I'm guessing here, can't see you bowl.
Most folks that try to raise rev rate have no clue what their doing.
You can't turn your hand really fast at the end. The result will look like he rev rate increased, but the ball will burn up and loose all he stored wnergy in he first 20-30 feet, and leave weird stuff.

You nailed it. I was uncupping my wrist pretty hard at the release.

 Every persons physical ability level is different.

 Earl Anthony didn't get where he got by trying to be something he wasn't. He simply maximized and refined his personal abilities to the ultimate level HE could reach.

 Don't spend a lot of time trying to be something that you are not.

 The best in the game don't try to change their game, they try to maximize their individual abilities to the highest level possible.

 P. D. W. Is all about side turn, medium speed, and hooking the lane. He can do it the other way, but that game is his strength.

 W. R. W. Is all about speed and rolling up the back of the ball, going as straight as he can possibly go. He can do it the other way, but this is when he is at his best. It is who he is.

 They are both great bowlers, but neither tried to be what he isn't. They both played to their own individual strengths to be the best that they could possibly be.

 Be true to yourself, work on YOUR skills, develop what YOU are best at, and try to eliminate as many flaws as you can.  When you do this, you will be the best that you can possibly be.

If I wanted to spend all night trying to score, I would go to the bar... But really though, thanks! I think you guys have talked me out of trying to be a bowler I am not

Supposed to I think. Hasn't worked for me yet though lol. Has worked for two of my teammates in the past, but neither of them actually left the alley

Dittto Juggernaut's and Charlest's advice. Play to your personal strengths and focus
your efforts on perfecting these. I tried years ago to develop more of a power game
with less than satisfactory results. I also tried deploying a hinge pushaway, which also didn't work for my game. I spent months at both so it wasn't for lack of effort.
I finally came to the realization that these were not techniques that I could effectively
master on a consistent basis. I finally returned to my old game, which relies on accuracy and a standard pushaway and focus real hard on them. I also have expanded my knowledge of equipment and I  try to use it to enhance my "natural"
game. These are the combinations that have done more to improve my on- the -lane performance than anything else I have tried over the years. I just couldn't become
somebody I'm not, no matter how hard I tried.

So, unless one is blessed with a ton of natural talent (and there are few of these people around), focus on what works best for you and work real, REAL hard at it.
You will be surprised at how much improvement you can make.

 Best of luck!

Repeatability and accuracy trump rev rate most of the time.

To compete you need to have an excellent understanding of ball motion (transition from skid to hook to roll) and how to use it along with understanding how to attack a pattern/lane topography.  With this, no matter what your rev rate is, you should be able to compete.

Great bowling! Congratulations.
