Well I was bowling tonite and was trying to figure something out.

How far is it possible to swing the ball and still come up the back of it?

The reason I ask is because I got to the point if I came around the side it was overreacting until I moved in, even slightly more and it was under-reacting. Talking standing 30 throwing 17 out to 5. So I starting coming up the back of it and found I couldn't get it all the way out to 5 and had the ball jump through the nose a few too many times for my liking when it didn't make it out there. If I moved in and played tighter, it left weak 10s and didn't finish. I found the ball started moving 5-10' sooner up the back vs around the side. For a pearl, even if it is particle pearl (eraser particle pearl), it should still get longer than 30-35' before it starts moving on a 40' pattern.

Any advice on swinging the ball while still staying behind the ball? Or should I just wait for my shooter to get here and shine it a bit, and when this is happening switch balls?

Any help is, as usual, appreciated.

Chris - The reaction you are describing is an over/under reaction.
Too deep you leave corners and an adjustment right to get the corners out makes the ball go high.

The best 1st solution to over/under is less ball reaction.
The easiest move is go to a weaker ball.

But, you can also solve over/under by weakening your release and/or more ball speed and/or as you tried changing your release. I agree with CUR up the back puts the ball in a roll sooner meaning it will not skid as far as when you side roll the ball more.
