What causes an inverted track?
« on: April 02, 2010, 12:49:03 PM »
My PAP is now below the midline.  I have been bowling pretty well of late, so it seems to be working for me.  Is it considered a bad thing to have a down component on you PAP?  What am I doing with my release that would cause this?

You could just consider this a second good reason to buy a plastic spare ball, with a pancake core.  Then you'll be able to see the PAP yourself.  --  JohnP

A very big thumbhole , half use of the thumb or reverse pitch could possibly cause this also?

I'm not completely sure what causes it, when I change my release to throw the ball straight my track switches to inverted, its more than an 1" difference vertically on my PAP measurement. I'll try and shoot some video next week of my release and see if I can't put something up to show an inverted release on video.
