So I have a guy come to me wanting to get more reaction out of his equipment... 

He is an extremely low rev rate and I have spent some time with him on the lanes, and we are starting to make some progress but his PAP is 6 7/8 over by 1/2 up his track run over his ring finger, and is about an inch right of his thumb.

Watching his release it almost. Seems like his fingers and thumb are releasing simultaneously.

I have his spans here:

MF <1/4 ^1/16.   Span: 4- 1/4.
RF >1/2 ^1/16  span: 4- 1/4
Thumb 31-32 5/16 reverse. 

I know the problem is more physical then grip, but the more I can do quicker the more progress I can make in the physical department...

Any thoughts....

He used to play 5 pin (the Canadian small ball bowling) and lacks wrist strength his wrist is pretty well broken the whole swing... And appears to be pretty well straight up the back the whole way.   

Sounds like almost a full roller.

+1. If he's been taught that way then that 1 thing. You would have to teach him how to rotate the ball at the bottom of the swing. Thats if he wants to learn it.
