i have more than avg revs and avg speed. strong drillings don't seem to work for me and i am typically using low end equipment. are there any drillings that will work for me? my pap is 4 3/4 and 1/4 up. Thanks

In the past pin down under my ring finger have worked on several balls, when there is a lot of oil.

ive been told my pap is 6'' +... almost every ball i have drilled with a weight hole, i flare over to it and past....i hate it!!! told my driller but pretty much said its ok

i read some where awhile back that ppl with high revs and speed shouldnt have a weight more than 4'' past the center grip line...

Thanks Dan. How do I work on drecreasing tilt?

Working with a good coach is probably the best solution really, since it's hard to do just through words alone. However, the best way I can convey it to you is to change your mentality on how to hook the ball. Focus on getting the ball to roll as opposed to spin. Watch Chris Barnes, Norm Duke, etc. release the ball in slow-motion, and you'll see what generates a heavy ball roll. Get the thumb out quickly and cleanly while your fingers are still under the equater of the ball, then let gravity and momentum do the work for you. The ball will roll downward off your hand and off your fingertips while your arm is moving upward, creating the end-over-end part of the roll. Your hand's position during this creates the axis rotation part. If you try to really turn the ball from right to left, you're going to end up creating axis tilt, which makes the ball spin sideways down the lane more, which promotes early skid in oil and violent motion off friction.

Try a rico. I am over 500 rev rate and for me rico drillings help reduce the backend snap and promote a nice smooth reaction.

i have tried rico drillings....and had GREAT success with it on the longer PBA patterns. (Scorpion & Scorpion) It does not snap but it starts to pick up at just past the arrows. Thanks again Dan, I'm going to work with Paul today on tweaking my release. I have the rest of summer to get it straight.

I posted a slow motion video of Chris Barnes' release on my website:

www.averagebolwersballreviews.com

(Yeah, I know...bowler is spelled wrong. I'm a dork.)

It's under the Pictures and Misc. Videos section. It'll give you a very good idea of what Mr. Belcher is talking about.

well to stay behind the ball is fairly easy.for R.H start with the hand under the ball with the weight of the ball resting between your pointing finger and thumb as far to the right as you comfortably can and keep that wrist position from beginning of your swing,to your backswing and through the release. during the release follow through with your ring finger,you can change ball reactions simply with different finger pressure and slight wrist positions as well as different release points.
I have high revs but not so much tilt so I have problems with stuff rolling out if I slow my ball speed down to about 15-16 mph.I also don't care for alot of the big backend stuff but I have a few.I've found MoRich good for controlling the backends and still have a strong finish with the right lay outs and cover preps.Brunswick has also worked well for me and some ebonites like the v2 core balls.I stay away from Storm as they backend for me like crazy,not bad stuff just don't match up well with storm.

Going to work on these tips today with Paul. I'll report back later with an update. Thanks everyone!
