Got a young lefty who tracks over his thumb and fingers. All the stuff
he throws has a "standard" drill on it,ie; pin around the ring finger and
cg close to the center of his grip. You can hear about 4-5 thumps on
release, quiet thru the mid lane, then 2 -3 thumps on the backend on
every shot. He has the best average in our house by about 15 pins, so
he's not a slouch. He has tried different releases,but all that does is
mess him up. 3 different drillers have also taken a shot at the tracking
issue, without success. Anyway, last night was out practicing with my
son, and he came down to join us. We talked about the tracking thing, and
he's quite reluctant to change because of how he'e been bowling. So we're
bowling,counting his thumps, and I told him to throw my son's (righty)
Zone Classic that's drilled pin above ring with the cg stacked.
NO THUMP, and it moved awesome for him.
So now what do we do? We have some stuff laying around that is close
to his span, we'll just reslug them to get pitches right and
let him have at it. But, when he gets new stuff, how do we
go about deciding what kind of a drill to put on it?
Thanks, raff.
