't make it out of the ball much before your fingers.  Clean up your release a little and I'll bet your ball reaction will improve.  Very nice overall.

I agree about the thumb.  Any chance you could yo yo the release to get your thumb out cleaner?

Thanks a lot for all the comments and advice. I agree with the thumb release issue too, it's actually what I've been trying to work on lately. I think the problem I have is that I'm cupping and uncupping the wrist a little bit too late, hence releasing the ball too far ahead of my foot and at the point it becomes difficult to "yo yo" the wrist and have a clean thumb release. I hope a cleaner release will help me improve my ball speed too.

span or thumb pitch could also be the issue with not clearing the thumb. To much reverse or a long span can cause added grab. Hold it like a bird and it's easier to clear the thumb. Just a thought...good luck and nice video.

I forgot about the pitches.  I had to change mine before I could yo yo my release.

Nice video reply posts, by two phenomenal bowlers (Jones, Malott).

Notice how both of these "power" players get their hand so low at the point of release--the ball comes oh so close to touching the lane--which is a huge key for getting a consistent, strong-rolling ball.

That seems to be one of the keys of the power players.  Chris Barnes does the same thing.  Does it seem like he really long arms?
