Video of me, comments apprecieated

Hi, here's a short video of me throwing a roto grip cell. So far I already know that I need more knee bend, but any comments or suggestions to improve my game are welcome. Thanks

If at first you don''t succeed use a bigger ball.

I would try to get you arm swing to come straight through the ball instead off to the side.  Keep the practice up you be good.

Notice that your first shot your follow through goes to the right. The second it is more in line with your shoulder. Do you find yourself dumping shots wide right on occasion? Might want to consider fixing that to be consistent.

It's likely a result of  your mechanics/style trying to play the lanes inside though. I prefer to actually angle my feet to my target when I move inside, walk to it, and throw with my shoulder. Trying to rotate the ball off the hand in the direction of the breakpoint is hard to repeat.

Maybe more knee bend with your trailing foot lower to the approach too. Your leverage is 50/50 (one shot you hold balance ok, the other you slightly fall off).

There is nothing so easy to learn as experience and nothing so hard to apply.

I agree with se7en about your balance.  Try to be more solid at the line.  Overall, good delivery and pretty smooth.

Thanks for the input everyone. Se7en, I normally pull the ball instead of getting it wide, but that may be because like you said, my follow through is a little inconsistent. So I will work on staying more balanced at the line, having more knee bend, and a more consistent follow through. I will take another video next time i'm at the bowling alley. Thanks again.

I would work on timing if I were you. You appear to have good strength when throwing the ball, based on how much you twack on it. As the others have said though, your off balance at the line. This is most likely from your late timing. If you could work on getting the ball to the line a little sooner, this may help. Also, practicing with a plastic ball and playing straight up the boards near the gutter might be good for you. You look like where you bowl you constantly swing right. This is most likely causing you to really open up your shoulder. Not a bad thing, just not something you want to do all the time.
