The master himself:

Like the way he turns his foot at the end.

Reading the comments on this was interesting. Still seems some people don''t appreciate WRW Jr. Glad most were positive and called out the Dumb arses on youtube.

but his foot ONLY turns after he has completely released the ball.

I think part of the foot turning is because of his arm swing, and trying to stay balanced after the follow through.

Any motion/movement Walter Ray Williams, Jr., makes happens AFTER he has released the ball......it's just his natural style. I don't think he"ll ever really receive the credit he's due because of his style and his "A" game.

He isn't flashy like some, but flashy doesn't come close in win totals.

(Neither was Earl Anthony)

Not that I'm a WRW fan but bowling is repitition and he does it very well. That being said there are very very very few "by the book bowlers". The book is just a guideline.
