In general wether you are a player with High tilt and axis rotation, or if you have worked with a player like this, do they struggle with THS?

My axis rotation is 75-90*, and though not approximate I have been told I have higher tilt as well. In general I struggle on normal house shots, I generally get way too much reaction from straighter angles, yet I get alot of over under from inside angles, its just seem to be way too speed sensitive.

Also, in general are there certain Axis rotation numbers as well as tilt, that tend to lead to better scores in a THS?

Still taking your lunch money one strike at a time, just without a Mission in my bag....

Your "spinner" type release will give you too much reaction on a wet/dry condition like a THS. If you bowl on real dry lanes the spinner can be real asset

It's probably natural for you and will be hard to get away from it, but you can.

Your fingers are turning around the outside of the ball(spinning rotation) and at the thumb release time, your thumb is probably pointing down (tilt) because of the overturning of the ball.

Stick a piece of white tape on your ball under your middle finger, watch the tape during roll, and work to get it rolling over the ball instead of around it. Lead straight thru the ball with your ringfinger

Surface is your friend in that case man, don't be afraid to use equipment that is dull to help the ball start earlier and be smoother.
