I have been bowling for sometime now and for a long time my pap has been around 2-3 inches over with around 20+ degrees of tilt but for the last 2 years the bowling surfaces are harder and oils have gotten slicker even with my higher rev rate or lower ball speed my ball does want to read the lane properly which effects my carry and overall hook.
I know I know i got a good rep for knowing the game but this one thing has hamper me for a long time.
know my Pap is 2 1/4 over
track diameter is 9 inches i want to aleast increase it to 11 inches.

thanks for all respones

You're going to need to stay behind the ball longer.  You can alter your drilling spec's to the following to help:

Add 1/16 to middle finger span
Subtract 1/16 from ring finger span
3/8 away on middle finger pitch
3/8 positive on ring finger pitch

This is assuming that you're right handed.

Patty Costello had me actually break my wrist back and "spank" up on the ball. Making sure of a nice easy swing. Fingers all to the ceiling. We did this with a one-step drill and also a three step. Another drill to do at home was to pick up a pail by the handle when it was in front of you. Picture pail in front of the foul line lined up with your throwing shoulder. We also did a drill on the lanes where you were on one knee (at the foul line) and pushed the ball out on the lane. This would help stay behind the ball and promote good leverage position or the ball would kind of go every where. I believe this was to promote muscle memory more than anything.
