What are the mechanics needed to obtain forward roll at release? I don't mean the "dead-fish" straight ball, but the one that has a slight axis tilt that still hooks and shreds the rack. I've noticed several high average keglers that use this release rather than the conventional skid-flip that most bowlers use. Is there a video out there that shows this?
Thank You

Best example I can give is working on staying behind the ball at release without much wrist rotation, and without grabbing the ball at the bottom.  You mention axis tilt, but I think you are looking for lower axis rotation ( about 20 degrees).

I get a very end over end look, by keeping any wrist cup out of my setup, letting muy fingers feel like they are pulling through the ball forward at release, not pulling up. 

This is a great release on flatter conditions, and carries very well if your speed and rev rates are well matched.  It can be less advantageous on house shots because it will transition quicker off the dry,  often forcing play too much head belly from inside the oil line.   

Thanks for the helpful replies, except from "GIZMO". I find I CAN learn a lot from watching the BEST at what they do best. The pin action and carry that these "rollers" get far outshines the normal skid and flip action of the normal delivery. They get lots of revolutions and amazing hook action for a ball that doesn't flip to the pocket.

If anyone sees a video of this delivery, please post it.

Thank You

Now that's more like it!!  It took two times but you really did help me. You didn't insult my intelligence, I'm not hat smart to start with.  Now I can try to practice the info I got.

Thank You

You at the very least need a camera so you can tape yourself and watch to make sure you at least know what it looks like.

I really think this is a requirement. You really need to see what you are doing.

Makes me giggle a bit when people want to learn to roll the ball more, its my natural shot and can drive me nuts sometimes. Now I'm not sure how it will work for learning to do it, but when I lose my release ( usually because I get to thinking too much) here are the steps I use to get it back.

1. I throw several shots just like I would a spare shot, very flat, no wrist cup, and no lift with the fingers. The reason I do this is just to see the ball roll and to stop worrying about reaction.

2. I start adding the other parts in to start increase reaction of the ball. Usually my first step it to add the lift of the fingers back in . At this point I'm still shooting it just like a very flat spare shot, but the added lift gets the ball reacting and having a bit more normal shape.

3. I usually add in the wrist cup and now you are pretty close to seeing the roll you want to see but with more reactions. From this you can start adjusting things if you want to see a bit more axis changes. ( They are really easy to see and do with this type of release imo)

Now the downside I've found to this release for me is that if things dry up too much in the fronts and I need to get too deep, I just don't have the oomph on the backend to get it done. This is what I've been working on personally  and I've found if I take that and just come around it a bit more I can usually get it ( I just stink at replicating that part of it because it feels very odd )

The problem with going deep using end over end roll ( low axis rotation ) is if you have to loop the ball around the oil.  This is pretty common on house patterns where the buildup in the middle stays in the midlanes after the heads break down.  On flatter patterns, or where you don't have a lot of high rev power players, end over end can be very effective from inside by playing a tighter line and moving your break point in as you move your target in.  Note the guys who bowled well on the Badger pattern on tour this summer.  Mostly lower rev end over end, playing 4th arrow on long oil.
